Ooh, these are lovely, thanks for sharing! I definitely prefer something like this to the more sleek, "Apple store" look of the one I posted, so this was a great springboard. And yeah, it's going in a pretty small room (spare bedroom) for now. The warning about this only being viable for a small collection is spooking me though, as I already have close to 50 records and it's only been a couple of months. :P My fault for being into so many genres, I guess! I love the fact that appears to be a cat...posing for a picture...by a photo of the same cat? Cat says "Forget the room, clearly you're here to see ME!"

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:^ not sure on that speaker placement. I'm no audiophile, but might want a bit more space to breathe. From what I understand, they should never be in any sort of enclosure Finally someone who knows about the Instax wide. Also I like those pants. petit choux posted:If any of you guys are social influencers and are getting paid to tell people about brand new records they can get for ridiculous sums, please let me in on the grift. I'll work for vinyl. I'll buy things from you if you want to sell them at fair prices.

In my early 20s a friend of a friend had a small house downtown, with literally every wall covered in shelves like that. Easily 10-12 of those, and all filled top to bottom with records. I'm like 99% sure he rented that place, and I've often wondered if he just resigned himself to never ever moving.

I really like that refurbished cabinet! I'm planning on dropping a lot of money (for me anyways) on a locally made cabinet for my records on Thursday and this got me even more excited. Also I had the same haircut as your dog in middle school. Looks a lot better on them.

This isn't everything. I inherited a bunch of albums from my parents and grandparents and nearly all of the albums are artists that don't interest me ... or anybody else, either. I have a crate of 45s, a handful of 78s and a storage bin of 8-tracks. My Dad made the shelving unit years ago.

Lol I have a lot of ideas about a process for moving. This collection has been growing for nearly 20 years so I’ve been shuffling some amount of these records around for awhile now. I’m not afraid of moving but I’m not also looking forward to it. It will just be something I’ll have to do.

Does anyone else frequently buy poo poo from discogs sellers that grade the records way too high. This has happened with about 40% of everything I've bought on discogs in the last year and I just don't learn my lesson. I'm probably going to take a discogs break because Jesus gently caress it seems like these dickheads couldn't grade a record to save their lives. I understand people can't play grade every single thing they out up but they can at least take four seconds to hold the drat thing under a light before they declare it a VG+ when it's barely a VG-. gently caress off.

I’m terrified of buying records on Discogs for that very reason. I’d rather try to find stuff in person than rely on someone else’s grading (and then list comments on the condition that conflict with their grade). I’d also have no self control.

I read seller reviews and ask for photos. The more description they put in the listing is also a good thing to look for. I’ve gotten burned in the past but I feel like I’ve build a good muscle for sniffing out bad sellers / good sellers. Haven’t really had an issue. If I’m buying like a new record though and it’s a new seller I will always drop a line to just remove the disc from the sleeve. That always saves me.

Silversun Pickups is having a limited black/white press of their Carnavas album. https://www.newburycomics.com/products/silversun_pickups-carnavas_exclusive_2lp?variant=39851993235636  Limited whatever aside, I’m just glad to have the album re-release. I listened to it so much when it came out.

I check the reviews and you can't really take pictures that adequately tell you anything about the disc. A lot of sellers are dog poo poo at grading. The main reason I've resorted to using discogs is because of what a clusterfuck it is finding anything in a record store or a flea market these days. I never much liked buying records without being able to inspect them myself.

Crossposting, but I just found one of the bigger pairs of speakers I've ever found, in a dumpster. The midrange speakers are both shot, please advise if you think they're at all salvageable. The enclosures would be kind of redeemable with a coat of paint. I don't want them, but waste not, want not.  Pioneer CS-G403. 16" woofers. Do they look shot? ED: The covers are intact and look p good too. petit choux fucked around with this message at 21:50 on May 26, 2021 |

I don't want them, but waste not, want not. Do the drivers just need to be refoamed or are they actually dead? Refoaming is easy and you can do it at home (depending on how many you have to do it might cost more than just buying new equivalent speakers, though). But if those are working they will sound good.

I can give you some more detailed pics though and you can tell me, maybe. They are pretty damned dirty RN and arent coming off the patio for a couple of days, weather permitting.

They are pretty damned dirty RN and arent coming off the patio for a couple of days, weather permitting. So around the edge of each driver (I think, hard to tell from the photo on the tweeter) is a foam surround. It allows the cone to move within the enclosure. Over time that foam disintegrates and it makes the speaker sound like rear end. Those foam surrounds aren’t very hard to replace though. You order a kit and it has everything you need. You just have to price it out though if all 6 drivers need to be refoamed. It might be cheaper to find a comparable working speaker if you get a deal. Now if you just have completely dead drivers, you could always buy new ones from parts express or some place like that and just use the box and crossover. Or again, get new speakers. Replacement 12” woofers might be bucks. BigFactory fucked around with this message at 22:44 on May 26, 2021 |

The Walrus posted:edit: just use [img] imo if your browser doesn't resize images in 2021 thats a you problem Which is why I haven't bothered with that, I guess. Going to try them possibly this evening, if I can find some loose cable. Oh, BTW, I had to do a double take when I saw 6 ohm. It's so similar to an 8 I thought it was me for a second there.
