actionjackson posted:I took another look, I didn't realize that this piece lifted the tonearm up and down. I'm not able to always replicate it, so I'm not sure what causes the noise to happen, and yeah it doesn't affect the turntable at all, it's just a bit of an annoyance. If you're using the lever to raise and lower the tonearm while its resting on that piece, does the lever have a soft or hard feedback when you raise and lower it? I dont have the same table, but its within the same family so it operates the same. There is a spring in there that may have gotten misaligned over time. could take a few times of gently raising and lowering the lever until the problem resolves itself unless the spring is totally out of wack.

There’s a lot more that could go wrong with it than that. I wouldn’t worry about it. If that’s the biggest issue with the auto return you’re doing good.

The best Rolling Stones album by far is Their Satanic Majesties Request and the band took a sharp decline as soon as Brian Jones left. I always found Exile on Main Street to be kind of boring an extremely over appreciated. The only Stones albums I still listen to are Between the Buttons and Satanic Majesties. But I know this take has always gone against the grain.

The only Rolling Stones record I ever liked was Some Girls and that’s because the first Stones single I genuinely enjoyed at a club was the Miss You disco edit.

I just have very fond memories of spending a lot of time in my late teens with a coke dealer that really loved that album. And it's got a few zingers. You got to scrape the poo poo right off your shoes is good.

It's too bad that they were such cowards and abandoned that musical direction when people didn't like that album. I liked them more when I was in my classic rock phase but they're too much of a white people blues band and I'm not really into that anymore.

Exiles is just a nostalgia trip for me since I found this today. In the 80s I lived in the dingiest Chicago suburb, was painting houses with Son Seals' kids in my lovely subdivision, drinking tequila all night and playing lovely guitar by the lovely lake. Exiles was a great soundtrack to that Yeah, this is great. Nice job on the mixing board, too. I might have to take up drinking on a more regular basis. petit choux fucked around with this message at 04:57 on May 23, 2021 |

You know who I really love as a guitarist? Daevid Allen. When he said, "You just have to be what you are, my friend, today," he looked me right in the eye. But he is the reason I bought a Steinberger. ED: Hohner knockoff, really, but WTF

petit choux posted:Okay, I have made it to Wild Horses and Bitch, and now I consider your claim without merit. See, I think Sticky Fingers has just as many great songs as Exile, it just doesn’t have ALL those other songs on it. I never need to hear Brown Sugar again on purpose as long as I live, but at least it’s track 1 so it’s easy to skip. Wild Horses is another skip if I’m not in the mood. I love Satanic Majesties too, but Between the Buttons and even most of Aftermath completely miss the mark for me. The Monkees were making stronger music at that point. I think part of the problem is my old CD of between the buttons has that terrible stereo mix with drums on one channel and guitar on the other and vocals sound lovely and it’s just horrible. Unlistenable in a car. Somehow albums like Help! did that better even though it was still horrible. Maybe I need to find a mono copy and try again. Stupid Girl is still a bad song.

Goddamn, I've been having a horrible time lately with the quality of records I'm receiving. Horrible warps, surface noise, just overall lovely pressings. It's like COVID completely wrecked any sense of quality control from the pressing plants. To top it off I've had trouble getting my new cartridge balanced right and then the other day I accidentally dropped my brand new copy of Saba's Care for Me as I was lifting it from the turntable and it got caught under the needle, creating a huge scratch. I... I think I loving hate collecting vinyl you guys.
