This is where every piece lands. Reviews, gear guides, vinyl talk, deep dives, quick takes, everything I’ve written for New Vinyl Day lives here

I started this blog to keep track of what matters: how records sound, how they’re pressed, and what gear makes the most of them. No filler. Just the stuff that makes collecting fun, and sometimes frustrating.

If you’re here for reviews, you’ll find every album I’ve covered, including new releases, reissues, and odd finds. I don’t rank or rate, but I do tell you what I hear. If a pressing is noisy, flat, bright, warm, or just plain off, I’ll say so. If it’s worth grabbing, I’ll say that too.

If you’re after gear talk, I write clear, no-nonsense guides for turntables, speakers, carts, and everything else that spins or sings. Whether you’re starting or upgrading, I try to keep it simple, useful, and honest.

Some posts go long. Others are short bursts. Some are personal. Others are straight-up tech. The point is that they’re all written for people who care about records, not trends, hype, or clicks.

So dig through. Use the tags or just scroll. If something grabs you, read it; if it doesn’t, skip it. This page isn’t trying to sell you anything. It’s just here to help you get more out of what you already love.

And if you’re new, welcome. If you’re back, cheers. Either way, you’ve got some reading to do.
