    Definitive Audiophile pressings

    I canceled my preorder of Bitches Brew because I was planning on flipping it down the road for a nice profit, but now, I doubt that it will be worth much. It’ll probably sound great, but I won’t spend that kind of money on a record for myself. Luckily, I sold the few MoFi records I had over the...

    Wilco (The Thread)

    You nailed it with your review. And if ”country” wasn’t in the title, I would barely have noticed the “country“ sound. Totally fine album, but just kind of meanders along.

    Really digging the new album.

    Vinyl Me Please Anthology

    Except for “Always on my Mind” (which is truly terrible), those are all solid Willie albums - better overall quality than the VMP box.

    Recently got a Rega Aria phono amp, and it’s outstanding

    I already have a Rega Elex-r amp with a built in phono, and I owned the Rega Fono MM (the second version for years, and the third for a short time), and the Aria blows all of them away. I got a used mk1 for a great price,and so glad I did. I’ve read comments where people say that the MM portion...

    Let's See What Makes Your Vinyl Spin!

    No way I’d watch a 35 minute video of the building of a turntable . . . And then I watched the entire thing - mesmerizing- serious artisan stuff. Thanks for sharing

    Fresh Grabs

    Super fresh (Juana Molina’s “Segundo”) - delivered about 15 minutes ago - been wanting this on vinyl for years, but not willing to spend crazy money. Only listened to first side so far, and other than a little crackling in the lead in grooves, it sounds really good. Detailed and punchy, with...

    Pre-Order Thread

    I’m supposed to be getting mine today - got it off discogs, and I’m assuming they got it from Europe, as it’s not supposed to be out here until late this month. I couldn’t risk not getting one, and only paid a few dollars more.

    Willie Nelson’s Spirit to be repressed

    I preordered mine through Deepdiscount.com at a pretty resonable price - not sure if still in stock.

    Much better than the 2017 version. Very solid pressing.

    Willie Nelson’s Spirit to be repressed

    For any Willie fans out there, the new vinyl is definitely worth getting. Much better than the 2017 colored vinyl. Not dead quiet, but any imperfections are barely noticeable, and the music sounds really good. Totally solid pressing of this amazing album.

    Willie Nelson’s Spirit to be repressed

    The 2017 was pretty noisy, and cut off center badly. I mean my cartridge looked like is was dancing to samba music while playing. Fingers crossed this one is free of those defects, as it is a great album.

    Willie Nelson’s Spirit to be repressed

    Let’s hope it’s better than the 2017 RSD version, as that was less than stellar. Anyone know any pressing info for the upcoming release?

    Welcome - Introduce Yourself Here

    Do you know if the radio station WJIB Radio 740 still exists - I was in Boston about ten years ago, and that station was tuned in on the radio at the Airbnb we were staying in, and we never touched the dial. Super random playlist, but it somehow worked.

    Vinyl Me Please Country

    A little off topic, but if you haven’t seen Sturgill live, I highly recommend it. I got a last minute ticket for cheap, and really didn’t know what to expect (this was a couple of years ago at a good concert hall in Portland), and my jaw was on the floor throughout. I had no idea he rocked out...

    Scored for less than $10 (including shipping) - sometimes you get lucky on Ebay - and it's pristine

    Vinyl Me Please Country

    That’s the same track that I get a short “swooshing” sound for a couple of seconds, and there is some very faint surface noise throughout the track. Sounds similar to what you are describing, but I’m pretty sure I can live with it, as the rest is almost dead quiet, and sounds great.
