Babby's first good turntable The seller modified it, removed the pre-amp and cartridge, installed better plugs and grounding wire, and included a better counterweight. He assured me I'd eventually upgrade to a Technics 1200. I doubt it, unless they somehow come down in price. Even at a discount, this table plus a preamp and cart have run me about $450. I'm happy to finally have a decent player! On the way from Amazon is the AT 440MLB and an ART USB Plus preamp, and cables. Damned cartridge cost me more than the table. I almost got the Shure X97 but reviews said it sounded boring. Hopefully the extra $100 makes a difference. I want to thank everyone in this thread for the help. It's a lot to sift through!

So. I have an issue. The wires what came with my cart, all the black ends seem to be crimped shut. They absolutely will not fit on the connecters. Is there a secret thing I'm missing, or did I inexplicably get a gently caress-You set with my new cartridge. I've tried to pry them open, to no avail.

I'd love a flexi, I was just reading up on them the other day and thought it'd be pretty sweet to spin a new one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul9_LO-IsnE

There was a sweet Sparks box set that came out last year that had all four of their Island releases and a bonus LP with B-sides, while Halfnelson was reissued earlier in the year, too. ? Unless you can't use ebay, there you go.

Grand Prize Winner posted:Got something interesting. Ordered a flexi from a small artist a few months back and kinda forgot about it, and it never shipped. By way of apology she sent me 4 flexis instead of the single one I ordered. I gave two away to friends who have turntables, but that still leaves one. Anyone here want it?  It will be the first record I play when I finally get my table set up. Thanks!

Herb Alpert- and at least in my experience, Anne Murray- are staples of Goodwills, yes. Probably because he was massively popular with a generation who have been dying off in droves over the past decade, and their adult children take their dad's records to Goodwill

It is $20 worth of records for Chill Callahan That said, fantastic haul. Are a lot of them still covered in cellophane, or just the few you've posted? Either way it seems this dude really Cared for his collection and will doubtless return to haunt his offspring for just hauling it out to the curb.

Google Butt posted:On a whim I decided that I wanted to get a record player, so I got myself an AT-LP3. Unboxed it today and my dad surprised me with his crate of records from when he was a kid, didn't even know he had them! Most super dirty, but I found a clean ELO LP, threw it on with my dad. Very cool experience listening to something with my father that he hadn't heard in 30 years. I also dug out a random LP that I had never head of before and it turned out to be 100% fire (seriously), sounds so nice through my Magni 2 + HD650s.  2. Is that a potato crate? I was just at my buddy's house and he had about a dozen crates of taters in his garage; it didn't even occur to me to measure them, I might have to procure one or two 3. Is that oboe record the 100% Fire disc? 4. Fantastic photography, thank you for making nice pictures

I have an SNL LP from the first season like that. It’s basically an episode or best-of in audio form.  No musical guests, ironically. (This copy is a repress from the late 80s. The original issue from ‘76 has a purple title.)

Yeah, it’s $60 a pop under the guise of a sub. I bought the Icky X package last year, and the WS live show trio after that. I skipped (canceled) for #35. I’m afraid I may have to somehow find $60 for this, however

Nail Rat posted:Maybe they used to do it differently, but you can cancel up to the end of the first month of the quarter and still not get charged. So you have about four weeks to decide if it's worth it. Also, the Third Man sub is charged on the day of the month you subscribed. So if you originally subscribed on April 28th, then every quarter you will be charged on the 28th.

I thought this page 148 from 5 years ago would be fun to revisit Ras Het posted:What's the colouredest vinyl you got? Mine's this:  Golden Boots - Ev/Coyote Deathbed Surprize/Telelog Freedom. Yeah, that’s a tape of Telelog stuck on the front, PIAPTK like to be jerks about your record not fitting in with the rest of the collection. Nice orange sherbet-y vinyl  Jim White - Waffles, Triangles, and Jesus. Another PIAPTK beauty, translucent maple syrup double LP  King Gizzard - Polygondwanaland (Needlejuice Records pressing.) The second variant of NJR’s inaugural release, a red and blue split  Mother 2 (Earthbound) OST repress. I bought it for myself, and received the Meteor Splatter, nice. Then I realized it would be a perfect gift for a friend’s birthday and ordered a second copy. When he opened it, we discovered he got a variant, Ghost of Starman Starburst. We agreed it would be Totally Cool and Kickass to swap discs and now we both have both   And an oldie  (Wooden) Wand/Golden Boots split 7”. My first taste of Golden Boots, found in a St Paul record store some 8-ish years past. Also one of my first color records.

MrSargent posted:It looks like it has RL / SS in the dead wax, is it actually a different pressing? Robert Ludwig mastered it “hot” at Sterling Sound, which caused the stylus to jump out of the groove on cheap turntables. Atlantic’s president ordered a remaster which wasn’t as dynamic. Since I’ve never heard this fabled pressing, I have no opinion of it, but good on you!
