  1. I think part of the reason it didnt sell as fast as Drive is probably because of the lack of the year long hype of Drive along with the fact that while I think Eng does some wonderful work (see Argo print), its not Stout, which is one of those names that sells rather easy to the art print collectors. Plus, I think most would agree that Drive is a better soundtrack overall.

    Not to take anything away from the Oblivion vinyl though because its a wonderful score and has some great artwork as well. To its credit, it did sell out faster than any of the other Mondo releases not named Drive.  Plus, I'm sure people's wallets are still feeling the RSD hangover and some probably don't mind waiting until the black vinyl gets released in stores.

    Yeah I knew alot of art collectors who picked up the Drive soundtrack only for the Stout art work. He is just one of those names who no matter what he puts out it will sell. 

  2. Yeah people said that they checked instantly and it started up there around 1500. Selling 1500 records in a day is still pretty good, I wish people checked how many when Drive went up.

    I would say probably about the same numbers maybe more. Who knows though. Since all the ones getting sent to stores are part of the same run it probably was even more. I think the only reason the Drive soundtrack sold out so quick is because I know plenty of people who ordered more than one just to get a better chance at the pink. Plus it was artwork by Tyler Stout who is one of the most popular artists for Mondo. 

  3. The people saying this doesn't sound better than whatever they desired to put. I do know this. This is my cheap alternative to getting into collecting records. Honestly right now I don't care that it doesn't sound as good as anything more expensive  Some of you all might think thats dumb but thats ok. I will be getting a much better one in the next year or so once I get a down payment on a house, but until then this will be fine enough for me. I will be sure to come here asking for advice on what is a good choice to go with. 

  4. I see exactly where you are coming from, but I don't need anything real fancy right now. I have other stuff I need to get. One day I will eventually get a better setup just right now this is more in my price range and really As good as vinyl sounds that isn't the only reason I'm getting into this hobby. I love to collect things. Especially music and art. With Vinyl I am kind of getting both That is just my thought on it. I know some people will think thats kind of dumb but o well  :)

  5. I ran a similar setup--LP60 has an output that you can plug the speaker output into.  It worked just fine for getting started.  Naturally, if you decide it's a hobby you enjoy, you'll probably want to upgrade in time, get a proper preamp, EQ, etc. 

     

    Now, in terms of sound quality, I'm not sure of what those speakers may or may not replicate.  As far as I was concerned, it sounded just fine. 

    Exactly what I needed to know! Thank you so much. I figured for now just getting started this would work perfect for me. I know in time I will eventually upgrade. Thanks again
