And pockets glued shut.

I have a question for the master vinyl collector, how do you know when you’ve reached the MAXIMUM level of pretentiousness?

You’re an asshole.

That is the worst album cover I've ever seen. Period. It has cancelled ANY desire I had in checking out the album.

What was the pricepoint on that? Never mind, I seen now. Thanks for the post!

Thank you. I'll double check the wires under the arm, but I'm pretty sure they're all secured. The weight of the magnets helped balance out the tone arm for sure. I was more worried about magnifying the wires inside the tone arm. The magnets are very small, smaller than a watch battery, BUT they're VERY strong. I just wanted to make sure a magnet couldn't flat out ruin a cartridge.

That's definitely a good idea. Thank you.

Aah, I see. It certainly was not instantaneous. It was a slow build for sure. Ground wire was not the issue.

Hey guys, I own a Pro-Ject Debut III. I upgraded to a 2M Red cartridge but the new cartridge is too heavy for my counterweight so I stuck some magnets on the back of the counterweight to balance things out. Fast forward a month later, I now have a the MOTHER of all hums coming out of my speakers, my turntable is completely unlistenable. Ive ordered some new RCA cables to see if that fixes the problem, but im wondering if I fucked everything up with those magnets. Anyone out there have a firm grasp on the science of magnets and turntables that could tell me for sure? Thank you in advance, Chuck.

3-5 test pressing come with any vinyl order. Additional test pressings should only be $2-$5 each, from what I hear.

Unless the other test presses were destroyed, there is/are more than one copy out there. The pressing plant would of made 3-5 copies minimum per order. It would be unwise to press a run of vinyl only relaying on the playback of just one test press.

Anyone sign up for the Joyful Noise VIP 7" series? I noticed there are grooves on the B-Side under the silk screened image on that Melvins 7". Looks like more than one track too. I wonder what's hidden under that paint?

OH DUDE! What a treat it must be hearing these songs. That was such a strong time in Clutch's career. All three of those hidden tracks are killer.
