Think I'm done dealing with Acoustic Sounds. Placed an order two weeks ago and as of today it still isn't processed. All albums are in stock, I agreed to shipping charges (which I had to chase them for) and this transaction is still in limbo. Spoke to my local record store who can access their product for the same price or cheaper and at least I know I'll receive the goods.

The War On Drugs - Live Drugs 2 LP live set. Great selection and sonics. Highly recommended if you’re a fan

Very nice ! Amazon is predicting delivery in a week or so. Gonna be a long wait 🙂

Decided to go for the 7LP version. Hanging out for this as it's one of my favourite albums.

GZ, the vinyl industry’s most eminent mediocrity strikes again. This is Roxy Music Avalon’s 2017 half speed master. Grabbed it as my original is more than rough around the edges. As you can see, there is gunk and some fine lines (scratches?). Scrubbed it with my vacuum RCM which thankfully has done the trick. The white lines look identical to another GZ pressing I own - The Who Live at Leeds. I hadn’t opened this album and was prompted when I saw someone on the Hoffman forums post a picture of theirs with GZ’s signature white gunk, and mine was identical.

Great thread idea @metal beat Rowland S Howard. While he was a member of bands and had collaborations, he only released two solo albums.

This is a sturdy four rack Gecko stand weighing in at around 60kgs. I can't find specs on this model on the Gecko site, and don't remember the shelf ratings, but as a guide I had a Musical Fidelity power and pre amp weighing 19kg and 20.5kg respectively and a Kenwood Turntable weighing 14.5kg. I believe the shelves can handle heavier components. It's hard to capture in a photo, however the top of the unit has scratches, hence the price. Apart from this cosmetic damage, the unit is in good condition. Dimensions: H: 84cm W: 69cm 😧 57cm

40th Anniversary of Joy Division's Closer is out soon. There's also rereleases of the 12"s: Atmosphere, Transmission and Love Will Tear Us Apart. Warners are offering a package buy on the four discs. Or, you can grab them cheaper from Juno Records in the UK. -

I have a pair of C2s. Amazing speakers and these look to be in impeccable condition and are priced to sell. -
Benefit of Vinyl Reproduction Question:
Goatboy replied to bryansamui's topic in General Hi-Fi Discussion
Far be it from me to interpret Fremer, but what I understood is that the mastering process (and with respect to digital the choice and quality of DAC), and all it involves is a lot more complex than 'transfer the CD to vinyl'. FWIW I remember doing a shootout between the CD of BIA and the MOFI LP at a friend's house. At that stage he'd invested around 13K in his digital rig and about 5k in his vinyl setup. We both thought the vinyl sounded better, but only just.
