Best Vinyl Websites (according to me...)

In this post I would like to share with you a list of the websites that I follow about the vinyl world.
I tried to avoid the websites that are purely commercial (i.e. those that are only for buying & selling).

Maybe it is better to include the three below websites which can be considered as a marketplace not only for vinyl but all other mediums of music as well. The reason of my inclusion is that you can get a good amount of information on records, values etc...

www.discogs.com

www.cdandlp.com

www.reverblp.com

Anyhow here is the list for more informative websites (in no particular order):

• www.thevinylfactory.com : A very comprehensive website updated on a daily basis. You can find all kinds vinyl related news such as releases, shopping guides, record shops, analog gear and technology. There are also very fun and informative videos as well on vinyl culture. You can also find a video about Istanbul's (my hometown) vinyl scene.

• http://www.vinylmeplease.com: A "record of the month club" but a digital magazine as well.  You can find vinyl related columns, interviews, 10 best lists (not my favorite type of classification) and even a radio show. 

• https://www.analogplanet.com: One and only Michael Fremer's (Stereophile magazine) website. He is considered to be the guru of Hi-Fi, especially the analog world. On his website he posts almost anything about this world. There is a big section on hardware reviews (turntables, tonearms, cartridges, phono stages, cables, record cleaning machines, tweaks and accessories, anything you can name on reproducing sound). Another huge section is music reviews. He also closely follows main "Audio Shows" (such as CES, Rockymountain, all other big ones across the world) so you can get the latest information/launches on analog products.

• www.vinyljunkies.co: A very decent website about record news and reviews. The "Vinyl 101" section includes many tips on analog. They also have interviews and podcasts on vinyl culture.

•  www.longlivevinyl.net: A comprehensive site on many topics. They even have a print magazine. You can browse the news, featured articles, reviews, interviews and collecting guides.

On the other hand there is a monthly British print magazine called the "Record Collector" (http://recordcollectormag.com/). In my opinion it is the magazine for serious collectors. Its been around since 1980. Take a look if you ever find an issue.

So here are the 5 websites I try to follow on a daily basis. I am sure there are other good ones (please mention in the comments section about your favorites).
