Parachute posted:idk where else to ask this and i dont think i have an amp to connect it to, but how can i test an old pair of klipsch heresy speakers from the 80s to see if everything is working ok? FB marketplace has the most demand, Craigslist is still OK. Hereseys are still pretty desirable cause they sound great through low powered tube amps, I’d probably ask ~400 for the pair depending on condition

MrSargent posted:The M44G looks awesome, but also looks to be more than twice as expensive as the S-120. Since I would need to buy two of them, that's a lot more than I was looking to spend. I'm not against spending a little more than the S-120, but I probably should have mentioned that this is mostly going to be for practicing and I doubt I will actually be playing out anywhere soon. Yeah but you're gonna have to replace the s-120 stylus at least three times before you worry about the M44G though. Just putting that out there. On the other hand the M44G is discontinued and you might not even be able to find a stylus for it in the near future.

Jico makes a Shure M44 drop-in replacement that's pretty much the exact same as the discontinued Shure stylus: https://www.jico-stylus.com/product_info.php?products_id=1740 Shure M44s are awesome for kind of off-condition 45s, probably track too heavy for styrene (especially if you're back queuing it). I never set mine at the recommended 3g, either.

Goodwill goop update: the lighter fluid worked. https://twitter.com/NewsFedora/status/1114623438759583744 https://twitter.com/NewsFedora/status/1114624207546134529 Probably the only one from the Goodwill pile that's of any value is the Leonard Cohen. But if you're curious, here's what they all are, from left to right. Top row: Leonard Cohen - Suzanne / Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye (promo) Prince - 1999 / Little Red Corvette Stevie Wonder - For Once in My Life / Angie Girl Rathskeller - Writing on the Wall / You Won't See the End of Me Bottom row: Earth, Wind & Fire - Let's Groove / Let's Groove (instrumental) Nat King Cole - In the Cool of the Day (Manos Hadjidakis) / Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days of Summer Cliff Nobles - The Horse (instrumental) / Love is All Right Nat Turner Rebellion - Ruby Lee / You are My Sun Sign

WHERE ARE MY SLEEP RECORDS JACK WHITE  I've had my tracking number for over two weeks and it's still sitting waiting for FedEx to actually get the loving thing. Yeah, I'm at the end of the alphabet for my last name (W), but seriously, this is kind of absurd? Slap the labels on and have FedEx pick it up already.

esperantinc posted:WHERE ARE MY SLEEP RECORDS JACK WHITE I wonder what the deal is. Maybe they have to pay extra to schedule multiple trucks to pick them up or something, who knows. Maybe they're really slow at packing the records in the boxes. I got mine last Tuesday and my last name is in the middle of the alphabet. Either way, it's worth the wait.

Sounds incredible, even if it is essentially $70 for a live album. That's still cheaper than any 4 LP set you'll find in a store. Also, do you live outside the US because the quarterly package is always 60 dollars. If they charged you 70 they did something wrong.

I have a record by this band so this post is on topic!! I just saw HEALTH just now and it was a+/top marks. I love their first two albums but what I have heard of the third wasn’t too hot, so I didn’t know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised with the show. Perfect mix of noisy/dancey. Go see them if they’re in your town https://www.last.fm/music/Health/+events https://youtu.be/HOd5cwcAqXQ (they didn’t play this song) https://youtu.be/EWZxThGh5wQ this one though.

Yeah. I was expecting something like Free Comic Day and was super bummed when I found out it was just overpriced reissues. Now I just avoid it. Portland is full of record nerds and flippers so all the good stuff is gone by noon and the dregs sit around for years.

If there is any way to flip something online for just waiting around for it, people will try to make money off of it. See: Comic Con exclusive bullshit. I'm surprised that the record store employees themselves don't just resell this poo poo online using ebay accounts not associated with their stores?

Even if you make a bit of money, the bullshit with standing outside the door from the crack of dawn until the places open isn't loving worth it. Especially since the retail prices are so high now the profit margin is even that great.

Yes, but you see, some people have no life, so wasting their free time on perceived minimal profit is blah blah blah.... At least flippers are doing it for a profit reason. I guess I can understand that. When people waited outside of Apple stores for new shiny phones. That's I didn't get.

How much can you make off this stuff that it would be worth standing outside for a whole day in the snow and possibly rain?

Here locally in San Francisco, the Waxtrax collection comes with premiere tickets to the documentary in the city so those will flip high, the tickets probably even separately will flip high. Even non-specialized stuff like that, if you put it up immediately as the FOMO starts to set in on people who don't go out you could easily quadruple your initial investment. it helps that the folks who run RSD also let the numbers loose of pressing quantities, anything >2000 will flip high, anything greater than that is usually assured will get a full release down the road after the dust has settled on RSD (like the Green Day at Woodstock record will just always be around, not really exclusive).

I don't know by how much but there are usually more of them than they say there will be. I think the circlejerking about all the Third Man limited editions or whatever is the dumbest bullshit ever and I say this as someone who has been subscribed to the Vault since 2009. People are losing their minds about those three inch records which are only playable on a tiny 70 dollar turn table made by loving Crosley. And all the songs on them are just singles you can buy at any time. Jack White could probably poo poo in a box and people would fight over the chance to pay a hundred dollars for it.

There are a few records I would really like but I don't think I can bring myself to wait in line super early and I am not even sure if the record store that participates is going to have these in stock. They honestly aren't that helpful when it comes to letting people know what releases they will have in stock. E.A.T. prod.

Yah I am thinking about doing that, usually the hip-hop stuff sticks around longer than anything else so I may have a shot. But drat I would be said if I missed out on the &' singles. I've been working on DJing an all-45 set and would love to have those in the rotation.
