Return accepted so it’s going back and I don’t have to deal with the headache. Side note, I really liked the turntable outside it being broken. Everything seemed so much nicer compared to my LP120. Any turntables I should be considering in that $500-1000 that would rival or perhaps better the...

I really wouldn’t have thought of buying off eBay used but it was $450 and all the pics showed the TT in good condition so I jumped on it. Pretty sure it was a pawn or thrift shop sell. Retails for around $1k so if I can come out ahead getting even what they would consider “factory refurbished”...

Hoping someone can help! Just purchased a used Technics SL-100C off eBay and unfortunately the seller did not pack it correctly. Basically just threw TT in a box without locking the tonearm or removing the platter. Anyway, I opened it up and the center spindle is completely sheared off...

Not sure if someone posted this yet or not, looks awesome! Even the Forest Hums: Ukrainian Sonic Archives 1971-1996

Seriously. They have to have super high quality digital copies of those mono tapes. Just give another reissue of those to people that missed them the first time around. They’re really the definitive versions up until The White Album.

Revolver sounds great but it was literally the only one I ever had trouble getting a clean copy of. Took me three copies. I’m still kicking myself that I never picked up Magical Mystery Tour (already have a clean US OG mono). It went OOP shortly after I bought all the other monos I needed and...

Welp I actually ended up snagging the MA’s off of audiogon. Got them actually a decent amount less than what the seller was even asking but it was a price I felt comfortable gambling on these. Needless to say, I set them up today and they are glorious so far. I honestly have no idea what sort of...

I’d imagine that 2016 copy is sufficient (AAA too?) though I’ve never heard it. US originals sound amazing though. I have a solid copy that I’ve had in my collection for a long time. I think it was actually my first Neil Young record I ever purchased. I don’t think it should be too expensive to...

I have an OG of MM and it sounds quite good for how much music is on it. Really needs a reissue like VMP gave to Low End Theory.

Agh shit man I’m sorry to hear you’re going through that. Hope you’re doing alright, you’ll get through it.

Haha! Like I said, I’m really surprised she didn’t like the look since they have that vintage cool look that she generally likes! I still want a pair at some point though. If I ever build a second system in my basement, those would be high on the list. They’re also rear ported which could prove...

Looking for some speaker recs! I’m looking to finally buy some decent speakers after having some old budget Polk Audio R30 speakers that my dad gave me. I’m currently running the Yamaha A-S801. Room is ~25’x13’ with 8’ ceilings (popcorn ceiling! :LOL:). I listen to music nearly all day while I...

Figured something like this would be on here! Just got my MM5A (eBay model) from Keith and wow is it great. I’m playing a LP120 with the preamp removed to the MM5A through a Yamaha A-S801. AT-VM540ML cart. The MM5A stomps the internal phono preamp that comes with the A-S801. It’s not horrible...

The mono mix is fun. Not sure I’d say it’s better or worse than the original mix. The original mix has that vintage wide stereo separation that they were influenced by with the 60’s girl groups and the Beatles. The mono mix is sheer power and probably more representative of how they sounded live.

I will say, his work with tape research and remastering 50’s artists for MCA, specifically Buddy Holly and Bill Haley, are absolutely fantastic. Best I’ve heard those songs. https://www.discogs.com/release/7152641-Bill-Haley-And-His-Comets-The-Original-Masters...

Yeah that Vanguard box is a steal at $80. All the records are phenomenal. I might have to bust that one out again soon.

Yeah looks like the rights to the catalog expired for AP. Agreed wish I bought all of them really. I do have Pet Sounds mono and stereo and smiley smile stereo and they’re awesome!

I really wish I picked up Today. OOP

Super random, but the US original The Muppet Show album sounds absolutely awesome. My kids are currently obsessed with it, which is absolutely fine with me.
