    Default Gramophone...

    It would be ludicrous to talk about gramophone these days but I sincerely want to own a gramophone.
    Can you people tell me where to get a decent one from? What about the records? Do music companies release gramophone records these days?
    How much it'll cost me and everything that you want to share.

    I may be the few who own LP/EP records. I have a record player at home.

    But I am afraid that in India you will not find new phono records. You may be able to get old stuff from resellers. Also, I have not seen anyone manufacturing a gramophone or record player.

    However, in UK and Europe, I did find records still being sold. This is because many older generations still own record players and there is enough market. But there too, the technology is slowly being phased out.

    I still have a turntable. I have hooked it up with my music system and the effect it produces can even beat the CDs most of the time.

    there are several places where u can find old LP/EPs. Kolkata is perhaps the best place in this regard.

    Yes. Records produce awesome sound. The only disadantage is the scratch sounds on older records.

    Just the other day, I had put on the Beatles record. It was phenomenal.

    Hi Nandini,
    I am here on this thread also. I have a gramaphone player.
    I love the warm sound it produces. I have about 20-30 LPs.

    I would love to have the one with the big horn (like the HMV logo)
    mine is a flat turn table connected to two speakers. I'll take
    some pictures and post it later.

    -F

    p.s why am I not surprised that the ones that have gramaphones
    are Kix, Panchabuth and myself ;-)

    I am surprised Nandini even know what a grmaphone is, I would
    expect her to be the ipod generation ;-)

    The same thoughts occurred to me as well. But I did not want to sound patronizing (which I do many times )

    gramaphone was very popular here. during festivals and meetings
    we used to have MGR songs in the loud speaker. and in winter
    we used to hear religious songs in the early morning.
