About Alissa
Hi, I’m Alissa—and welcome to my listening room! This space was inspired by a mix of my favorite things—lots of light, a growing vinyl collection, and a few spooky touches. I’ve been collecting physical media since I was a kid, and I still get excited every time I find a new record. My go-tos? Taylor Swift, Kelsea Ballerini, Megan Moroney, Sabrina Carpenter, Joshua Bassett, and anything Wicked-related. I’m also obsessed with Halloween, horror movies, and true crime.

Ask Alissa
I’ve always been a collector of physical media! Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved collecting CDs — there’s just something so special about holding my favorite albums in my hands. As I got older, I’d always find myself wandering through the vinyl section at Target, admiring all the records. One day, I finally decided to buy one — Lover by Taylor Swift — even though I didn’t have a record player yet. I kept it sealed for a couple of months until I got my first turntable, and little did I know that one record would spark a full-on passion for vinyl… and a collection of over 200! The detail and care that go into physical formats like CDs and vinyl just make them feel so much more meaningful to me.
It’s crazy to think how much my setup has grown from where it started! There’s not really a strict theme — it’s just a mix of all the things I love that make me happy. From my CD player and rack of favorite albums to my LEGO record player and light-up Wicked movie popcorn lantern, every piece means something to me. I wanted my setup to feel like an extension of myself.
It’s crazy how this all started, because one day I decided to search up vinyl records. That’s when I found a bunch of amazing creators showing off their collections — and I instantly knew it was something I wanted to do too. I’ve always loved editing and making videos ever since I was younger, so it felt like the perfect fit. Whenever I’m filming or editing, I kind of slip into my own little world. It’s something I’ve really grown passionate about.
I have a couple! I’d say my RSD Wicked movie soundtrack — I love Wicked more than anything, so I feel so lucky to have it in my collection. I’d also pick any of my custom records, since they’re completely designed by me with handpicked track lists. They’re totally unique, which makes them extra special!
I absolutely love this community! Everyone is so kind and supportive, and it makes me so happy to connect with others who love physical media and vinyl as much as I do.
Setup Breakdown
Alissa’s setup is a wonderful representation of her world. The moment you look at it, you can tell it goes beyond just a music space – it’s a collection of things that matter. At its core, the Spinbase 2 and Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT sit as the central hub where all the surrounding media comes to life. Everything branches out from there, connecting sound, style, and comfort into one cohesive flow.
Beyond the gear, it’s the details that really pull it together. The CD rack, the collectibles, and that rotating “Now Playing” display all add personality and rhythm to the space.
It’s the kind of setup that feels balanced and personal – a real listening room made to be used and loved.
