Preview on portable turntables.

Does anybody here take a portable record player with them to record stores and listen before you buy?

Hell yeah only at the spots where I know there are no players. I take that shit to record conventions too.

no.... but at my record shop you can listen before you buy we have a booth .



i have never used a portable to dig it just distracks me from my real work reading liner notes and attempt readin the grooves. we didnt have portable avaible when i started diggin we did but not like todays standards.

lol i don't listen to records before i buy them.

I got a pretty good store in my hometown. I know the guy behind the counter and I can tell him what I'm after (breaks, chords, strings, ... ). He'll just give me a stack of records to check out and everything he gives me is really good. Maybe not what I'm looking for to use at that moment but I always come out with a bunch of usable records.

I take my portable record player with me when I go to another country so I can listen in my hotel.

I bring mine with me

i'll preview a record to see what the steeze is like on it, but that's it.

i hate listening to something before i actually sit down and sample it. ruins the whole excitement of things
