Former Warped Tour attendee here. 2002 - 2007. I discovered a lot of great punk bands during that period including NoFX and Bad Religion plus a lot of pop punk bands like the Early November and the Matches. $39.50 CDN for a whole day of punk shows! One of the best pop punk concerts I ever...

Totally! I picked up the Soft Effects EP reissue the other day. That should be it for a while. Do you know if the Slay on Cue remasters are much different? Spoon records already sound great with no need for remastering IMHO, with the exception of TWMS and Hot Thoughts, which is more due to...

We need colours!! I assume: Blue > Green > White > Red > Black > Teal ?

I'm not too familiar with the live albums but I generally agree with your ranking. Although I'd probably swap Fungus with Make Yourself!

Grizzly Bear: Veckatimest > Yellow House > Shields > Painted Ruins > Horn of Plenty

Interesting! Mine would be Modern Vampires > Vampire Weekend > Contra > Father of the Bride. Father of the Bride has never clicked for me; not sure what I'm missing. Modern Vampires is their undisputed masterpiece IMHO.

How often should this be done? Does it vary by manufacturer too?

Good to know, thanks @HiFi Guy !

Anyone have recommendations for a lubricant for the bearings on my Project Debut III? I have a speed box and replaced the belt but I’m still experiencing slight speed variations. I’ve never used lubricant before so I’m assuming that is the issue. Amazon Canada has Project’s own oil (Lube It)...

So is Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (#11 and #378). Any other duplicates? Maybe we can make room for a few other albums that barely didn’t make it :) Edit: Grammar.

My Spoon collection: I'm missing some EPs and pretty much all the singles, but I have all the full lengths. All originals except Series of Sneaks, Girls Can Tell, Love Ways EP, and Kill the Moonlight. One copy of Gimme Fiction is the 10th anniversary reissue remastered with bonus LP. Next on...

Just got the OM20 stylus and Acryl-It platter over the weekend. System is sounding great - the OM20 sounds better than the turntableneedles Shibata I think. New Pro-Ject belt is on its way. Next up: new integrated amp and phono pre; likely the NAD316 and Musical Fidelity LX2-LPS once I have...

Cue the “get a new wife” jokes.

Great, thanks for all the advice guys. Change of plans though: before I get a new integrated amp and/or phono stage, I’ll have to get a new stylus for my Ortofon OM cartridge because my wife accidentally bent the stylus the other day. Any advice on a stylus? I had an aftermarket shibata from...

Thanks for the advice! I agree with you on vintage gear. I see the NAD doesn't have a phono stage so maybe I'll look into a new phono stage first while looking for a used 326BEE. Is there much difference between V1 and V2?

Right?? I love the look of my Sansui when listening to music in the dark. Looks good next to my Nakamichi LX-3 tape deck too.

Nice, thanks for the input guys! A shop in town has the LX2-LPS for $399 CAD (about $289 USD) which puts it close to same price as the Vincent ($249 at Audio Advisor) and Studiophono ($299 at Music Direct). Also, if I were to pick up the LX2-LPS, I'd be saving on shipping, possibly duty, and...

Thanks for the replies! No real sentimental value but the Sansui has done me well over the years. I purchased it from a Hi-Fi shop specializing in vintage gear back in 2012 and I think they serviced it prior to sale. I'm not sure if they replaced the capacitors or not. One of the channels...

Hello, I currently have a Debut III with a Speed Box S. I upgraded my OM5e cartridge with a Shibata stylus, as per @HiFi Guy 's recommendation on the VMP Forum in 2017. My receiver is a Sansui 661 and I have Energy CF-50s for speakers. The Energy CF-50 speakers have been discontinued and are...
