What's /mu/ spinning?
I don't spin em. I just overpay for them and listen to Spotify with ads. It's real dumb.
Just played the 2nd LP from ELOs Out of the Blue. Did not realize that I do not have the 1st LP. Disappointing, but at least I've still got Mr. Blue Sky
>>60988545
Currently spinning Remain in Light. Might listen to some King Crimson or OK Computer later.
>>60988944
I've always wanted to know how Remain in Light sounds in vinyl
>>60989058
you mean like, while you're wearing vinyl? probably the same as otherwise.
How come in all these threads we only see people spinning cringy "Im 21 and go to college"-core and no BM?
>vinyl
enjoy your money sink plebs
>>60989219
Are you implying that black metal is not "I'm 21 and go to college-core"? I suppose in some cases it's "I'm 18 and about to apply for college"-core.
>>60988545
Just bought this new. am I fucked?
>>60991207
No. It's a nice turntable but prepare for everyone else to have the same thing as you.
Got the U-Turn Orbit a couple months back, loving it so far.
>>60989058
It sounds really good. Bass is really tight and pronounced.

Nothing right now cos everyone in the hosue but me is asleep.
Just listened to Earth - TBMHItLS and Bing Crosby + David Bowie's Little Drummer Boy
I need to replace my needle :(
>>60991607
nothing wrong with that . Technics are professional. Big name for djs
>have AT-LP60
>tfw everyone says it's going to destroy my records so I rarely play anything on it
>>60992084
never heard of that brand. whats wrong with it? have you tried playing it?
>>60988545

Spinning pic related on my Music Hall MMF-5. Love this turntable, sounds so fucking cash.

