Mine arrived in New Zealand this week (all 3 are /100 pressings). Apart from the pretty flimsy card stock for the jackets, they have come up really nicely. I have only listened to Magnetic North so far, and it sounds good. This afternoon I'll sit down and listen to my OP TSY vs. the repress.

I've been thinking about playing around with pre-amps to see if I can get a warmer/more bass heavy sound and thought about testing the waters with a tube pre-amp. Here's my setup: Pro-ject P1.2 w/ Ortofon 2M Blue - Pro-ject Phono Box - Rotel RA-935BX - KEF Q100 Here is a cheap pre-amp I was looking at: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1259088939 I see a lot of specs listed, but it may as well be a foreign language to me :/ Would that pre-amp be able to cope with the 2M Blue? Would it likely be an improvement on the standard Pro-ject Phono Box? To make life easier, below are the specs one under the other:

Grabbed. Thank you!

For those of you that missed out!

Can someone with both the 2016 repress and the new blue repress do a comparison? I have a 2016 repress, which to my ears sounds a little lacking in the bass department. Considering picking up a new copy if the quality is noticeably better.

New music... new album this year.

..aaand another. Too lazy to bother getting the right artwork. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hopesfall-Satellite-Years-Vinyl-/252730380077?&_trksid=p2056016.m2518.l4276 "Hardcore"

this.

Jurassic 5 - Feedback

I just checked the amazon listing... the description has been updated to "Colored vinyl and stickers" and the item is listed as unavailable still. I guess that means they've reviewed it and we'll be getting vinyl. Stoked. Also, got an email this morning saying the dispatch date has been pushed back till late Jan.

I just want a copy of this that is reasonably priced... It's annoying that the release date on the single LP version on Music Direct is still TBA. I have emailed them to ask if it is going to be released at all... https://www.musicdirect.com/vinyl/nirvana-incesticide-vinyl-lp

Bundle ordered! Can't wait for the new album also, hear some good things

For those of you that ordered the special edition from the UK site and had it shipped internationally, which company did they use? I have a tracking number, but both links to the tracking website in the email are duds (https://emea.netdesp - this provided link is doesn't work, and the built in button on the email simply googles my tracking number ). I would be keen to try and track it.

I ordered on the 10th of October... still waiting on a shipping notice.

I caved and picked up the special edition. My white copy sounds pretty horrendous on Side C, so I will play the AMSP lottery and hope the special edition copy is better. Bonus, here's a great version of The Numbers:

I revisited this album a while back and I am really feeling Rubicon, my favourite on this album and think it stands alongside solid tracks off other albums.

For those of you that have spun the special edition pressing... How does it sound? Does it suffer from the pressing issues the white and standard did? (especially on side c)

Calm down meow

Man... I got here too late for this party
