I like the poster of your setup right above your setup.

I did, theoretically, but I won't believe it until it's in my hands. What a shitshow.

The setup is slightly different. The poster has techs battle style, but I've got reloops set up normal. And the curtains never close. The neighbors see everything.

I've been collecting for about 5 years now mostly for djing purposes. Lots of dubstep, reggae, techno, breakbeat, and grime music

I would wait for black friday or until the next amazon 3 for 2 happens. They seem to happen a lot and have different selections each time

she could also check https://www.reddit.com/r/VinylDeals/ periodically

Any recommendations for a good receiver that isn't stupidly expensive? I'm currently using some Goodwill-quality Technics receiver that dates back to the mid to late 1990s and while it's... OK, I feel like it's a bit wasted on my AT-LP120, especially whenever I rip audio.

Check up on what you have because Technics is a good brand and you might have something nicer than you think. And really if you like how it already sounds then don't worry about it.

It's a Technics SA-GX490. I don't use it for anything other than my turntable and it belches out a lot of heat so it seems a bit overkill.

I might move it downstairs for a second turntable setup so while I could go the thrift store route again, I wanted to see if there was something more... modern and specialized that still doesn't break the bank.

Are there modern features you want? If it just needs stereo and a phono stage, I would think that receiver would be fine.

My local store opened up for appointments today. The owner had been backdoor handing me records since March and I'd been buying gift cards to offset the cost, but went in to finalize those transactions and get them off the books. I was trying to keep my spending down today, but I should have known as soon as I saw a YMO record on the wall that that wasn't going to happen.

I was never able to find that first YMO record in the shops although it's relatively common. you can get them secondhand online for fairly cheap. surprisingly I did find BGM once for 3 bucks and it was in great condition. never knew that one was actually released in America

I'll throw in an update on my UDISCOVER orders. I put in for four albums (all separate transactions), and I was able to get all of them with the $10 off code. I placed one on the first day, and three on the following day. I have received one of them, and it was one I placed on the following day. Everything has been charged though. Hoping I see the others soon. I'm sure I will, delivery is slow and they probably got slammed that week. Oh well.

Chiming in that I also have not received my uDiscover orders. Two orders: 3 items at 30% and one item at $10 off both placed Nov 2nd no shipping notifications as of yet. Stuff that did arrive in the mail however:



My continuing terrible taste in metal bands and hey I finally own a legit copy of Alive 2007 after like 13 years. Also a copy of Mystic Presents Instrumental Magic 2xCD set arrived and with it about 99% of my Christmas shopping is done, this year's scaled back for obvious reasons.

I got my udiscover order of two records on Saturday morning, no issues. One of my bandcamp records was supposed to arrive today (along with a few other things I ordered) but they couldn't figure out how to get into my building today. Wonderful.

I'm in the same boat with UDiscover, my initial order message said it would be shipping Nov. 8th but I've heard nothing since then, no shipping confirmation. Fortunately it's just two Queens of the Stone Age albums (Rated R and Lullabies to Paralyze) that I've already listened to tons of times but just hadn't picked up on vinyl yet. As long as they get here SOMEtime I don't mind the delay much, especially since I was able to snag both for just over $30.

A day after I emailed them about my order I got the shipping notice. Might be worth a try.

Two more of my orders have started moving. I think they are just crazy backed up and working through piles of stuff and just shipping as they find it. 3 out of 4 have movement so far. 1 arrived, 2 shipped, 1 still nothing.