>>60992162
It's the entry-level Audio Technica. It works fine, but it doesn't have an adjustable counterweight and I'm not sure if I'm being memed on or not when people say it's going to destroy my vinyl.
>>60992077
Audio Technica =/= Technics
>>60992192
backup TT
>Dual 1019, thanks dad
This is a combination of recent purchases and what I've been listening to lately
Just came in
>>60992216
I read it wrong
>>60992432
>meddle
Nice
>>60992432
And this is my Realistic lab-400 that I've been fairly happy with. Sounds great but it has a slight delay from when the needle lands on the record too when I get audio, so I miss about the first second of each record. Not sure how to fix this
>>60992546
Nice TT, looks really sharp. You could always ask over on the audio karma forums, someone there should know. They helped me service my Dual 1019.
>>60992546
beautiful
>>60992432
What is the LP on the top right? That album cover looks intriguing.
>>60993034
Darth Vader sings the hits
Just got this gem
I need to do some laundry
>>60993094
I'm liking that table, where did you get it?
>>60993094
cool deltabot
if i've got an lp120 what should i set the counterweight to?
>>60993172
It's actually just an Expedit with a shelf from Home Depot placed on top so I could fit the receiver and turntable on it.
>>60993186
It's actually a Rostock MAX v2 that I built over the summer. It's kinda cool, but I haven't had much success printing in PLA and my bigger prints in ABS always come out with cracks
>>60993094
what do you have in your collection?
>>60992650
I really love it, and thanks, I'll be sure to go there
>>60993034
Argus by Wishbone Ash
>>60993055
It really looks like Darth Vader, though
>>60993245
A mix of new stuff that I bought in the first year or two and some more obscure or used stuff that I've been buying lately because it's usually cheaper or more interesting
What's spinning right now is Ongaku 80, a compilation of experimental music from Japan
I might pick out some records to sell, because there are a bunch that I'm just not into anymore (I don't know what possessed me to buy that Childish Gambino album, I think I just liked the packaging)
>>60992460
fuck, I'm still waiting for my copy
>>60993230
Thanks man, I see it's been replaced by the Kallax now. I need one now. Guess I have a reason to go to ikea.
>>60993392
If you get lucky they still might have Expedits in stock, but I guess it's been a while. I picked mine up after they had switched the Kallax and I still found an Expedit
I bought my U-Turn turntable about two years ago, replacing a shitty Ion USB turntable I had. I replaced the AT91 after a year of use with a AT95E. I fear my 95E is starting to wear so I want to replace it.
What is the best stylus replacement for the U Turn turntable? Will I need professional help calibrating the tracking force, or can I do it myself?
Pic isn't mine, but very similar.
>>60993424
Do you know what the differences are?
>>60993317
good luck selling it. I don't think vinyls go up that much to get money. You might as well give it away desu
>>60993464
There's a vinyl club at my college so I might just suggest we do like a record swap where people can bring things they aren't too interested in and swap/buy them.
Or I'll just bring them to the record store I frequent and just spent the money I get there. I'd rather have a few records I do enjoy than a bunch that I'll never listen to again
>>60993453
What cartridge did it come with? Audio technica? Are you looking to upgrade it? I really like the Shure M97xE that I put on my Dual 1019. its easy to swap out and setup the tone arm.
>>60993504
What do you have to sell? I might be interested.
>>60993464
Depends on the release, completely.
I bought the Australian version of Tame Impala's Currents this year, 70 bucks including shipping to the States. I didn't end up liking the album very much, so I turned around and sold it for 300 bucks. Certain records are almost guaranteed to go up in value once they sell out.
That's one example, but there's been other great sells. My next purchase that I feel is 'guaranteed' to go up in value is the Giles Corey that the Flenser put up for preorder a while ago.
>>60993573
Forgot to add the Goldring 1020gx, it sounds fantastic.
>>60993453
Get the Shure tracking force gauge, it's simple and a good tool to have.
>>60993504
I don't go to college. I don't know anyone who buys records unfortunately . Do you have a last.fm? I want you to send me some recommendation on vinyl or music
>>60993573
it came with a AT91B cartridge, but that was replaced after a year of use. Are these cartridges (the ones you are suggesting) heavier than AT? If so, how do I go about re calibrating the tracking force?
>>60993590
from experience. I try to sell my collection. not vinyls.
>>60993662
thanks man!
>>60993573
This is a great cart. Fantastic all around with really good bass reproduction. Needle doctor has it on sale for $89 (from $160 on Amazon)
>>60993611
Holy balls, that Goldring goes for $550 now. Glad it came stock on my MMF-5.
For the money you can't go wrong with the M97xE.
>>60993590
I don't even know what I'd be selling, and I don't think I'd want to go through the trouble of selling them over the internet
>>60993665
Honestly my favorite way to find new music on vinyl is to just purchase cheap records that look interesting. My record store sells a lot of records which are cheap enough to buy without having heard of them before. If something catches your eye, you can look up info on it on Discogs (I'd stay away from looking at actual reviews) and see if it's something you'd like to listen to. I've found some great stuff that way
>>60993682
It's probably around the same weight, also has the dust brush on it that can be used or moved up if you don't want to use it. The Shure tracking gauge that anon mentioned is what I use also.
>>60993845
Selling on the internet isn't too difficult or risky thanks to Paypal, but hey, it's your life.

Got these last week. Atomizer reissue sound so good damn.
>>60992042
Love that Earth album. Didn't know it got reissued so I missed out.
Reposting my recent boughts
>>60993888
Oh I mean I wasn't worried about being scammed, I just don't want to go through the trouble of getting mailers and shit and actually mailing the records
>>60993912
i can only imagine that everyone on /mu/ that owns vinyl has a copy of ITAOTS. can anyone prove me wrong?
>>60993912
I need to get me a neutral milk hotel or else i'm a pleb. but i'm kidding. but for real i really need me a in the airplane over the sea. I really love that album
>>60991607
>muh special snowflake
>>60993845
>cheap records
I do this also, the local St vinnys thrift shops sell them for 50 cents so I pick up random stuff because it's so cheap and the inventory cycles pretty well. Best score was DSoTM, the wall, meddle and animals for $2 in good shape.
>>60993845
thanks for the tip
>>60993955
I own vinyl and a copy of ITAOTS.
>>60993955
Because I have bought On Avery Island LP first and I want to complete the full-length collection.
Up next, Ferris Wheel on Fire
I still unironically enjoy ITAOTS t b h
>>60993955
ITAOTS is one of the best sellers in the vinyl revival.
Just played Pale Horse by mewithoutYou.
Now spinning Instant Gratification by Dance Gavin Dance.
>>60993878
thanks for the help man! Looks like I might get that then!
>>60993955
it is a /mu/ essential. Though I am only partial to the album, I bought it when I first started to collect vinyl again. There are people outside of /mu/ who like it, so friends and I like to sing along to this album a lot
>>60994139
No problem! You won't believe how good it sounds over the AT, best cart under $300.
>>60993955
I don't own...yet. It's a must have if you're a music or a /mu/ fan. But it is a good album
I just picked up a NM condition copy of The Cure - Faith, which I am pretty happy about
It's a nostalgic album from my goth phase in high school
>>60993895
nice atomizer, i have yet to get songs about fucking in my collection
>>60993955
not only is it /mu/core it's just entry level hipster-core in general, so anyone who owns a crosley will likely own ITAOTS as well
>>60993955
i do not own this record
has anyone copped IDLS:IDGO on vinyl yet?

