  1. I got a delivery confirmation on this today from USPS. I just ordered the regular edition, but I am anxious to see if any nasty surprises await me. First time ordering directly from CT.

  3. Nope. Just the few songs that have already been released along with the animated videos. Can't trust Trent Reznor's tweets, apparently. Trent Reznor ‏@trent_reznor 19h Ahh... I see even "regular" people like you can hear it now, too! http://www.likeclockwork.tv/ Trent Reznor ‏@trent_reznor19h Josh gave me the excellent new @QOTSA record a while ago which gets listened to every day on the way to NIN rehearsals.
  4. Looks like the album is streaming here now: http://www.likeclockwork.tv/
  5. I ordered mine on Monday and received it yesterday, and that was with standard shipping. It is an awesome package! I have played Zero twice now (a second time just to make sure) and it sounds perfect. No distortion at all. I avoided this package when it was first released because of the price and the quality problems. So happy that I saw the recent post on here about Amazon.ca carrying it at the much-cheaper price. Now that I have listened to it all the way through, I would have gladly paid the exorbitant beginning price. A beautiful package and an amazing-sounding album, IMO.
  6. Paper Route's first full-length just went up for sale. First time it's been pressed on vinyl. Double vinyl set, with brand new packaging and two extra tracks. This is a great album, too. http://paperroute.spinshop.com/
  7. I'm looking to buy a new turntable (Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB Direct Drive) and upgrade the cartridge to the Shure M97xE (based on lots of online recommendations). I just recently began listening to vinyl via a Numark PT01USB turntable (I know, it's a "toy"), but I have a nice pair of Etymotic earbuds that I love using along with the turntable. For that reason, I am interested in pairing a new turntable with a preamp that I can use my earbuds with, as I do not have a stereo set-up (receiver, speakers, etc.) I have a nice pair of Bose bookshelf speakers for my iMac, but that's it. I am looking at the Bellari VP130 Preamp because it is also a headphone amp. The specs say the Bellari is for MM and high output MC cartridges. I cannot figure out exactly what kind of cartridge the Shure is. The Amazon description says "high-performance magnetic", but I don't know what that means compared to MM and high output MC. Am I looking at components that are incompatible? Any advice/help would be much appreciated. >> Scott
  8. I did verify that my turntable was running at the correct speed. I tried playing the record multiple times, on both sides, and it was definitely not playing at the correct speed. After reading several posts here about using a pencil, I did just that and it helped a little, but it was still off slightly. Then I used a pocket knife and gently twisted it around the opening as instructed by 3arl, and that worked perfectly. Thanks everyone for the input!
  9. So would you recommend that I just return the record then?
  10. I did try adjusting the pitch speed, but it was still off. In retrospect, I do remember having to push the record onto the spindle to get it to fit on there... Thanks again for the replies.
  11. I wondered about that myself, but as I say, I am new to vinyl and thought I would ask first. Thanks for the reply.
  12. I am a relative newbie to vinyl. I purchased Thrice's Vheissu double album from Hot Topic and the first disc will not play correctly. At first, I thought I had the wrong speed setting, but it drags at 33-1/3 and plays too fast at 45. The second disc plays perfectly fine. I have never had this problem before, so I was wondering if this is a manufacturing glitch or something else possibly? Thanks.
