Why does your girlfriend look like this, Montie? Also, is the AT LP-120 a good turntable?
>>61814565
My gf is very pretty IMO.
Better than a hand that 4 sure.
It's a good starting turntable. Don't buy anything else.
>>61814565
LP 120 is probably the best starting turntable if you're not going to thrift stores or something to buy a used vintage table
>>61814533
nice Oldfield there
though Ommadawn is the best thing in his discography
>>61814601
>Better than a hand that 4 sure.
That's not much of a compliment, Montie. Why do your girlfriend's teeth look so weird?
>>61814650
she looks like ryan gosling
"better than a hand"
>>61814650
Her teeth look like that because she's so small and her familey can't afford braces. Her teeth used to be normal until her larger teeth came in.
She's looking into payment plans now about it.
I really think its a shitty situation and she's very insecure about it.
>>61814733
Does she know that people are posting her face on /mu/? Maybe you should drop your trip so that people stop doing it.
And that girl doesn't look small to me. You should tell her to cut down on the burgers.
Last night my left channel started buzzing. I thought the problem was with the RCA adapter, so I soldered a new one to the cable, but it's still buzzing. It's apparently something inside the turntable itself, which I don't want to sped the time fixing, so I ordered an LP120 to replace it last night.
This record player lasted way longer than I thought it would (got it from a flea market for ~30 and it's laster 5 years) so it's okay. Just means I can't listen to records until Tuesday.
>>61814894
She's not involved in this, so I don't get why people are even doing it.
She's 4,9 and weighs about 100 pounds
Did someone say Brit?
>>61814650
>teeth
nice tits tho
>>61815033
100 pounds is pretty fat for a girl who's literally midget height.
>>61815033
I mean I'm not a person who saves pics of her and posts them, but it's at the very least partially your fault that she's getting posted on this board.
It's your fault for tripping and releasing your personal info like a retard, not that I'm condoning the invasion of privacy that resulted in those pics.
Stop tripping though for real though. All this stuff will surely stop and people will leave you alone. This is long past the peak of "trip culture", so anyone who still has one is seen as a huge joke.
My original press of Dark side of the Moon sounds so bad
>>61815186
>It's your fault for tripping and releasing your personal info like a retard
not him, but fuck off, this isn't /b/
>>61815317
Put your trip back on.
>>61815317
I wasn't saying that other people should or weren't responsible for violating his privacy.
Just that the fact that he's given out his personal info through sheer stupidity is his own fault in a way, and he enabled these people to dig around on his facebook and find his girlfriend.
HE LITERALLY JUST SAID HE DIDN'T LIKE PRIMUS AND WAS ANNOYING ABOUT IT I'M SO FUCKING SICK OF SEEING HIM AND PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HIM
After a while of not using it, I was listening to something on my LP-120 and then suddenly the tray started to just stop spinning on its own.
What gives, /mu/?
>most recent cop
>TFW couldn't afford the 50 euro shipping costs for Giles Corey - S/T and the Flenser are a bunch of non-communicative dickweeds.
>>61815427
the pressing actually wasn't that great, surprisingly. I got the red one. THe sound quality isn't great, but idk the liner notes proudly states "recorded in bedrooms across Connecticut".
>>61815186
Except I never posted my personal info. That was someone else.
Managed to cop a Linn Sondek LP12 with a Ittok tonearm in great condition (no cartridge) for $500. What's a good high end cartridge to get? Are moving coil cartridges worth it? Considering getting a AT33EV.
>>61815503
You made it extremely easy to find through your attention whoring.
>>61815332
kill yourself, dipshit
>>61815374
why should he expect a bunch of retards to snoop through his shit and post pictures of his girlfriend on fucking /mu/ of all places? Time to grow up, buddy

I'll post the same thing I posted last night as well, then
>>61815427
>the Flenser are a bunch of non-communicative dickweeds
Seriously, I finally emailed them about my boxset since it still hasn't shipped, and they haven't responded. They said that 98% of preorders had shipped like 2 weeks ago. At least tell me what's up with mine?
>>61815561
post your own teeth
>>61815625
Their Facebook even says they 'typically respond in a few hours' which is bullshit. I've e-mailed them and contacted them several times on Facebook but they still haven't replied. It even said they read my message but they still don't say anything.
>>61815449
It sucks less then. I'll just spend my money on different records or whatever. Done with those guys.
Hey /moo/ its been a while
part 1 of recent cops
part 2
>>61815765
The funny thing is I've ordered from them two other times, once a few months ago and the other I placed right after I ordered the Giles box, and both times the packages arrived about a week after I ordered. I dunno what's going on this time, but i'm getting really impatient. More than anything I wanna read the book
>>61815561

Tips for buying used/what to look out for?
>>61817481
Nice. I've got a Japanese pressing of ITCOTCK
>>61817482
Mostly boils down to knowing which records are rare and which records aren't. Always price-check before buying. And if it is second hand always ask to inspect. If a record looks different from what you expected it to look like it sometimes is worth a lot more, but it requires a trained eye. Try buying from people who buy in bulk and just slap the same price on every record so you can bargain and get good prices.
>>61817481
I'm actually really jealous

Had to discogs import them but worth the price.
>>61818702
only thing I ever had to buy from discogs
paid $50 for a single, but no regrets here
Would really love to identify these speakers, they're probably old Emerson's, ad they were with an emerson amp when I picked them up, but they have no markings anywhere on them.
>>61814533
Got this recently, decided to break the seal last night and play it. Best sounding album on vinyl I've ever heard.
>>61819940
those are the C4M-NWTNS
Of course I have aux in right now and not a vinyl. Just set it up today, the player has good speakers and the box underneath feeds its sound to two other speakers on other sides of the room.
Had a walmart giftcard and got this.
Loving the sound quality on all of them so far.
>>61819940
take the grill off, they look like pioneer hpm 100 kind of but can't tell in pic
Finally found Gregor Samsa's 55:12 for a reasonable price! Didn't even know it was clear vinyl until I got it.
>tfw no mail today
>>61818702
very nice
>>61820204
They're a little worn, but I got them from a guy I used to work for. They spent many years in a garage, but held up pretty well Considering. Best sounding speakers I've heard yet honestly.
Got the special edition of bowies second album in december

