  1. I don't think he can get any better than Antichrist Superstar for me. Granted Mechanical Animals, Holy Wood, and Golden Age had some great tracks but not every single song was good like Superstar.  Portrait is up there as well. The others after Golden Age seemed ok but not great. I did like most of this new album too. I got the Red. He seems more mature this time around. If that makes sense.

  2. I just bought Kallax and it was super easy to put together and sturdy. For sure would recommend it. I have a smaller collection at the moment but I can see easily being able to buy more and combine while looking aesthetically pleasing.

    If your budget is $800+, then get a nice piece of wooden furniture from a local shop or woodworker. I've seen some really gorgeous pull out shelves that double as record storage and record player surface on Etsy and by googling around. Having a budget for legit awesome furniture is the only reason I'd avoid a Kallax.

    100%

  3. I mean I get majority of these kinds of soundtracks suck but John Williams, Danny Elfman, Alan Silverstri, and others are great composers for the most part. But even ochestral gaming soundtracks have merit. Not the kind that mashes a bunch of songs together.

     

    Even the Baby Driver record was recommended by my local record shop owner. So I wondered.

  4. I'm curious on opinions on this. Is there any collector value to any movie or video game soundtracks on vinyl? I picked up an original, but not near mint though it was close, Star Wars A New Hope soundtrack at a local record store for like $15. I was surprised it was so low but is this normal? And is there any value to collecting these besides just for fun?

  5. Hey,

    So I got this record player about 10 years ago from a thrift store for about $10. Recently I grabbed it out of storage and started to put it to use. There are two issues I need to address with it; one there is a slight amount of static even after making sure the cartridge was clean along with the record and two the wire to the left analog speaker is faulty, meaning I sometimes need to jiggle it to get it to play. I have a preamp, just a cheap converter one from Amazon, and Edifier Bookshelf Speakers. So my question is, when do I know when I need to replace a cartridge? Also, should I replace the wire myself from the turntable to the premap to fix the fault in the wire and is it worth the hassle? I like the vintage style set up but I also don't want to waste my time if I should save up for something better.

     

    Thanks!
