    Definitive Audiophile pressings

    I didn’t know any of that one way or another. I bought it for the novelty at a pretty good price (although more than $40). I sold the few other MMJs I owned bc I prefer 70s RVGs. The exceptions are harder to come by in that form — Parlan/Headin’ South; Drew-Undercurrent; and Brooks - Back to...

    I have 6 MMJs. The noisiest one - in fact the only one with any noise - is a tp of Somethin’ Else.

    The Blue Note Thread

    I don’t have this album so can’t comment specifically, but, if a decent chunk of people have a bunch of BNC/TPs that play with no problems, and along comes one that causes notable portion of them problems, then something is going on that’s materially different, independent of setup.

    Gotta warp, these members can help. [Vinyl Flat]

    If the record pi existed when i bought vinyl flat, I’d had have gone w record pi for reasons stated. But only for convenience, not bc of performance. The vinyl flat has been fantastic for me except in a couple isolated instances where the type of warp itself was the reason it didn’t solve the...

    Jazz

    I’m focused on finding deals on stuff (new and vintage stuff) that I think that, at worst, I could resell at no loss or something reasonable even if the market falls further than it has, which I think it will. Not bc I think the market will tank but bc it was unnaturally high post covid and...

    Jazz

    Sales: “Hey marketing team, we’re starting a jazz subscription service and are wondering if you have any great ideas to make jazz people seem more insufferable than many folks already think they are. Any ideas?!?!” Marketing: “Haha. Next time give us a real challenge. Just call it a “bespoke”...

    Jazz

    Broonzy lasted online for months but now is only available at a premium. I agree w others, Sun Ra will sell much faster and, while 100 Euros (or more) for a record is sky high, the precedent is set that these Artisan series releases eventually increase in value, so that will bring out buyers who...

    where did you see this? I follow on instagram but it's not there. Looks like it should be amazing

    Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

    I don't understand the cynicism about this meal service. It's clearly a way to motivate members who want to leverage and diversify use of the sleeve-opening knife as a meal utensil.

    Sutherland Club House

    Which model has black front in that ad? I didn't know Sutherland made anything not silver. And my system is committed to the uniform, all-black look so I've never looked at Sutherland.

    Pre-Order Thread

    The Conversation is in masterpiece territory. I’d seen it, but they made new 35mm prints a year or two ago and it was shown at a local theater. The scenes above Union Square were particularly good to see on big screen. Also, if you don’t already know backstory of Francis Ford Coppola’s...

    Pre-Order Thread

    Having also lived through the decade managing to survive despite several risky circumstances, including being subjected to grunge (still recovering), I guess, based on this epic and enjoyable rant, I should feel blessed to have never head of Empire Records until today — and i saw a shit-ton of...

    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    Would appreciate confirmation (or not) that I think I found a solution to this problem that avoids even theoretical problems w CD player and actually kills two birds with one stone bc I’m also recording vinyl from my turntable. I didn’t mention the tt yesterday bc the lone exception to my...

    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    Helpful to know, and that’s what I was worried about. Player is Technics SL-G700, and manual seems silent on this as far as I can tell. Unfortunately, I’d be shocked if I could get Panasonic to reply if I ask the question.

    Online Vinyl Deals

    Give me Unity cover art or give me death. I like some of these a lot but cannot believe Unity is not part of this series. I’d pay for that.

    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    I hope this question is ok here bc I didn’t see a thread dedicated to technical questions. What (if anything) would happen if I connected two sets of cables to the balanced and unbalanced lines out from my CD player? Currently, for regular listening, the CD player connects to integrated amp...

    The Dark Side; Digital audio equipment recommendations and setup.

    Not sure if you’re use-case is headphones, but, if so, since back to my wired headphones days, I’ve used one of these. It’s $20 and simple, so I’m sure there are better options, but it’s worked well for me. https://www.tempotec.net/products/sonata-hd-ii-only-pure-music-mode
