WASDF posted:Though I'm not sure what tracking force is and how he would change it. And his first copy of Sung Tongs skipped in only one place consistently but this one skips at that spot and then many times after it. The AT-LP 60 doesn't have a counterweight, so the tracking force can't really be changed. His best bet, if he can find access to one, would be to try the record on another turntable.

Cpt. Spring Types posted:What, seriously? Are you the guy who snagged Electric Version before I could finish checking out? That may have been me. Sorry! Their checkout page gave me an error when I chose to finalize my order, so I had to go through the process all over again. I hope they didn't double charge me. The site seemed kind of sketchy in general, though. Random pages, such as the one about free shipping information, would link to pages about albums I didn't even click on instead. At least it's good to know that other people here have previously made purchases from the site without incident.

I Might Be Adam posted:So the new St. Vincent album is up for pre-order. The limited LP and 12" seems like something I'd want but it's like $32. Then I looked at the shipping... $15 for Priority Mail. In that same period of money-hating, I also ended up buying the special red and green pressing of Sufjan Stevens - Illinois from Newbury Comics:  I seriously didn't need to buy that album for a third time. I may have a problem.

Sorry, but I'm not dropping $50 for this. I'll wait until Amazon has a listing for it and just buy vanilla LP.

Here's a heads up for those of you into color vinyl variants. All of the Newbury Comics exclusive pressings are available for online ordering again. Their website was previously sold out of Bon Iver - For Emma, Volcano Choir - Repave, and Talking Heads - Fear of Music. They're kind of pricey, but I figured there may be people that are interested in them: http://www.newburycomics.com/rel/v2_home.php?storenr=103&deptnr=754 I just received their copy of Sufjan Stevens - Illinois in the mail today and it is beautiful. interpunct fucked around with this message at 22:40 on Dec 14, 2013 |

resident posted:What is up with Barnes and Noble offering obviously OOP records like 808s and Heartbreak on their website with a 'usually available within 1-2 weeks' disclaimer in the cart? Anybody here ever tried ordering? Do they just hold your money for 2 weeks and tell you sorry? There's a repressing that was originally announced for release on February 4th. About a month ago, the release date got pushed back to March 18th, so Barnes and Noble probably hasn't updated that page since the initial announcement.

Snowy posted:Speaking of local-ish stores, I finally checked out the new Rough Trade in Brooklyn, and it's pretty amazing. It's got all the high prices you would expect, in a huge industrial space with rooms made out of shipping containers. There's an effects pedal area where you can play a synth or a guitar through all sorts of boutique pedals. There's catwalks, a gallery, and a performance space. Boycott multinational independent record stores! Rough Trade's Brooklyn store has had one big issue since opening - most of their scheduled live performances have either been cancelled or moved to other venues in the area. Despite the prices, the place has stocked some decent "exclusive" releases like the Sky Ferreira LP on green vinyl before it went up on her web store and both of the xx singles box sets. They've had some cool in-store signings recently, too. St. Vincent was really sweet and chatted for a few minutes with everyone who showed up to get her new album signed the other day.

Last record store day I went to a store (J&R) that took your list and gathered everything for you which was really cool, but that place has since shut down. This year I tried out the new Rough Trade shop in Brooklyn, since they listed everything they'd have in stock ahead of time. They only let in around 40 people at a time, but everything was in crates and people were climbing over each other just to get to them. I wish more stores would go one-by-one filling out requests. At least I got what I wanted most - Camera Obscura, Chvrches, the Space Project, Scott Pilgrim, and LCD Soundsystem.

screenwritersblues posted:Apparently, there's going to be an Amoeba annex in the the new Urban Outfitters that's going to open in Herald Square. I assume that they're either just testing the waters to see if they can break into the market like Rough Trade or are just working with Urban. Either way, it's going to be interesting to see how it's going to work. http://blog.urbanoutfitters.com/blog/uo_first_look_herald_square "...the record company will bring a curated assortment of over 400 vintage vinyl titles that can only be found in our Herald Square location" What are the chances that these "vintage vinyl titles" will just be overpriced dollar bin fodder? That UO opens this weekend, so I might swing by there out of morbid curiosity.

Trip report re: Amoeba Records in the new NYC Urban Outfitters - don't bother. The selections were housed in one shelving unit and everything was re-sealed, so checking out the condition of the records wasn't possible. Anything Beatles, Rolling Stones, or Pink Floyd was at least $20, even if the jackets were badly creased. Other albums were priced between $20 and $40.

Do I have to stand in line and fistfight people to get a copy or can I order it online?

Who's ready to pay $150 for 6 hours/9 LPs worth of the same song?quote:On May 5, 2013 The National collaborated with Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson on A Lot of Sorrow, a durational performance presented as part of MoMA PS1’s Sunday Sessions. Kjartansson, who often uses repetitive performance to explore collective experience and emotion, invited The National to play their three-minute, twenty-five second song “Sorrow” live on stage, repeatedly and continuously, for six hours. This incredible feat of endurance has become legendary, and the audio recording of the performance will be released as a limited edition 1,500 run vinyl boxed set by 4AD on June 22, 2015. http://alotofsorrow.com

CPL593H posted:for 400 dollars you can do a lot better than this gimmicky piece of poo poo that's probably on par with a Crosley. I'm also wondering how the tone arm stays on the record and if it requires heavier pressure than a normal turntable. quote:The tracking force is (dynamically) applied by a spring as opposed to the usual counterweights found in horizontal record players in which the arm is (statically) balanced. Spring loaded tracking force is beneficial in regards to consistency of the force applied—especially on warped records. Our tone-arms are factory-set at the optimal tracking force of ~2 gram
