Cemetry Gator posted:What level are you outputting this out at? It sounds really loving saturated. Well, it's just the tape-out from my SX-780, which should be line level. The capture sounds the same as listening with headphones and through speakers and it's noticeable at any volume through those. I did just hook up another receiver and it had the same issue with the same record, so thankfully it's not my beloved Pioneer causing it. I'll do some more investigating this week with a different turntable I can set up, and I can try out different cartridges if need be.

So I went ahead and swapped everything - different receiver, turntable, stylus and cartridge. And to me the distortion sounds the same, mostly in the left channel. The capture setup is the same but I listened with headphones directly from each receiver and it sounds the same there. New recording: https://vocaroo.com/1fKwddsaR7nR Original recording: https://vocaroo.com/19yFjTqVIh7y So I guess it's just a really making GBS threads pressing? I've never experienced one that's THAT bad before.

So a limited edition record is coming out that I need to have in my life, so now I need a player. I already have a receiver and speakers so it needs to have RCA output but I looked online and have absolutely no idea where to even start with all the choices out there. Can anybody suggest a beginner friendly non Walmart record player please?

Audio Technica LP120 is still more or less the standard recommendation I think

I have an LP60. I’ve given it hundreds of hours of use and after two moves, including one where I dropped it, it still works but needs to be adjusted because it plays just a hair too fast. I def recommend it as an entry level record player.

If you're going to stick with it or get serious about it the 120 is the better choice. If you're just casually interested and only going to listen to a few things here and there that are just a fun thing you like then the 60 is fine.

Some people buy a cheaper tripod for their camera, and then just buy the right one eventually, anyway. Why potentially waste time and effort, when you can do it right the first time? You can always sell the 120 if you decide that it’s not your bag. They hold their value! What I’m saying is, the 120 will help you feel like a more fulfilled and centered person,

Anecdotal evidence: I told myself when I started out I'd only get the really really good stuff on vinyl and keep the collection slim, 2 years later I have more records than I think I ever had CDs so you see how that's going.

My Lovely Horse posted:Oh poo poo the Ghost Dog soundtrack, that is an excellent choice both for first/only record and in general. I was about to say I doubt I’m going to start a collection, but then I realized that the reason I even know this album exists is because of the Criterion Blu-ray release. And judging by my DVD collection I might actually want to look into storage options.

The lp 60 is fine and 1/3 the price (I used one for years with no problems) but if you can swing the 120 or equivalent then definitely do that. My Technics TT is a better experience all around. As far as storage goes. The ikea https://www.ikea.com/us/en/search/products/?q=kallax is the go to. I think Target and Walmart have versions of it too.

I kinda wish there was a better turntable with the same (relatively) compact size of the LP60, with the turntable arm being up above the record instead of off to the side. Would save me a couple of inches of counterspace

I have a new mix up on mixcloud. Psych/soul/whatever. All vinyl. https://www.mixcloud.com/mawesome/the-moss-hole-basement-session-10232020/ I'm also giving away one of the Garth Brooks box sets. All you gotta do is leave a comment on one of my mixes (you can listen and follow me as well if you are so inclined...) and let me know who you are somehow (PM me here or sporklift at hotmail). I am gonna pick the "winner" on Sunday. Oh yeah. I am only able to mail it in the United States.

I can’t imagine ever doing either a Black Friday or RSD thing again, plague or not. One of each was enough for me. It would have to be a really good Belle and Sebastian exclusive or something.

The Divine Comedy is a RSD First release, at least. Hopefully it'll go like last time - roll in around 9 in the morning, be 7th in line and walk out in under an hour. Simultaneously the most and least stressful RSD I've ever participated in.

I don't think I've ever done an RSD run, but my friend and I might be heading out Friday just because it's a good day for us to go work schedule-wise (we're not trying to get any actual RSD releases). Is it likely we can avoid the crowds if we just get a later start? I know this is region-dependent, but whenever I hear of craziness around RSD shopping, it's about people lining up in the morning to try to snag limited copies. So in those cases, do things dissipate after a couple hours?

A lot of the RSD poo poo just hangs around for a long time and even appears online at or below the original retail from discogs and ebay sellers. The Newbury Comics in my area had to create an all sales final policy on RSD records because people kept buying stacks of poo poo and when they couldn't flip it they'd return it all. I've noticed more stuff than usual just hanging around months after RSD or even a year+ later so I think people are cooling down on it. If you're interested in that stuff Bullmoose does a thing where they sell all that poo poo a day or two later online. In an actual store all the jerkoffs are lined up early in the morning so yeah if you wait a few hours people have cleared out but the selection is usually picked over.

The record shop near my place thankfully has never had a big line for RSD stuff and it’s always the same people I see every time so they know the very strict rules the shop adheres by and it’s very orderly and as low risk as possible. So I’ll probably do RSD tomorrow but that’s about it.

The one thing I'm interested in (that Uncle Tupelo live album) is RSD first so I'll either roll in to my local after the dust has settled or just wait for the wider release.
