I am working on why do they rock so hard and most likely cheer up although demand on that one seems to be a bit lower so I am not

Why do they rock so hard, cheer up, we're not happy till you're not happy, live album, I'd buy them all

I say somewhat very reluctantly..

somewhat very, that's classic

I actually used to have this, but was sold on eBay for rent money when I was broke.  Wish I could have it back, but probably couldn't afford it.  I haven't seen it for sale in a couple years anyway.

I have my vinyl shipped to the office where i work.  Mailman also likes to stuff my 7" records into my tiny mailbox.  Nothing broken, but surprising they weren't.  Though I think the woman who hands out the mail at the office is getting tired of delivering my records to me.

Hi,

 

I'm looking for a couple rare pressings.  I know it's a longshot, but figured why not try.

 

Joy Electric - Workmanship (blue vinyl - 98 pressed)

Vanessa Carlton - Rabbits on the Run (200 pressed)

 

That's all for now.

Thanks,

I have just one:

The Dingees - The Crucial Conspiracy

I do also have a decent Sony turntable plugged in to a Emerson stereo, but I might be moving a long distance in a few months, so I'm faced with an unfortunate reality of the needs for portability. If, however, portability wasn't an issue, what turntable would you recommend?

Haha you are right I am being a dork about it. I try to avoid listening to music on YouTube unless I absolutely have no other option because I don't like the lower sound quality. Yet here I am ripping a record that is beat the hell up. I guess the part of the story missing is the sentimental aspect - I got the record while vacationing in Hong Kong with my fiancé. Believe it or not, the merchant I bought the record from had two copies of the record and this was the better of the two. Anyway, I am sure in the case of this particular record having a complete low end would in no way make it sound better - I'm just being a nerd.

Yeah, the second is from an antique dealer and in pretty rough condition - part of why I want to archive. I was just curious if anyone would know why I wasn't picking up anything below -5.0 db on that or any other record.

Here's one where the clipping is even more pronounced:

I am not looking to download. Also, believe it or not I have some albums that are not even found online.

Ps. Sorry about the typo in the thread title. I'm typing on my phone. If some can fix it (I'm new to the board & can't find any option to revise it), please feel free to do so.

Hi,

I recently purchased Sharper Image's TSI-2005-MTT portable record player. The sound quality is great for the price I paid. Yesterday I tried the vinyl to mp3 via USB feature for the first time. Overall I'm pleased with the output, though I did see the sound was clipping on the low end on multiple artists at around -5.0 db (high end looks perfect). Does anyone have any suggestionson how to overcome the clipping, or know if this might be a limitation of the hardware? I'm using Audacity on a 2007 MacBook as the Receiving device.

Thanks for any assistance,

Levi
