Oh poo poo I didn't realize we had a new thread (Stopped reading the old one for who knows what reason). I haven't done any record hunting in the last few months, mostly because my attention has been focused elsewhere. I need to get back into it though. Here's a few of my favorites from my collection for the new thread:

CPL593H posted:You seem like a guy who would know this. What's a good place to start with the B-52s? Is it best to just go in order? My very first album I ever owned (on cd) was Cosmic Thing. It holds a very special place in my heart. That being said, their first album is one of the best albums ever made. Hell, Rock Lobster is cited as one of the things that inspired Lennon to come out of retirement. It sounds amazing on vinyl and should be fairly easy to get.

SupahDren posted:Hey sorry, rear end in a top hat question: I'm getting into vinyl more and more for various reasons, maybe I'm just a douchebag, who knows...anyway, I would like some advice on getting a serious turntable. My current solution is great, but maybe it's time to do this for real. I'm currently deciding between the Technics 1200 line and a Pro-Ject Debut III. Within the former, there seem to be about 200 options over the last 30 years. Which 1200 do you guys recommend, if you don't mind sharing? Also, how would you compare these vs the pro-ject, or would you recommend something else entirely? I know this is vaguely answered in the first post, but if we can't be neurotic and stuff why are we in the vinyl thread?!! Thanks. What's your budget? 1200s range a lot in price and you also need to factor in things like a cart (Any cart coming on a 1200 is most likely a dj cart that will be horrid for listening and the debut III's stock cart is nothing short of horrid) and a pre-amp.

Ron Burgundy posted:DJ cartridges achieve everything you mentioned by being built very basically and rigidly. They do this at the cost of fidelity and record wear. DJ cartridges may tout reduced record wear, but they are comparing to other DJ cartridges, not Hi-Fi ones. I have an Ortofon 2M Red on a Project Debut III. For $100 it's a great cart for listening. If you're doing archival work look elsewhere as there can be some distortion towards the middle-end of the record. I will say this though, if I were going to be buying a cart for the Debut III again, I wouldn't go with the red because it requires a new (Heavier) counterweight for the Debut III. It's so heavy that the counterweight has to sit at the very end of the tone arm to get it properly balanced and is a bitch to adjust (Constantly slipping off).

Mikerthan posted:A friend of mine sent me this website Popmarket today. Different vinyl deals every day - I got the Slayer box set for $99 this morning. I've seen it in stores here for $250+ so definitely worth checking, cause that's a crazy deal. They've also got the 3 new Pearl Jam reissues for $45 and other stuff for cheap. It's a great set that sounds awesome; especially for that price.

Most likely the masters are in poor condition and doing a digital remaster is the only viable way to preserve them while remastering the sound.
