Hi everyone - I'm a huge music fan from Leeds, who is starting out with vinyl. I mostly listen to digital music through a B&W Zeppelin at home, but I'm really keen to start building up some vinyl.
I have recently dug out an old record player and bought a second hand amp and some brand new speakers to start, but I'm planning to upgrade to a new turntable and amp in the next few months.
I like a wide range of music, but I'd say the main artists I listen to are New Order\Joy Division, Bruce Springsteen, Pet Shop Boys, Kraftwerk, Editors, Manic St Preachers, Neil Young, Morrissey/The Smiths and Depeche Mode.
Looking forward to contributing to this forum and chatting to some of you as I continue my vinyl adventure.

I went to the Cleethorpes Record Fayre yesterday, shame I did not tell you about it in time, there were some great buys.
If you're interested, I'll let you know when the next one is?
