Welcome to VinyliQ!

My name’s Ed and I’m the editor of this vinyl collector’s nook on the web.

I’m a vinyl addict, I spend way too much money on records, turntables, preamps, speakers, headphones, and more, but I regret nothing. 😁

The upside of me buying all that stuff?

I enjoy helping budding vinyl collectors figure out what’s best for them and avoid some of my mistakes on the way.

I hope you enjoy the site and my frequent posts and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
