A short, curated guide — not an automatic related dump. Figures come from SubMouse's safe-for-work directory when we have them.
r/vinyl (about 2.3M members, directory rank #483) is for everything record-related. Broader music discussion, new-music discovery and hi-fi playback gear each fit better when the thread is not spinning discs.
Stay on vinyl for pressings, setups and record collecting. Use Music for general music talk, listentothis for discovering tracks, and audiophile when the focus is playback gear quality.
