awayward Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Keen to hear what System of a Down sounds like on vinyl, my second copy of A Perfect Circle, first had a scratch from new but couldn’t find the receipt, certainly worth a second purchase. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlov Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Got an Audio Technica MC Cartridge today, I have put it in my old Pro-Ject RP 4 and it sounds very nice brighter than my Ortofon Black, the vocals are nicer, bass is a bit low. Good looking cart, I’m doing my torture test Rickie Lee Jones RLJ now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goatboy Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Intervention Records is a newish label (2015) and their pressings so far have great reviews. I picked up these two, and they sound pretty fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, I did my best to align it as the seller advised. Im using the phono stage of my Yamaha CA 810 and adjusted the treble control. I’m getting more bass now but still bright sound, which is not bad at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevoz Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) Just purchased from Discogs, this UK pressing of an album which will almost complete my DEVO collection of studio albums. "Smooth Noodle Maps", their last album before 2010's comeback 'Something For Everybody', the last one I need, which is on vinyl but at crazy prices (on Discogs). Graded NM.

KRSDarwin Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 An unusual album acquired second-hand today. Authentic twang and drawl in the singing and heartfelt songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclemack Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Well with my 20% discount thanks to RSD, I’ve finally got this mighty box home. Can’t wait to listen. 14 LPs. Recordings made between 1947-1954. Original Dynamics preserved! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnwes Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 That's a terrific looking package. Enjoy. I went out early to a couple of local stores yesterday for RSD 2019 but was quite disappointed in the selection. I keep hoping for that elusive Bill Evans Resonance release that they've been doing the last few years but they don't seem to come to this small market. I found a few VG+ & NM though at Underground Records and a local thrift store I go through once a week. All in only spent $35 CAD and they're all keepers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantan Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I am not sure if my computer is haunted but I couldn't find any discounts at all for music on the JB site. Tried several times,just regular prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOPSHELF Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 A Jico SAS 1 to put on my Garrott P77. It's a bit of a bummer it is Easter and it will probably be a couple of weeks away... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoveD Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Gene Clark’s White Light. All analogue reissue from 2018 on Intervention Records, recommended by vinyliplay.comSounds superb! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elementary Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 First off, I want to thank everyone for their advice and input. It's been really educational for me. So, two days ago I was in a record shop in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago (Pinwheel Records, for anyone that lives up here), and they were selling a used U-Turn turntable w/ built-in preamp, no lift, acrylic plate and upgraded needle (Ortofon OM5E) & Pioneer DM-40BT-W speakers. The turntable (new) is $359 on U-Turn's site and the speakers on Amazon for $199... I negotiated the whole package for $325. I ran Patti Smith's 'Horses' album on the set, in the store, to make sure all was in good order. The kid behind the counter, basically, said, "The owner upgraded his home set, and just wants to get rid of it." So, this is where I am now, and I have been very happy with my purchase since getting it set up. Thank you, again, everyone for the help! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider it a chance to show your enthusiasm, esp if oddball releases pique your interest. Mostly it's all about the stores getting people through the doors in more numbers than they would normally but it's not a customer appreciation day so don't expect big discounts. It's a bit of fun, esp if you find a RSD item that floats your boat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowlerd303 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) Early arrival of King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard's new release Fishing for Fishies. I ordered both Flightless editions. Another different musical style for them. Mostly Blues/Rock, a hint of Jazz reminding me of their Sounds of Brunswick East album, and finishing up with some nice analogue synth.

H.E. Pennypacker Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Rega Planar 6 (and either a Dynavector p75 MKiv or MF MX-VYNL... have both and will choose one). This is an impressive player. I also got an Australian 1st press mono Sgt Peppers. I have another level of the Atacama stand coming and everything is kind of jammed in for the moment... but I have a hard job deciding between the Dynavector and the MF. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
