my grandpa recently gave me a JVC QL-A200 and a little Optimus SA-155 amp. it isn't too much, but it's a nice start!

nigga where's your dust cover?
is that the recalled copy?
>>65883228
Bruhhhh physical is out?
Arrived in the post today. 1/2

2/2
I think I busted my subwoofer. It sounds all crunchy now and I don't think it's the wiring's fault.
Just set up my turntable with a new needle and a new cartridge and it's having some bad distortion issues, the severity depends on the record and how loud/close to the center it is (Halcyon Digest is pretty much flawless up to Desire Lines which is the last song on Side A while Amnesiac is really bad right off the bat).
Any ideas of what it could be or just general stuff I can do to fix this? I know it's not the speakers/preamp since I already use them to watch TV and they sound fine there.
>>65883670
Could be misaligned after the cartridge change ?
just slid in the mail slot yesterday
>>65883228
FUCK OFF WILL
>>65883733
Possibly. How do I find out/realign it? Is this the part where I need a protractor?
I kind of suck at this.
>>65883769
google can tell you all, I have never had to do it.
>>65883769
correct tracking force and fix skating
>>65883670
tape a few pennies to the needle. itll fix everything
>>65883478
My favourite Mogwai album for sure.
>>65883303
i took it off for a sec so i could put the cover on the hinges
>>65883414
yea and desu after first listen the pressing is pretty shitty.
got these bad bois
>>65884040
does Just What I Needed / Not Just What I Needed have the Cars' sample?
what online stores do you guys usually shop from? what stores do you recommend?
>>65884210

>>65883228
Stop posting will
>>65884141
no that version is super rare and was mostly recalled
>>65883670
Distortion near the end of a side is a common occurance with a lot of records. It depends on whether or not it was mastered properly to compensate for this.
Did these records have this issue before?
>>65883228
>>tfw drunk drivers and 1973 state park isn't on the same side
side A not having Destroyed By Hippie Powers on it is a worse feel. side a is like 11 minutes and side b is over 20 why will why
having a recalled copy makes up for it I guess
>>65884210
if you live in/near New England, BULL MOOSE. they don't change until they ship, so you can preorder without worrying, and every record I've ever gotten from them came in perfect condition. corners are perfect, no dents or creases, nothing. really fast shipping too

