  1. I did it and shot video - you can check it out on my vinyl blog:

    Thanks! That was cool. I wonder if there's a way to attach the lights to the bottom of the platter so that the lights rotate?

     

    I also wonder if there's such a thing that could illuminate the entire platter so that if you play a colored vinyl, the light that would shine through would reflect the color of the record.

     

    Nevertheless, awesome video. Thanks again!

  2. Not to be a pessimist, but I don't think it's going to work out. If I didn't reach out to Insound, I'm pretty sure they would have just ignored my order and not even send an email notification saying it had been cancelled. Therefore, I reached out to them and finally managed to get a 15% discount on the acrylic platter that I ordered.

     

    I doubt you can get the 15% discount anymore (I think it was a November/December promotion) on the Pro-ject Debut Carbon, though, since they didn't let me get the discount on the cheaper phono preamp I wanted.

  3. It does make a difference marginally. I had a glass platter and switched to the Delrin which to me made a difference. Plus with the Delrin platter you don't use any mats, the record just sits on the platter which helps with any static you get from using felt mats.

     

    You can place the record directly onto an acrylic platter as well. Therefore, I'm sure there's not too much difference.

     

    However, I have a white Pro-ject Debut Carbon, and I like the white on white look.

  4. There seems to be a really fine line between flipping and legitimately selling. Not too long ago, I saw someone selling a copy of the red pressing of Something Corporate's Leaving Through The Window for around $65. A lot of members on here said that he had great prices and therefore, I just kept my mouth shut. I've seem similar instances with records that were recently released.

     

    So, at what point does selling a record at a jacked up price become flipping? Is there an unwritten grace period between when a record is released and when you can sell it at an inflated price?

  5. I emailed them again and told them that they should honor my order since the shopping cart reflected the price after discount. They stopped responding to me, so I just told them to cancel the order so that I could order my Rega Fono Mini on Sound Stage Direct, since it's the last day of their 11% off sale.

     

    I have a feeling people at Insound are freaking out right now because they have all these orders that can't be fulfilled. Someone's getting fired haha.

  6. Got an email from Insound:

     

     

    I am sorry for the delay responding to this matter. Checking the order, it looks like it was placed for but a glitch had altered the order. The holiday promotion for 30% off only applies to CDs. However, this seems to have been activated for all the items in the order. The holiday page on the front the site had been updated in early December to make this distinction clear, as some orders were placed and customers were confused as to why the CDs had only been discounted. Our tech team is working to adjust this issue, as it seems to have changed recently due to a glitch. Would you like the order to remain intact with the updated discount or would you like the order closed?

    Best,
    -John

     

    So they're not honoring new orders?
