Bought these about two weeks ago.
Just upgraded my setup and got myself a Marantz. Any recommendations to clean it up, some of the LED's are burnt out as well.
>>65086473
>Bump some tunes
>Marantz amp gets HOT AS FUCK
>Your turntable begins to ooze into the amp and the whole house smells like burning plastic for weeks
Good plan my man
>>65086641
How did I do?
>>65086675
damn I'm really jelly of that H&tN and National Health
>>65086574
I've been listening to it for a while and it doesn't feel warm at all. There's enough circulation IMO
>>65086675
whats that pokemon record?
>>65084887
Hey thanks! I'm actually not sure what's on the Japanese one, will give it a spin as soon as my RCA cables and phono stage come in the mail. Says "Female Voice" on the label, so i'm assuming it's just that.
>>65086751
Clearly you haven't been listening long enough or you've been listening super quietly.
>>65086706
All I need is Rotter's Club, Civil Surface by Egg, and Arzachel and I'll have pretty much every Dave Stewart album that I care about.
>>65086760
The OST to Red/Blue version. Some record company in Spain put it out. My local store had some.
>>65086871
Probably a bit of both. I've been using my m50's and my B652 don't require much. I'm my defence I wasn't planning to get this till August when I move back to my apartment and have room for them not to be top on each other but I saw them on sale for a decent price so I bought it.
>>65086079
sick

The Austin Record Convention boasts itself as the largest selling of recorded music.
I wouldn't be surprised if it is.
I find everything there.
>>65087718
ive heard stories
id go if i had the means to
>>65087759
There's this guy.
Owns a record store in San Diego.
Every year he goes all over Europe and gets a bunch of badass prog and jazz-fusion.
And then he sells shit to me every year at the convention.
I'm spoiled.
le miles
>>65087835
im possibly taking a trip to italy over this summer hopefully i can find some quality italian prog
>>65087522
Holy fuck, that's really cool.
Just copped New Moon and Feels today. Kind of regretted it as soon as I bought them since I realized I could have easily used it on that $70 XO copy I've been looking at but then I started listening to New Moon and remembered that it's really good and I can just buy the other later this week.
I just got my turntable set up for the first time in a while and I'm getting a lot of distortion no matter what record I put on, even at lower volumes. Why is that? Or what are some general solutions I can try and use to get it down?
>>65087865
please tell me where you got the duster vinyl.
>>65088946
Local record store had a copy in. They let it go for $25. Probably the best deal I've ever gotten on a record thus far.
Waiting on the limited edition 12" single of St Vincent's Prince Johnny to arrive, ordered it in from England, really really keen for it to get here
Planning on picking up Vulnicura and Post on coloured vinyl as my next purchases, though I tend to buy the cheaper vinyl on my to-get list before I buy others, so I'll probably end up with a few more singles or EPs on vinyl soon
>>65088666
>I just got my turntable set up for the first time in a while and I'm getting a lot of distortion no matter what record I put on, even at lower volumes. Why is that? Or what are some general solutions I can try and use to get it down?
plz help me /mu/
I have a hard time justifying any other albums to myself when they all sound like crap on this TT for unknown reasons
>>65089484
Try realigning your cartridge with a protractor. Make sure to use one that fits your turntable/tone arm specifically. Failing that, there are some universal options available.
You can seek one out from http://www.vinylengine.com/cartridge-alignment-protractors.shtml , but you'll need to make an account unfortunately
Make sure to use 100% scale when you print, don't use fit to margin. These things have to be used precisely
>>65089484
>>65088666
Post your setup
>>65087865
Shit man wow how much was duster?
here's what I've somehow managed to get in the past week
>>65087865
you can get that miles album on original white 2-eye labels for like $15. please tell me you didn't pay much for that fucked up copy.
>>65092280
the scratch is actually inaudible and this copy is EX otherwise
>>65092428
oh, well then congrats, my man. and word to the shop for being that careful. usual places will be like "oh that copy of the pete la roca album for $40? yeah it plays EX don't worry about the nine pounds of mold."
>>65087606
nah, just fantasy
>>65089061
fuckkk you iam jealous
>>65086223

Still waiting on sides A/B which really sucks.

>>65093460
What are you doing outside the Bandcamp threads, Will ?
>>65087865
I'm so fucking mad. It is my life's goal to have a vinyl copy of Stratosphere. $25? I'm so god damn jealous

>>65095906

>>65095872
Nice cops dude. Pieces of a Man and Hospice especially
>>65086223
Good shit I already have love of life so im just looking for infinity now
>>65095950

>>65095844
top left is mewithoutYou - It's All Crazy! It's All etc
bottom right is Witch in Her Tomb - Maleficus Maleficarum
>>65095872
honestly I'm not as huge on the Dick Wolf! 7", that was a lil impulse buy since I loved the band name and screenprinted cover, not really my thing but hey it's not bad
>>65095896
yep! hadn't heard it before, but this is actually the second kvlt-looking 7" on Crippled Sound that I've impulse bought (picked up a House of Apparition 7" at another store here a few months ago) and they're both pretty damn good
>>65096084
>yep! hadn't heard it before, but this is actually the second kvlt-looking 7" on Crippled Sound that I've impulse bought
You absolutely have to listen to their self-titled album. It's one of the most interesting black metal releases I've heard, and probably has the best guitar tone of the entire genre.
>>65096084
>dick wolf
Good point i'd do the same
>>65096166
oooooooh I'll definitely get on that - been diving more into black metal/blackened punk/all that stuff recently and I love it so that sounds really promising
Got Blonde on Blonde last week to finish the electric trilogy. Feels good. Expensive, but they sound heavenly with the HD800.
>>65096226
The unfortunate thing is that you won't find any other black metal that sounds like it, and the album is less than half an hour in length.
>>65084588
>cassettes
I swear to god dude. I wish I never started using bandcamp. Cassettes are like crack to me.
>That one extremely expensive album that you'd buy instantly if you had $1k on hand
Which one is it, /mu/?
>>65096899
Cassettes are fun as hell. They're so cheap and you can find some really out there stuff. I'm glad they're making a resurgence too
Had Mana Pool by Vaperror show up about 2 weeks ago. Scored Doris and IDLSIDGO at a record shop when I was out of town seeing Kendrick live.