We did it nigga
just got a turntable as a birthday gift, it's the first one i've ever owned. problem is it's totally shit.
it's a crosley (don't lynch me it wasn't my choice to receive this thing).
it's playing the few records i own slightly faster than normal, i compared it to the song on my ipod and it gets ahead about 5 seconds per minute. it's really irritating. is there anything i can do to fix this? from what i've read since it's a crosley i'm pretty much fucked, but maybe you faggots can help me out
>>65888101
Hide it in a corner somewhere and get a good turntable.
>>65888143
okay yeah i figured as much. thanks i guess.
the crosley was a gift from my gf, she knows jack shit about vinyl and just wanted to do something she knew i wanted, so i'm gonna feel really shitty buying a new one and basically sticking hers in the trash like you said. i'll just tell her it broke or something
>>65888220
Yeah tell her it broke, that is a very plausible story. Best way a crosley shit box is a great way to ruin records.
>>65888256
ok, well, now that we've cleared that shit up, can you recommend a good starter tt that won't rape my bank account? i think i've seen people saying the at-lp120 is a good place to start? y/n?
>>65888305
Aye it's a good call.
So /vinyl/, are you mostly buying new or old vinyl?
>>65888540
Both my good man.
>>65888430
ok what about speaker setup? i know my shitty crosley comes with a preamp already inside it, what about the at-lp120
>>65885830
why are you here posting in a vinyl thread. it takes a certain type of autist to want to be identified on an anonymous imageboard to begin with. Yet you're wasting your time with entry level bants in a vinyl thread.
Anyway here's your reply
>>65884040
>>65884141
thought the version without the cars sample wasn't out til the 8th
>>65888644
yeah it has a built in preamp as well.
>>65888970
okay cool you've convinced me. thanks
>>65888540
atm new, music festival been going on here and I've been picking up a lot of stuff from bands I've stumbled across. Will probably post my full loot afterward.
>>65888644
At the risk of giving a copout answer speakers are a completely subjective choice. I could recommend speakers that you might very well personally despise the sound of, you gotta go out and test things for yourself.
>>65888540
Mostly new lately but earlier this year I made a massive purchase in a thrift store
>>65883228
Im looking for a vinyl frame that wont damage a larger vinyl booklet. I recently got Manipulator and i bought some frames to hold them from Hobby Lobby. Unfortunately because of the large booklet the back won't close to the frame and I'd rather not damage the booklet by leaving it in.
Does anyone know where i could find a frame that will accommodate the thicker booklet?
>>65884210
ebay
>>65884210
http://www.musicstack.com can have some hard to find records.
>>65884742
They did not.
To this extent, though? It sounds like the speakers got blown out. The Radiohead ones are the worst of the bunch, Packt Like Sardines is painful to listen to when it gets to "I'm a reasonable man get off my case".
Also as long as we're talking about distortion and noise
The record I want the most of anything is Elliott Smith - XO, but it got reissued on FUCKING PLAIN RECORDINGS and the original on Bong Load is usually around 70-100 bucks, if not more. I like it enough to pay for the premium if I really need to, but I've heard that the original pressing also has some bad surface noise. Apparently it kind of varies between them - some are perfect, and some aren't.
Is it worth it to take the risk? How can I figure out whether the one I'm looking at is going to sound good or not? Anyone have a copy that can chime in here?
If I wanna listen to vinyl through headphones only what would be a good starting turntable? Budget is 200. Thx.
>>65884210
I either buy it straight from the label or on dodax.com
>>65888305
Or this.

dust cover obligatory. don't go without.
>>65885570
It's not just about the quality, I know I sound generic here, but people like vinyl because it's collectible, nostalgic, and some people adhere to the physical features that come with it.
More post arrived today.

Also free code.
for my gf <3
havent even listened to bitte orca yet lol
I got these today at a semi-local shop.
>>65888540
new most of the shops around me just deal with new anyway, used over the school year when a guy comes to my university every two weeks with crates full of records, got an OG pressing of The velvet underground S/T for 10 bucks and OK Computer for 15
>Nigger K***ht
>>65888101
Go to a thrift store and get a used turntable, I've seen decent ones for as little as 5 bucks. Make sure it has a solid body and a weighted tonearm. You may need to get a new stylus but it's not a very large investment and is much better for your records
>>65888540
Mostly new because I have the money for it at the moment, but I usually buy used

Which version of TDAGARIM is that? I've been thinking of picking it up but I heard the really common one isn't great and >40 dollars anyway
Holding out hope for 10th anniversary reissue this year desu
>>65906119
Shit really? I just spun my original Exmil pressing a few times through to hear if it fixed it, I thought a penny wouldn't work so I just used two quarters
Seriously though ofc I won't do that, I'm just gonna try and fix the tracking force and see if that helps at all before anything else because I fucked around with it kind of carelessly trying to get rid of the distortion the first time
>>65888540
Used mostly, I don't have a lot of spending money for vinyl so I just hit up thrift shops and flea markets in my area and hope I get lucky
>>65906501
I found it for 20. Its the Triple Crown pressing, and it sounds fantastic

>>65906501
It wasn't so much for you but for anyone that hops in this thread and sucks at detecting trills. Thanks for being an ass hat to a stranger trying to save people from destroying very expensive equipment though. I'm going to use what's left of my black magic to make sure you never fix your damn turntable, loser
>>65910260
You like the same things my dad likes.
Any recommended stands/ tables to put my turntable and receiver? Looking for something preferably vertically standing
I haven't updated my setup in a long time. i'll post it anyway.
