    @duke86fan I've seen his posts, its v gross and tbh I'm not quite sure how Beiber has stuck around so long... he just gives me really skeevy vibes I can't shake. And this recent chart stuff is so desperate and embarrassing... it's just one big yikes

    5 bucks it was scooter braun who was asking for this... because he doesn't wanna lose money... the dj khaled school of promotion is going to be useful here

    And yet remember what happened last time Khaled tried his usual marketing ststrategies? He got crushed by Tyler, whose album had no big single attached to it (at least upon release) and was announced pretty much out of the blue. The times they are a changin
    i think part of my alleged "only can hear 12 khz" thought was because i was testing with sine waves.. using saw waves or squarewaves i hear 20K perfectly
    Spin clean cloths get soaked way too easy as it only does our 25 LPs

    I think it's pretty inexpensive to buy additional cloths if you're cleaning that many records at a time.

    What I did was buy an extra set and kept rotating them when drying. Any cloth you use is only going to go so long. I had four, and would dry one album and put that towel at the "end of the line", and then use the next, giving each time to dry a little before being used again. That being said, even rotating four towels will eventually get to a point where they've absorbed too much and need to be washed.

    Microfiber towels are cheap and work pretty well too, if you’re looking to bulk up stock.
    Mofi did a train record WTF

    Who likes train
    do you need mono cartridges for mono records (specifically thinking because job soon makes me think "should i buy analogue productions mono pet sounds" despite owning pet sounds already on single LP)

    tbh i dont even know if my capital reissue is that bad.. its mostly just the feeling of getting the best of the best

    My mono is a capital repress and it’s quite good tbh, I don’t really have much interest in getting an audiophile one right now!

    maybe i mostly want the AP pressing because i wanted a taste of that sweet sweet audiophile perfection... and no other audiophile label things beyond some mofi and speakers corner (maybe ornette coleman ORG but i dunno) really clicked with me
    The one thing I'm not liking about the mofi sieves is the texture, they feel too thin (unlike the clear bag of my vmp pinkerton) and they easily get bunched up.. but I hear they are best for preservation

    Inner btw

    I like the thickness of paper and plastic.. like that touching it feels like there is a bit of friction.. that it feels thick and protective

    Go for @AnthonyI's suggestion or just the Diskeeper Audiophiles. I use the latter and MoFis and the Diskeeper Audiophiles are similar quality to the MoFis with considerably thicker paper in them. Ultimate audiophile is even more heavy duty with paper on the outside on both sides but I don't feel the need for the extra cost.

    Just don’t spend all that time spin cleaning and then stick em back in a paper only sleeve. I prefer the poly sleeves especially with colored wax as I feel like it presents better. Plus thicker isn’t necessarily better it all adds up. The more records you have the thicker the packaging means less shelf space.

    It’s a great album! I already have everything on the VMP version or I’d happily pick it up.

    I was out. Then this...agh I think I'm back in one month more. I love this album so much. I do already own it, but their version has the b-sides and live versions, and that has me hooked in.
    i either got a bad spin clean, am doing something wrong thats leaving the rollers rubber locking up the record... or i just dont like it

    Gotta keep both hands steady while spinning simultaneously

    my hands aren't steady you can see the record cleaning thread for the issue
    It's still weird that Justin Bieber goes on a little tangent about not being political on his bad guy remix
    My mom accidentally made me OCD about record or sleeves by giving me mofi.. all others don't feel as thicc and I dunno if I should spend the extra money

    because I need about 150 more to finish (I will buy standards box set boxes for my duster box set and Thom Yorke anima deluxe, was well as a single bundle and thing for 7inches and 10 inch)

    I've never felt the need for anything nicer than the ultimate 2.5 (except when the gatefolds are too thick to fit in). What do you like better about the mofis?
    Those calling Gz so horrible haven't faced the pain of United

    I mean for every Pallas and record industry we need a Gz.. same with us, for every RTI we need a United.. if only we had more mid tier plants like say optimal too do bulk duty
    I got a spin clean, mofi outers (my mom meant to get inners), and the spiderman into the spiderverse OST

    NOTE: the spiderverse OST is a picture disc (she bought it for me from target.. she said she wanted to get one with the full cover but i told her it was fine... though picture discs aren't great sounding its still awesome to have the soundtrack to one of my favorite movies)
