Today's haul: The Jens Lekman re-recording of Night Falls Over Kortedala The Linden Trees Are Still in Blossom was a surprised because Amazon didn't tell me it had shipped. The rest I got from one seller on discogs who had a bunch of out of print records priced for $20 or $25, and only charged $5 for shipping. St Vincent Self Titled Alabama Shakes Sound and Color Bon Iver For Emma Forever Ago Gorillaz Self Titled Menomena Friend and Foe And then he included this random German record, no idea what it is.

My father recently gave me his old hifi, TT, amps, speakers, the lot. I had to recap everything to get it behaving and replace the output cables on the turntable but it's all working and accounted for now It's a Denon DP-57L along with a Luxman C-02 and M-02 pre and amp, and Acoustic Research AR91 speakers. So far I'm making my way through my extensive inherited Elton John collection and let me tell you, I'm having a great time. I've already got my discogs set up and an extensive wishlist going so, guess I'm all in on another analogue hobby. Megabound fucked around with this message at 13:02 on Jun 7, 2022 |

That is one helluva platter  I don't actually know what that spaceship-looking part is called. I was gonna say plinth but the plinth is the base part. Anyway it looks cool as hell and welcome to the worst and most expensive hobby that will drain the money from your wallet

I wish I could even find them in Brisbane let alone have them gifted to me Hey Brisbane buddy Turbinosamente posted:Nah play that ELO record instead. You know the one. I've got some ELO in the record collection he gave me, not up to there yet. I've been making my way through his and my mother's albums and going "oh poo poo, I remember this song" a bunch. It's neat, a bunch of my mother's stuff has her name written on the sleeve, with her maiden name, from when she was living in share housing. It's been an extremely cool way to connect with my parents. I've also got a technical question, I've got 2 arms for the turntable, a straight and a heavier S. I'm trying to decide which to use, and as far as I can ascertain the S would have been used for low compliance carts that need a heavier tracking force while the straight is for more modern high compliance low tracking force carts, is that correct? Would I see any benefits from using one or the other? It's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff on any forum I find this question on.

Megabound posted:Hey Brisbane buddy I get the impression that it's mostly just an aesthetic preference  it seems like there are arguments for both but as long as the cartridges are aligned properly it shouldnt make any difference to sound quality?I have a stack of old records that I either have duplicates of, that I don't like anymore, or whose condition is questionable if you want some freebies to help get you started?

That'd be extremely kind of you and I'll absolutely take you up on that. I'm currently in isolation but I'll shoot you a PM and we can work something out.

That is pure distilled Q1 1994, man. Except for Bobbitt which is from Q1 1993. Saving that video now Edit: also i lost my poo poo at the Brad Roberts reveal, how many times has Weird Al played with the original band? At the time that their song was popular no less?? Everything there is extremely my jam. pwn fucked around with this message at 06:34 on Jun 9, 2022 |
