On the hunt for a Durand s/t, first and foremost, after learning about Black Pumas. Orgone next then down the rabbit hole. Happy this subforum exists!

I found this album in a collection I bought a few years back. The lineup is a who’s who of the late 60s. Great spin.

Last spin of the night, Moses Sumney - Aromanticism

Where to start? Top 3 favorite releases maybe?

Taj Mahal - Taj Mahal

Digging this sound a lot.

Already done. Just sharing my lament with folks who’d get it 🙃

Pretty bummed, never looked at my records that came in during the 3 month window I spent waiting for my new table to arrive. Just went to play Blossom Dearie and saw that the label was stuck off center on one side, going pretty deep into the runout grooves, but not quite into the important...

@ghostdorado - drop me a PM if you're interested in chatting more, happy to help as I'm a firm believer in vintage setups. A few options for some reputable restorers are Vinyl Nirvana (very happy customer here) and FixMyDual.com (don't be alarmed by the Geocities type site, his work gets rave...

True story @HiFi Guy - they just do everything solidly, especially jazz. Glad to see there are some other believers in here. Sound-wise, they're superb, and the Shure really gave them a lot more room to work with.

Shure V15 type iii (rebuilt) > Thorens TD-147 (Vinyl Nirvana restoration) > Sansui 5000a > Dynaco A25's Close up of the Shure (playing Moonchild's Please Rewind)

@SherlockOhms - very curious about this Tandberg badge on a Thorens deck?

I guess this is the thread for me. We are everywhere! Picked up the first 5 studio albums on wax in the boxset when I got my first turntable, really lovely pressings. Found a very clean original pressing of Europe 72 shortly after. Just picked up a collection that had some new copies of...

My turntable is returning from the Thorens master, Dave @ Vinyl Nirvana, tomorrow after a 4 month hiatus from records. I have a hilarious amount of current and former ROTMs, and another 25 or so albums, that I've picked up since late January to play: Main Source - Breaking Atoms J Dilla -...