it's good knowing they've reissued it. ive been looking for it for awhile now
here's a bad pic of what i'm currently listening to ...which is the unwound - empire box set through numero group. it's the first release i've picked up from them but certainly not the last. real quality stuff here
>>60995056
How do you like the 5?
>>60995604
I love it, sounds amazing. Had it for a few years now and it's been flawless.
>>60995414
maybe, I am using the phono input on my old pioneer reciever from the early 90s.
>tfw you forgot you got OK Computer on 180 gram for Xmas years ago and never opened it. Putting it on now.
>>60995834
I used my phono input on my early 2000s Onkyo receiver and it sounded crappy. Upgraded to the NAD PP1 phono preamp and the difference is amazing. You can find them on eBay for $80, or the newer PP2e for $170 on Amazon.
>>60993074
Don't you mean this JAM?
Purchased Frampton Comes Alive! recently so I've been listening to that quite a bit. Also same story with The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust.
I listen to Lonesome Crowded West and Doolittle at least once a week. The Doolittle I have includes demos and b-sides it's pretty great.
>>60993955
ITAOTS is Target-core now.
>>60996663
That bart stand up is sick. Where did you get it?
>>60995056
That glass platter is sick, too bad they didn't use it on the 5.1. It looks so nice.
Hey guys, I've had the same set up for a while, what would you guys suggest I should upgrade next? Not sure when that would be, but I'd probably be spending up to $1000
My current setup
Pro-Ject Debut III
Onkyo TX-8020
Pioneer SP-BS22-LR speakers
>>60997389
How do you like the pro-ject? As I said previously, I can't recommend the NAD PP1 or PP2 phono preamp enough. It shits all over the built in ones in receivers. Looking to upgrade the turntable? You've got a nice setup going there.
>>60997719
I really like it, no frills and it sounds great. I might pick up a Q Up for the convenience.
I think maybe I should replace the speakers for some nicer ones, they're probably the lowest end of my build.
With the preamp, it would go Turntable > Preamp > Stereo > Speakers, correct? How noticeable do you the difference would be?
>>60997764
Yup, turntable to preamp to aux in on the receiver. The clarity and bass reproduction is amazing. I was shocked at the difference. I'm running an Onkyo tx8211 and Athena audition as-f2 speakers they are fantastic. Unfortunately they aren't made anymore. Energy speakers are amazing and are the same company.
What about a cart upgrade on the project? What is it running now?
>>60997389
>Pioneer SP-BS22-LR speakers
If your still going with book shelf speakers I reccomend audio engine A5's best speakers under $500 imo
>>60997912
I'll definitely check those preamps that you recommended out, then
Yeah, a cartridge upgrade is definitely something I should look into, mine is still using the stock Ortofon OM5e.
>>60997988
I would upgrade the cart, the project is A real nice turntable. I think my mmf-5 uses the same tone arm. Goldring carts are nice but pricey, I'm running a 1020 gx, they go for $550 on Needle Doctor.
>my current rig plus the mmf-5 posted above
>>60995056
What did this bad boy set you back?
>>60998108
I paid $550 for it new at a local stereo shop as they were going out of business.
>>60998079
What kind of EQ is that?
>>60996479
>>60998228
Audio Source EQ-100.
>>60998383
Thanks, I might need to find one like this. I like the look of it, so 80s.
>>60993912
Yooooo Megasus.

I don't. For some reason my dad does though.
slightly less cluttered now since I removed the htpc

Sung Tongs atm because it's the only vinyl I have.
Also playing it on pic related because it was a gift from my mother.
Not sinning anything at the moment but probably going to play something later, maybe some Sabbath

i got ITAOTS on CD after I found out about it (main character in Will Grayson, Will Grayson is a hipster and the book starts with him going to what he thinks will be a NMH reunion show) but before I knew it's meme status, still think it's fantastic. showed it to a girl I was seeing at the time and she thought the same
>>60992460
What album is this?

