i picked up the Akira vinyl at Turntable Lab in NYC. They said they're gonna have it on their website soon if you're interested.
I gotta say after listening to it on mp3 for years, it sounds pretty glorious coming off the vinyl..
I've got around 1000 records, mostly hip-hop and electronic music (house, ghettotech, UK stuff), with some alternative and punk albums in there. I still DJ with vinyl once in a while so it somewhat justifies the collection.
Spoiler:
I wish I had my vinyl collection still, so I could rip them at 24-bit/192kHz and make some FLACs out of them. I just picked up a high end portable music player that can handle those files and they sound AMAZING.
If anyone has a turntable that you can rip to wav at that quality I'll pay you money to rip your stuff for me.
what player might I ask?
May I ask what you paid for it?
Unfortunately all my wants are ridiculously expensive now, think the vast majority of my wants list on discogs are all in the £50-100 bracket.

What's so cool about them is they have a strong enough output to handle headphones up to 300 ohms, so I can use my AKG 702's on them, but for most listening I use Grado 225i's. Good stuff.
I own Tool's Aenima on vinyl, the original volcano pressing still sealed, supposed to be worth a bit. Before anyone screams "bootleg" no, I purchased this back in the 90's .
Not too sure how many records I've got but must be over 1000 by now. Unfortunately all my wants are ridiculously expensive now, think the vast majority of my wants list on discogs are all in the £50-100 bracket.
I have a few but wouldn't really call myself a "collector"

lol, not to sound like an elitist prick, but but the 50 to 100 bones bracket qualifies as "ridiculously expensive" for you?
That's the entry level price point in vinyle/LP collecting.
Choice shit in the rock/punk/grunge genres range from 500 to 2000 per title.
I collect a bit but seeing as how vinyl is characteristically both in terms of the large size & extreme weight it is best to keep tabs on what you buy selection & condition wise. Being conservative as a whole with vinyle can make you end up with a desirable collection worth thousands to tens of thousands (depending on how far you want to take it).
The reverse end of that is having over a thousand to thousands of albums (taking up prime real estate & weigh a fucking ton) that can be a bitch to move/sell off or that no one wants at all.
oh fuck, that x5 is very up my alley....too bad its way out of my budget.
It appears that I have Opiate (sealed) & the theme colored vinyl of Lateralus (also sealed). either of those worth anything?
