Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

Have you seen the British company that does mods on the 1200s? I can’t remember their name now but their shit looks awesome. I’d like to go that direction too eventually. You know, when my kids are older, I’ve put them through university, I’ve paid off my mortgage, pretty much when I have about 5 years left to enjoy it!

Hahaha this is one of the reasons I've started to protect my hearing more on job sites. I want to be able to hear what an endgame system sounds like by the time I'm old enough to afford it!

I'll let other more knowledgeable people speak to the technical aspects, but the LP60 has a low quality stylus and a relatively high tracking force so there is a risk for more groove wear. That's at least the gist of what I was reading.

Which they claim is a bit high, but not 5g+ so it shouldn't harm your records.

What about when VMP tells you to put a penny on your headshell to get your copy of Demon Days to track right? 😂

LP-60 was my starter turntable as well - ran with it for about 2 years before upgrading to the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon. No shame in that - we all start somewhere!

Like @Lee Newman my setup is very mid-fi, and probably going to stay that way for the foreseeable future. :)

Yeah I’m around 2 years with it now, will be on Christmas actually. Can’t complain about it too much, it’s really opened up my ears and gotten me into vinyl when I had zero interest before. My fiancé actually bought me the yellow ATLP60 with Bluetooth for Christmas thinking it was something I would get into and boy was she right lmao. I would have never asked for a record player but somehow she knew it was the perfect gift. Now, 2 years later and close to 200 records in it’s looking like it’s time to upgrade the deck! I’m pumped.

I like Alabama Shakes a bit, but not that much. They sound so American if you know what I mean. I don’t know how to describe it, but Alabama Shakes music sounds like The American Dream/Americans that respect their flag/a bit blue-collar and a bit white collar. I’m not trying to say their music sounds patriotic, but it just sounds so damn American

As a Murican who has spent every Philadelphia Eagles football home game tailgating for over 20 years now , I can say the parking lot tailgate is pretty much broken up into 3 groups.
Late 40's and up plays Classic/Hard Rock AC/DC, Zepplin, Metallica, Guns N Roses
Early 30's - Late 40's Mostly 90's rap and Grunge- Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Tool, Wu Tang, Notorious BIG, Mobb Deep
Under 30's - Mostly Lil Pump and Post Malone with a few Meek Mill songs in.

All of these songs are playing at the same time as loud as the car speakers can get , or Ion tailgaters can get with random people screaming Go Birds, or doing the Eagles chant every 5 minutes or so.

E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!

For the record, I am a Bears fan but any chance to reference “Always Sunny...” I am gonna take it.

Thanks for all of the feedback from those above! Been super helpful and informative. I just changed my savings goal to get the Fluance RT85! I’m already about 1/5th of the way there! How exciting, upgrades coming sooner than later.

I have just quickly flashed through here so my apologies if someone has already brought this up, you might wanna look for a quality used Japanese made deck. Vintage equipment can be had at a fraction of the cost and can come at quite a value. You just need to keep a look out on Offer Up or Craigslist (and it’s good to test it out beforehand to make sure it is all in working order). I currently have 2 very decent direct drive Technics one from the early 80’s the other from the late 70’s and both work well for me (obviously I had to clean them up a bit and change out the carts) all said and done I maybe have a little over $100 invested in both total. Plus the retro aesthetic is cool AF. Just another option to consider.

I will second this. Esp. since you live in/near LA. I bet there are repair shops available, too. You might be surprised what you find.
