    The weight for my U-turn sold out so I can't buy one (thankfully I don't have much vibration since no speakers or anything)

    I feel like im pretty well guarded from vibrations at this point in my setup, but this one was super novel in how it has a built in 45 adapter and I aint gunna lie, the aesthetics were killer. I just counted it as a christmas gift to myself 😅
    so many packages, so many lost to the void.

    I shipped one Saturday morning at the post office. The tracking number hasn't been updated. It's the pre shipping status says that this doesn't guarantee receipt by the USPS. Lol

    A lot of IOU’s goin out this year for Christmas. I’m basically just trying to not watch tracking and just let everything be a surprise.

    Yeah my wife is getting two IOU's this year, good thing she likes me.
    how does a record, whose owner who is selling it, is 40 minutes away from me by car (if i had a car) takes an 8 hour detour to los angeles, gets lost in the central valley and still doesnt have a delivery date 7 days later 😭

    Everything in our area shipped as media mail goes through LA and then back up, its so silly. Once I had a record bounce between LA and SF for weeks, just never wanted to get off the bus and come home to me.

    Cali’s mail system is jacked right now. It’ll take me 2 weeks sometimes to get an album from a CA sender but I could get a package from FL in like 5 days.

    Reliable retailers for slipmats anyone?

    I didn't care for either of the mats that came with the PLX, I have an Achromat, they're a bit on the pricey side though. If you're interested I have a Hudson High Fi Acrylic mat you can have, I had it on the PLX and it was a much better option than the stock versions. Let me know ;)

    Yea I’m definitely interested in checking that out @AnthonyI

    @wenis, the acrylic? If so hit me up with a DM and I'll send it out to you.
    New Turntable and Cartridge assembled. Now the hunt begins for the rest of the system. Though the clarity is already a marked improvement.
    Since I Left You, anywhere to buy a bootleg reliably? Just so I can get the original samples and not these re-records people seem to be complaining about. This is for a gift so just wondering if anyone has an idea on this.
    so inklings of a surprise radiohead release are out there. confirm or deny.
    I have officially replaced the Phono input on my turntable. I am far too lazy right now to switch in my cartridge to test, but I soldered. It aint pretty, but the job is done.
    Worth it, traveling all the way to my office to snag my office turntable. Operation: Bob the Builder is still in effect though, just waiting for the part to arrive.
    if you grab anything from that BF sale today, make sure its Welcome to Bobby's Motel.
    Still holding out hope a Sam Herring x BADBADNOTGOOD jazz lounge album will happen someday.

    I'm starting to think BBNG is basically over since they lost a founding member

    I’m assuming you have heard Herring’s rap album?

    @bdm105 they were working on material earlier this year and put out a couple singles iirc. covid probably put a hard pause on it though.
    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).

    fml.

    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.
