Wharfdale Linton 85s acquired baby. My greatest audiophile savings journey has come to an end. Bye bye Klipsch R-51PMs!

Received 5 record packages today, 2 of them were new records, 3 of them were replacements, only 1 record (Quiet Kenny) isn’t going to need a(nother) round of replacements. THIS CLOSE TO BECOMING ONE OF THOSE DUDES THAT JUST BUYS AP PRESSINGS. I’m so exhausted, isn’t this hobby supposed to be fun :/?
I've spent damn near $2000 on buying coffee this past year. Finally did the wise thing and bought my first espresso machine so I could of course spend those yearly savings on more records. Anyone home espresso fanatics?
Also I started a thread in General for us to document our favorite KEXP, TinyDesk, and other live video performances. Head on over and share what’s been capturing you!
Will be interviewing my first podcast guest in over a year next weekend! Hoping to really make these interviews consistent this year and beyond, this is my life’s work and it’s waiting for me to take it seriously. Anyways, check out Adriana McCassim before hand, she’s incredible!
Are all Big Thief pressings crappy?
Won’t be able to make RSD this year unfortunately! Anyone willing to swipe me a Quiet Kenny if possible?
Officially 3/4 of the way to saving up for a pair of Wharfdale Lintons! At this rate I should have a pair by end of summer, can’t wait
Man, went to a local yesterday and spent $100. Got about 5 albums, all sealed from the factory, so far 3/5 are defective in some way but I don’t bring sealed records back to the record store cause it’s unfair to the store IMO. The rampant lack of QC in the vinyl world rn is making supporting physical stores very difficult. Seriously considering jumping to digital :/
Would anyone be interested in buying a Fluance RT85 at a discount? Thinking of selling my current walnut one to pick up their new wood finish which is far more fitting for my current interior design sensibilities. Not sure of the price, just gauging interest currently.
Just smoked some weed while listening to Angel Olsen's "My Woman" and wow this album just clicked. Love when that happens
This Dry Cleaning album is fucking awesome. Between this and Shame, post-punk is having quite the year so far
Couch shopping is far more maddening than I ever predicted
Man Shore is a hell of a fucking album. Robin Pecknold has got to be one of the most severely underrated songwriters of our generation. Every release since their Sun Giant EP has gotten leaps and bounds more complex and intricate while somehow becoming even more engaging and pertinent. Fleet Foxes will be regarded as one of the great bands of our time.
RIP X, spend some time watching this wholesome ass DMX moment
Anyone got an extra Massive Attack - Heligloland? or willing to part with a copy they don't give any attention?
Alice Phoebe Lou’s new album is diviiine. Go go go and enjoy yourself.
Anyone have any insight into how Sacred Bones label pressings typically are?
Is it possible that my turntable, cart, and pre-amp can outperform my speakers and thus cause certain recordings to sound harsh because my speakers aren't capable of delivering the information the rest of the set up is processing? If this sounds like I'm trying to convince myself to impulsively buy new speakers, thats because thats exactly what I'm doing.
What does it sound like when something is recorded "hot"? Still having an issue with my system, where vocals on older music i.e. VMP Otis Redding, VMP Billie Holiday and AS Sarah Vaughan all sound a bit sketchy in parts. Typically when a vocalist moves between vocal registers quickly, comes across harsh, sibilant, and a bit distorted. Anyone else experience this? -
