Are there multiple issues of it or something? I'm sure I picked it up in NYC for about $25 a few years back just in the normal stands... E: equal vision version can be pricy, but the death wish versions are just normal prices, looking at discogs. EL BROMANCE fucked around with this message at 22:01 on Oct 20, 2015 |

Hey audiophile nerds, I got my new Shure M97xE cartridge hooked up to my turntable, and while it overall sounds a great deal better than what I had previously, I've noticed I can hear a quiet, tin-like droning sound when I listen with my headphones on. It's most noticeable during track fadeouts and silences. Is there something I can adjust to reduce this noise? It's a Numark TT-1600 connected to a pre-amp, which in turn is being run into my desktop computer.

Is it the needle? I feel like the most likely suspect would be your computer, but maybe reconnecting the needle might fix the hum.

Here's a hopeless question but I figure I'd give it a shot. Just picked up a Zevon album that I've been looking for for cheap. Sounded great but unfortunately looks like there's an issue with it. During one of the tracks there is something causing the needle to skip and repeat the same line over and over. Haven't noticed any visible defects to the thing, rest of the album sounds fine. Looked up online for solutions, tried taking a toothpick to it if it was dirt or grime, tried cleaning it, hasn't seemed to resolve the issue. Don't suppose there is anything else I can try before I return this thing?

Stand in the Fire, one of the live ones. It isn't terribly rare online, I just found it super cheap at a brick and mortar store where I live so it'd just be a shame if it turned out to be a bust. Edit: Nevermind, last three tracks on the same side are skipping too at the same location along the label. I guess I may not be able to see it but the thing is screwed.

My girlfriend and I have both been in to records for a while but haven't had a ton of time or money recently to really indulge in it. However since we are getting married this weekend I decided to get us a copy of Siamese Dream on vinyl, which is her favorite Smashing Pumpkins record. After the wedding we will see how the money situation is, I would love to upgrade our turntables and speakers to something a little better, maybe even get a nice vintage receiver as well. Its a hobby I have really wanted to get in to but in addition to saving up for a wedding we also live in an apartment, which doesn't really afford us a lot of space.

I have another album from sacred bones with one of those wax sealed prints. EL BROMANCE posted:Are there multiple issues of it or something?

For some releases Sacred Bones does a limited run of screen prints with the wax seal that they include with whatever the album is. The actual album and cover inside are otherwise identical to the usual release.

Thanks, it was a really tight fit but I managed to slip it out without breaking the wax seal.  Anyway, here it is:  Here is the download code if anyone wants it:  Here's the download code to the original album too, but it may be used already.

Picked up the single disc reissue of 'Future Perfect' by Autolux yesterday. Had a quick sconce at discogs before I took the plunge and some dude was saying it's kind of a crummy pressing, but I decided to take a punt anyway. Glad I did, it sounds great, and I don't see copies of it floating around very often (ever).

So I have been looking to find a decent copy of Stand in the Fire since this one turned out bad. May have found one but it is listed as being a part of "RCA Music club" does that mean in particular for the quality?

They may be mastered from a higher generation tape, so it could sound slightly worse.

Yeah if you don't get a hot stamper you might as well not bother. Going price should be under 1k.

Picked up some new records and got some DL codes for you all. None of the LPs are anything fancy really, so I'll just post the codes. Angel Olsen - Burn Your Fire For No Witness  Julia Holter - Loud City Song and Julia Holter - Have You In My Wilderness  Ought - Sun Coming Down and Ought - Once More With Feeling...  Sun Coming Down is one of my top 3 albums this year. I'd recommend it if you're a fan of bands like Women and Slint but expect something a little more art-punk and sardonic - it's good stuff!

It is not what I was really expecting from them from past records or from the singles. I would be happy if the whole album sounded like snakeskin, but I have not problem with the direction it went.

So was re-recording this to my PC http://www.discogs.com/UNKLE-War-Stories/release/989398 And when the last track was uploaded to my Google Play account it automatically added the version with a bonus track on the CD release. So I guess that's kinda neat.

Gonna pick up that Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness boxset today. Know a place where they've got two of them for $70 and I think it'd be a good idea to get it while I want it and I can find it for under $120....
