    i have noticed a hum but i was guessing thats from a non grounded preamp.. but if i touch the cartridge it feels like the hum is stronger

    what should i do with the secret 7inches that dont exist
    duke86fan
    I usually don't mind the warps on my record because they don't effect the playback of it, but is there any reason to be concerned about that stuff

    The table and tonearm will be fine (I assume, not knowing what you got). The cart/stylus/record will take the brunt of the abuse from warps.

    I am pretty sure I will be fine

    There aren't intense warps, no skipping, at mostly small ups and downs, I don't care as much about warps so I just will enjoy my music.. especially since grado stylie aren't expensive and I don't have the time to fix every record I have

    It’s the best policy. Just judge it case by case. You’ll get a feel for when it’s too much. You’d also be surprised how many of those slow-roll warps work themselves out after a few years of storage. If you start finding your stylus is lasting less than a year or the suspension collapsed, you might need to be more critical, but like you said - it’s a cheap fix if you get there.

    i'll be honest... i freaking HATE when audio is hard panned to one ear cup... it just feels uncomfortable to me

    sometimes i dont notice the remaster of an album at all


    other times its the weeknds trilogy (or is that a remix.. where i clearly know where the sound is different)

    question.. i know mofis are considered the best inner sleeves for 12 inches.. but what do you use for the couple 7inches and 10 inches i have. (and i know sleeve city is the easiest for outers)

    I only wondered about 7 and 10" because I see things like round bottom and stuff and it confuses me

    I like to have round bottom 12” around for tight sleeves. I find that’s not much an issue for 7/10 so that’s a matter of pref

    I don't even have more than like.. 15 7 inches and 2 10 inches... Do it's more because perfectionism and because I got gift spoiled

    tbh the only thing that wowed me about the blood incantation album is the intro on inner paths

    Keep in mind, you cannot use VMP credit on items discounted 30% off for the Black Friday sale.

    You will not be able to combine credit with a code (THANKFUL4VINYL2019) on the new site. From my understanding.
    duke86fan

    hope is dead.. i need a new subscription to help me find out what to listen to

    Hey Dukie, it's a glitch, the $46 is the price of a single one month membership. It's messing up and thinks adding a track means a full one month membership. I'm going to tell them tomorrow about it. It'll get fixed one way or another.
    duke86fan

    Wait one month is still a thing

    I thought they got rid of it

    Plus 46 dollars is more than just buying it from their store

    Yeah last week I logged out and tried to see what would happen if I bought a membership and it offered 1 month for 46, but that seems to be disabled now. Either way it's a mistake, it might also just be adding the price of 2 add on tracks together and getting 46.

    the death of the download code hurts

    @wynn72 as an IT person (network , not web) I will say that there is usually a test environment that you use to work the bugs out. When doing a switch there are always things that just happen even as much as you thought to test / stress test.

    Either this was a MASSIVE undertaking and they should’ve stuck with the old system until they could better tackle this OR it was just poor execution.