Gotta make do with what you've got. Ebays good n all, I've had a pretty dismal strike rate with Amazon and warped records from travel I assume.

>>60989219
Fuck off
Glanced over to check the last thing I was playing
my most recent purchase
>>61001493
>>61001556
music farmers has a brick and mortar store in my home town of wollongong; i think it's the only record store left in the city.
i tend to pop into music farmers, or if it's something a bit more obscure i'll look at discogs (some european sellers only charge like 5-7 euro for shipping) or that importcds-au seller on ebay
Here's my new purchase.
I accidentally put this banana on a white piece of paper and then did this, sry.
I actually did buy it a couple of weeks ago.
>>61002597

>>61002597
That banana looks pretty fresh for being a couple of weeks old, where did you store it?
>>61002597

Picked these up on a trip to Japan recently, was walking through Sancha and saw this really tiny antique store that had this box marked "100 yen". Paid like AU$20.00 in total, bought most of them. Judging by the years they all came from the same person, and thankfully there's only a few duds. The rest are pure g o l d.

thanks mane
can rec that Cee Jay 12", very good very cheesy lots of FM synthesis
>>60992546
I would be confident it's your amplifier. you probably have a digital one.
Why don't you just queue the record a bit further away so it doesn't start right away?
>>60992042
How long did it take to build up such a sick little space?
>>60992084
>>60992213
It wont destroy your vinyl m8, it's a good entry level turntable. You're going to want to upgrade at some point but you're fine, seriously. I had one and it didnt do me any harm

Opinions?
>>61011922
Reviews are good, and you can swap out the cart, which is nice. At $66 on Amazon it seems to be a deal. Certainly better than any Crosley piece of shit.
>>60998721
I am moderately envious.
I loved the monitor audio's I demo'd.
i bought an old turntable for $25 but it doesnt play records all the way through, it'll just start looping in the middle of the last song, why is this happening/how do i fix it?
>>61012024
That's the same way I feel, just seems almost too good for the price. I'll have to do more research I guess.
>>60997920
>imo
and your opinion or fucking wrong. just because you have them doesn't mean they are worth shit. they drivers are undersized, amp has massive amount of floor noise and the ports are on the back of the speakers and chuff like crazy.
you are a complete moron and should keep that shit in mind before you suggest a fucking thing
>am I still retarded?
yes
>better not be giving any advice then
>>61012263
I just ordered one for my daughter, to get rid of the Crosley POS she has now. It should work nicely with the 1990s denon receiver and infinity reference bookshelf speakers we picked up at goodwill. The adjustable tone arm and possibility to swap the cart seems good to me. For $66 it seems like a steal.
>>61012252
I'm guessing the tracking force is off, what TT is it?
>>60988545
You need to spin that vinyl in your pic, OP.
>>61007444

Just came in the mail yesterday
This album is incredible.
Picked up at work today. There was no mention on our stockcount system that we were getting it in but lo and behold it appeared on the shelves today
>>61011922
Looks like it comes with a decent audio technica AT95e cartridge as shown on the pics on Amazon, which is worth $50 alone.
>>61012658
garrard synchro lab
>>61008250
that's an awesome cover
never seen this
>>61012658
>>61013745
also when the arm is up i can push it over to how far it would need to go to play the whole record through but there's a spring-loaded resistance once you start pushing past the point that it'll start looping at, if that helps you diagnose my issue at all
>>61013745
Does the tone arm move freely when moved toward the center of the record when up? It doesn't bind or anything?
>>61013865
That's odd, sounds like a mechanical issue, is it automatic?
>>61013901
yeah it moves fine until what i described here >>61013865 starts happening
>>61013975
it has a switch with off, manual, and automatic in that order, but the switch doesn't seem to be able to stop on automatic, like there's an audible and obvious click going from off to manual but if you push it over to automatic it doesn't click into place and just goes back to manual and the arm doesn't move on its own or anything even if you do hold the switch on automatic
>>61014124
I'm guessing some of the grease is dried up and stuck, you could check the service manual for maintenance. It this the turntable?
