  • a hell of a time for my turntable to die and all my repair options in the area are either shut down due to covid or no longer in business!

    found one shop that does repairs and they told me I'd be better off getting a replacement unit and not bothering with a repair (that they wouldnt do anyways since it wasnt a high end piece of gear).

    I had the same trouble in SF, pre Covid, trying to get my Pro-Ject repaired. I ended up getting a new turntable and have my old one sitting in the closet, trying to figure out what to do with it. I did find a guy who seemed to know older turntables better than modern, I'll PM you his info.

    Taking recommendations for cartridge replacements on a Pro Ject Debut III. Been using a 2M Blue, but now it's definitely time to move on.
    well the basic version of Freddie Gibbs & Alch's Alfredo will be coming in soon! that's a positive for this year!

    Yea, I also got that one pre-ordered. Didn’t realize VMP would do their own at the time, guess I’ll have both until I flip the basic version.
    wow someone actually bought my copy of DS2... they dont have feedback though, i am taking pictures of this one before I send it out. just in case... *shifty eyes*
    i feel a tiny bit dumb for feeling like i need to make a completely separate discogs account just for my cd's, but something about co-mingling them with the LPs seems wrong... i dunno. saturday problems.

    A guy posted a an album at like $10,000 and then in the comments was telling a guy named Matthew to pay him for the Eminem album that he sent him prior to payment. DISCOGZ DRAMA

    What are some good record shops to take a look at for RSD? All my usual spots are either not participating or went out of business. So I’m SOL for the most part and gunna try my hand on some online shenanigans.

    Plaid Room would likely be a good choice.

    Follow the RSD thread. People will post when their stores put up leftovers online.

    I've been running my belt drive VPI TT for about almost 6 years. I was thinking about hooking up my old Technics SL-3300. It's not a high end piece of equipment, but it did a good job.

    Yea something about going direct drive and putting my belt drive into storage sounds very appealing. Also having the 33/45 switch on a button is a cherry on top.

    Consider double-boxing it, and buying insurance. Signature upon receipt not a bad idea, either.

    ah yea, i didnt consider the signature bit, but I did get it insured and packed it up exceptionally well. I used the last of my bubble wrap which was almost half a roll.

    I don’t usually go the sig route since it can become a nuisance if not home. But I guess everyone’s already home with this pandemic
    ive got so many pending orders on VMP... hopefully their sales team doesnt have any hard feelings about me dumping them.
    Now to see what life after VMP looks like. Cant wait to start hunting after market prices for whatever they have planned in the future.

    Riddle me this. When I leave my turntable cover open my left channel konks out and either only static or no sound come from it, but when I close it the left channel is perfectly fine...

    Hmm, I ordered some WD40 for electronic components and will go through each plugin and spot clean everything and check to make sure i dont have any loose connections anywhere on the turntable either. thanks for the suggestion.
