Hi fellow vinyl lover! 😁
Welcome to my vinyl and audio playground on the web!
My name’s Ed Lansink, and I’m the author and founder here on VinyliQ.
I’m an 80s/90s kid who grew up with cassettes and CDs primarily, but I knew vinyl records as a young child. I used to listen to my dad’s vinyl collection in the attic on his old-but-still-functioning Philips turntable. I’m a curious tinkerer by nature, so any type of technology sparks an innate need to explore.
There was something about those shiny black discs that was special. Fascinated with how they worked, I listened to The Beatles, The Beach Boys, CCR, The Kinks, and a bunch more 60s/70s classical albums over and over again.
After a few decades of Walkmans, Discmans, Minidisc players, WinAmp, Napster, Grooveshark, and Spotify, I somehow ended up in my parents’ attic again. Rediscovering all those albums and singles, something reignited that fascination.
One Hi-Fi setup, three turntables, many vinyl purchases, and one depleted bank account later, I’m a self-confessed vinyl addict.
(I say “self-confessed,” but it’s usually “semi-outed by my better half.”)
