Couple of recents from yesterday
>>61470840
What's the red TT? Looks fucking cool.
What I've copped this holiday period.
>>61471022
It's the Music Hall mmf-2.2 le (limited red version.) I also got Art Angels just a couple weeks back, it's a cool vinyl with all the different sheets/art pieces
Gonna go order Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) - What it Takes to move Forward on Friday.
Already feels weird thinking about just being a customer in the place you've spent the last couple of months working.
>>61471181
How old are you? That looks fucking comfy
>>61471210

Nice Alcest poster, that album is awesome
>>61471244
Do you live alone
>>61471022
back to tumblr with you
>>61471336
Nah I live with my family still although I often feel like I'm alone here
>>61471022
I feel bad for you, literally all trash except Surfer Rosa
Stuff I've bought so far over winter break
my friend's mom was cleaning out a ton of shit
she had an original copy of zen arcade in what i would call as close to mint condition as it could possibly get
sounds fucking pristine
Mmmmmmmm
Also, how many of you are hyped to buy Blackstar?
This capitalist consumerism bullshit is why music fans are largely so insincere about this hobby. I'm grateful somebody's supporting musicians but I wish I didn't have to interact with the fedorafags here on /mu/. Vinyl is a relic of the past that's been fetishized for its retro appeal. Exactly the same as wearing men's fashion from the '50s AKA a fedora. That's what's so ironic about /mu/, how people are picking out "cool" records, buying them, showing them off online and yet are afraid of being called a fedora for their tastes when their behavior is in fact no different whatsoever from fedora wearers.
Hardly anyone truly has a passion for music. Mostly it's nothing more than people who like the image and culture of music, enjoying the idea of themselves being musically inclined and therefore cultured. That's the appeal of vinyl with its big artwork and its physical presence on the bookshelf. Vinyl is a decoration to fill a void in your personality.
>>61472600
Looks pretty cozy man
>>61472804
Please stop forever
>>61472804
All your words are a decoration to fill the void in your personality
>>61472804
you sound a lot more image-obsessed than vinyl collectors desu
>>61472804
Please, never post on this board again.
>>61472804
please show me the way, enlightened musicsplainer. help me smash capitalism and the rockist power dynamic. btw how much of my income should I donate to my local revolutionary socialist army?
just picked up a few earlier today
Boston - Don't Look Back ($2)
The Cure - Pornography ($3)
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run ($7)
>>61472280
>she had an original copy of zen arcade in what i would call as close to mint condition as it could possibly get

>>61473596
happily married for several years
she was a disc jockey for a punk/indie station in the 80s and 90s
she also had orig mint copies of atomizer an psychic powerless another mans sac which she gave to me me
>>61472804
okay
>>61472647
Someone just unboxed his AT-LP120
Just picked up this bb yesterday in Brooklyn at Rough Trade. Didn't even know it was on vinyl and am pretty excited.
>>61473916
i went there when i was in NYC last year, pretty good, the neighborhood is full of faggot hipsters tho :<
Bit of a blurry iphone pic but you get the idea.
Newest things I've gotten are Giles Corey, that Toe record that I have yet to get to, some Caddywhompus test pressings and a whole bunch of Alexisonfire tapes.
Also just saw Tim Hecker - Virgins on coke bottle clear /300 on Discogs for twenty fucking dollars and snapped it up with a quickness.
>>61473916
>Strange Trails
Nice, saw LH live recently and it was great
>rebranded Crosleys now exist and are sold
This has gone too far.
>>61475087
They've always existed. China manufactures this shit.
This is 100% me btw not lying
>>61475087
how much better would crosleys be if they simply added a counterweight?
i'm curious what people have to say about this
>>61475227
Not really, ceramic cartridges need a fuckload of tracking force for proper playback.
Some old P-mount turntables don't have counterweight as well, but since they're moving magnets the carts don't require scrapping on the record, so they're comparably light on records.
I don't get picture discs because they suck but the one of Earth's Hex is fantastic
>>61475292
*scraping
whatever.
>>61475227
Not much better. You'd still have some overhang since the platter is 10" in diameter. You would still have these terrible ceramic cardridges. Not to mention Crosleys are known for having unsteady speeds too.
The lack of counterweight is not the problem with Crosleys, it's just part of the many things that make them shit.
Posted this is the last thread but didn't get much response. I bought this a few weeks ago after I saw them at a show but when I opened it the CD side was a completely different band called Gang Starr. Anybody ever hear of cases of getting mismatched records before? Any idea what I could do to get the actual CD side?
>>61475227
Crosley did this recently. Pic related is a refurbished Pro-Ject Debut III with double the price, and the other is a belt-drive clone of SL-1200.
>>61474064
>growlers
>>61475580
>costs 400 bucks
>not meant to be portable
>fixed the issues of the chep models
>STILL HAS FUCKING OVERHANG
Are Crosley's people actually retarded?
>>61475525
You're not alone, I ordered this Enter Shikari record (A Flash Flood of Colour) when it came out about 3 years ago and it was the right cover, sleeve, and trans blue color, but the label and pressing were for some really mediocre band called Walls. Not sure if this specific mis-pressing was widespread though
>>61472804
i agree. i place my vinylss and vinyls player so it's the first thing people see when they come into my apartment. if they miss it when they walk in, i make sure i point it out to them. i just loving seeing every bodies face as they go thru my obscurely and eclectically curated vinyls. i even have a instagram and tumblr with pictures of my most "out there" vinyls selection that i average 17 likes per post. ive met many indie girls too because of my vinyls selection
>>61475706
Yeah
>>61475525
Talk to the label, show them pictures if they request. They should send you a new one, if they're worth their salt.
>>61472804
This is so true desu
Montiefag, I'm looking right at you
>>61475917
Fuck U
>>61475987
Who else starts up vinyl threads all the fucking time, tripfag pics of your shit so we all know it's you, and then show off your collection on facebook too? If mommy hadn't bought you that lp120 and the rest, I doubt you'd even care to pay for any of this shit yourself. Must be a convenient hobby you acquired :-)
>>61476062
lol chill the fuck out niqqa
>>61476062
To be fair, it's better than a couple monthes ago when we had one threadper week or less, and it was always ruined by the same fag who brought up digital vs physical despite the OPs having nothing to do with that.
>buy Yes - Fragile used from a seller, claiming it's near mint
>spin it
>nothing but loud surface noise across the record
what do? I paid 15$ for this crap total.
>>61476467
Try deep cleaning it, either by using the rubbing alcohol or wood glue method
>>61476467
Never use discogs again.
Never buy second hand unless you can actually take a look at the record and give it a quick spin before.
>>61475580
lmfao the protective stylus guard is *still on the stylus* lmaooooooooooooo
>>61476467
tfw got a 33 cent copy of this at goodwill that sounds exactly the same

>>61476690

>>61476740

I've been thinking about the AT LP60USB
>>61477240

Opinions on Technics SL-QD33?
>>61477240
If your serious about collecting go for the LP120 I own the LP60 and recently replaced it because there were allot of things that drove me crazy about it
