CornHolio posted:Yeah my Technics seems to work just fine. When I got it I immediately replaced the cartridge (which had never been replaced in 28 years) with a cheap Audio-Technica P-mount cartridge but my understanding has always been that that's really the limiting factor for this turntable so I've always wanted one with a more traditional mount. Sorry to keep bringing this up, but I don't know poo poo about poo poo and am trying to learn. I set up my new turntable yesterday. Got some nice Edifier bookshelf speakers and honestly everything sounds great. Part of setting up the turntable was attaching and then adjusting the counterbalance. This is something I have never done, as my Technics has a static tonearm. There are no adjustments to the counterbalance. Do all of the P-mount cartridges have the same tracking force? Or, if I upgrade, do I need to find a cartridge that has the same tracking force as the one my turntable came with from the factory? Long-term I'm trying to determine if I'm better off buying a nicer cartridge for the turntable I have, or saving up a bit more for a better turntable that would give me more options.

As far as I know, p-mount was supposed to remove all the guesswork of balancing a tonearm, so everything is balanced from the factory to the correct spec. If a cartridge is designed to use a higher/ lower tracking force, they just manufacture the cartridge to be heavier or lighter. So it should just be plug and play.

BigFactory posted:Hell yeah. Looks amazing The blu-ray has a beautiful restoration but Neil Young decided to recut the film and also removed about 2/3 of the Hey Hey My My scene which is the best part of the movie. If you want to see the original cut you're going to have to watch an old VHS transfer. The full version of that sequence is on youtube at least. caligulamprey posted:
Maybe the cops were getting into the 50th Anniversary experience too by harassing men for wearing women's clothes in public just like they did in the 70s! Is there anything straights can't ruin?

Hell yeah! Also OMG I laughed so loving hard just now as it was playing and I heard the chorus to Age of Aquarius this loving rules. E: Yeah this rules, listened to it while writing this post lol Anyway lemme dump my recent mail arrivals: the other side is actually mostly black with a bit of blue, looks pretty cool. And to whoever was saying this album sounded weird and was looking for my input, after listening to the vinyl and the digital copy I have, it's just the album, it's meant to sound that way lol. Kinda pissed because I love this score but side B is ever so slightly warped so some tracks have a bit of a wobbly sound. Sadly the digital edition has a couple extra songs I hoped would make it onto the vinyl but they didn't. Ah well, I can always enjoy "Saturday Night" via streaming Sadly the photo doesn't really do the disc color justice, it looks so loving nice in person. Available at Target. Fun fact: I'm pretty sure I killed any chance I had at a second date with a cute goth girl one time because I told her I prefered Peter Murphy's solo work to Bauhaus. Another disc that pops way more in person It's blue! This one honestly feels like the most "Premium" record I've bought, really nice stock for the cover, a full sleeve sized booklet with lyrics and pictures. Clear with a red splatter, looks cool as hell It is hella blue Speaking of weird electronic poo poo I love Green vinyl that looks sick as hell I've got a couple more odds and ends coming but I'll share em when they arrive

I was on a second or third date with this older metal\goth musician and Bauhaus came up on my mix I was playing for us; he took the opportunity to tell me the story of how he was introduced to them by a couple of super hot witches (his words) and how they were all over him at some party. For some reason I went out with him a few more times, but realized his favourite topic of conversation was reliving his heyday and how many girls were totally into him all the time, but trying to play down like he never really cared about them...I should've taken the Bauhaus clue and peaced out then. Who knew Bauhaus were such harbingers of failed relationships.

So this one is really good, I think. I like it a lot more than the last. A couple shippable songs and Stewart has a reverb-y vocal treatment on a few that I don’t really like (although it works well on one too), but overall very solid. The Stevie song is probably my favorite on the whole record, which I never thought I’d say.

Together they form the perfect Stevie pairing Dale Shaw for McSweeney's[i posted:All Songs By the Other Guy[/i] (I have mixed feelings about that piece but it has its moments) I really enjoyed Previous though that's hardly surprising. I received my vinyl on Saturday and my Japan CD came in Tuesday, I finally had a free minute to stage a proper shot early this morning. Been listening to it since Saturday night, and enjoying it quite a bit. I usually like to live with an album for a week or three so my Marnie Stern which also came in Tuesday will have to wait: AND it had a download code! For Bandcamp no less! A 2xLP with code for ~$20 in late 2022. I feel like I fell through a time tunnel.

In other news, that Jeepster order from Black Friday came in last week. BBC Sessions is a (now late) xmas gift for a friend, and because it didn't come with an obi despite Jeepster's outdated page saying it would, and because I have undiagnosed mental problems, i painted a bootleg strip this week The real strip from my US pressing doesn't have Storytelling represented, as Matador couldn't license it for whatever reason, probably because of snippets from the film that are in it (I remember their PR person lying* on FB back in 2014 and saying they never released it on vinyl originally, which is super weird as I own a Matador pressing of it ) but it was part of the UK Brilliant Career series, as evidenced by these photos from ebay Anyway a few more detail shots, so you can really take in that line work and lettering Final assembly. It certainly is a sham, though I doubt it'll be going for a grand *a pr person, lying?? quelle surprise!

The Savers near me had a Metallica live record from 2017 in the glass case priced at 100 dollars. I guess the manager checks discogs when they recognize a famous band's album. I've noticed that they glass case anything that's a release from the last ten years and mark it up to internet prices.

I love the occasional Discogs user that sells sealed records for MSRP, even when all the other ones for sale are priced at twice as much. It's how I got my latest Pharoah Sanders record.