>>61822479
The other things are not amps. One is a CD player, one is a Casset player.
>>61814533
What is this dumb setup???
So are Fishmans vinyl reissues confirmed?
>>61823060
The bottom one is a Mitsu disc player (so CD player)
Second from bottom is a double cassette deck (so it holds two tapes)
Third one from the bottom is the sterio tuner preamp
And the top one is a regular amplifier
ATLP-120 is the turntable hooked up to two DCM CX-17 speakers.
It's loud and works really well even though it looks super bulky.

Hey guys, I bought a record on discogs that was supposed to be mint condition, but opened. I bought it from a reputable store in Germany but came with a defect.
The seller wants me to pay the shipping cost, do I have to in this case? And if not how do I make sure they pay for it?
More Big Black (reissue), the one on the right is a limited pressing of Primus' Green Naugahyde, and Blind Illusion is the band Les and Ler were in before Primus.

Getting into vinyls and such, what's a cheap but good record player for a first-timer? I found one for around $50 on Amazon, and the reviews are pretty decent. Is it worth it?
>>61824340
do you actually want to post the turntable?
here's a hint though, it's probably shite
>>61824399

>>61824416
It's a piece of shit. Buy at least the AT-LP120 or U-Turn Orbit with cue lever. You'll also need a RIAA preamp (especially for the latter), an amplifier/receiver and a pair of speakers.
If on budget, find vintage on Craigslist or locally.
>>61824416
any turntable with built in speakers is ass
also this one doesn't appear to have a counterweight, so it'll destroy your records
>>61824460
A cousin of mine wanted me to go with him to find a second-hand one (even told me he'd buy it), but I needed a second opinion.

you'd be better off buying a secondhand one, in all honesty

Thanks, anon. That Chenaux record was my favorite of last year, and the only album I really enjoyed from last year from a musician I wasn't already aware of.

How do you guys acquire shit? I usually just go on discogs, ebay, or amazon and buy the shit I want but it feels... too easy, you know what I mean? I find I'm getting a lot of cool shit I like but I'm just burning cash with no effort.
I might try seeking out yardsales or thrift stores, just for the thrill of the hunt you know.
>>61826473
Record stores. If I want something super unique I'll ask whoever's working there for something weird and interesting.
>>61826473
all the music stores around me are like 20-30 minutes away, and I never want to make that drive
half price books, movie trading company, and amazon are pretty much it
I'm kind of entry level <100 vinyls.
What should an entry level like me get as far as listening equipment goes, besides obvious shite like a turntable and speakers (both of which need to be replaced anyway). I get daunted by pictures like the OP's with all of them stacks of knobs and buttons and so forth. Help a newfriend out?

>>61826473
I find good shit at thrift stores often, for $1. Recent pickups include Rush Moving Pictures, original masterdisk near mint and Journey Escape original pressing also near mint for $1 each.

It's only worth that much to someone that would pay that much for that record, no one would pay that much for that record unless they were a DG fan, if they're a DG fan they don't really care that much about music. It's a Catch 22.

To address you two's comments: If the copy of the album's a bootleg, why is it being flaunted as a "prized piece"? Bootlegs of ExM go for the price of your average record, and are just about as common.
Long story short, >>61818217 post is absolute nonsense and completely unnecessary.

Take it to a professional?

He replied to a post asking what "your most prized piece in your collection" is, and in his reply he posted a picture of a collection of unmentionable albums with a copy of Exmilitary in the center of the picture. How is it not being flaunted as a "prized piece"? And even if you are right and it isn't being touted as a "prized piece" then why did he even post the picture in question in this thread?
>>61831756
That copy is the real deal, not a bootleg.
>>61831913
what's your point
>>61831943
That someone who's most prized pieces are an artificially overpriced Death Grips album and a bunch of bargain bin filler is buying records for the image and not because they actually like music and like to support their favorite artists. In other words,>>61818217 is poseur scum and deserves to be mocked in a public forum.

chill
may I ask what the point is? I have all of my favorite music on FLAC, and it didn't cost me a dime. is it really worth hundreds of dollars to you to be able to collect your music in a physical format? how is it any difference from spending tons of cash on baseball or magic cards or some other collection? I can see maybe wanting a copy of your favorite album to hang on the wall as decor or something, but not a whole collection. why do you do it, /mu/? I get that there's some intangible draw, but it's expensive and I can't see any reason to get into it. do you really enjoy it that much? why?

>FLAC
I bought 2 records for $4 yesterday and one the other day for 99 cents. It's not that bad. You physically have something and you can enjoy the hell out of having to handle something and take care of something.
It's also a social thing. You have to go out and buy vinyl in a store. You can make some great friendships.

It's the equivalent of buying that one of a kind Wu-Tang album and posting that you have it, even though everyone knows that Wu-Tang hasn't produced anything of any worth since '97. Yeah it's rare, and worth a lot of money, but it's not a good album.

It's your opinion man, you don't have to go full autistic

I like going to the shop and buying a record that I think might be neat and finding out I really like it

>is it really worth hundreds of dollars to you to be able to collect your music in a physical format?
Yes
>how is it any difference from spending tons of cash on baseball or magic cards or some other collection?
None
What's wrong with collecting? But unlike baseball cards, you also get music in it.
