Chad Kassem you'll know as the owner of Acoustic Sounds / Analogue Productions / Quality Record Pressings.

In this video, he takes you into his Acoustic Sounds record 'vault' & also to his home collection - from which Chad chooses to manufacture & re-issue via Analogue productions.

Further, see Chad's turntable collection (incl. a Sound Burger!).

But its only a silver one


And a Sony portable too!

some nice records

but... even though it was from 2012, the video and sound quality of that visit was appalling.

I found it acceptable, maybe im not so picky ! I did think that he was limiting his collection by only collecting mint copies of things. Some of my real finds have been in less than perfect condition, and its not unusual to find an lp that looks in terible condition but after a good clean actually plays OK. I also have LP's that look mint but dont play that way.

I think Chad's collection is partly, if not mainly now, to enable Acoustic Sounds to re-issue classic, & sometimes rare. albums.
Hence I assume, the need for pristine originals.
