One piece of constructive criticism -- I'd rather hear you open the pipes a little bit. Don't think I could repeatedly listen an album of what sounds like someone whispering to me. Maybe more "range" is the musically proper way to put it?

 

Other than that, sounds bad ass. Probably would have guessed it was made by a professional musician.

 

To me it sounded like the vocals needed to be compressed a bit (or a bit more if they are already), maybe we're noticing the same thing? But yeah really good otherwise, that was the only thing I didn't like.

They just repressed it, what does availability have to do with anything?

They'd charge $500 a copy if we let them. Funny to watch all the record labels scrambling to kill the vinyl market all over again. I've been passing on so many things I was waiting for lol

Is the chores part real? Who would want a band they're fans of to come do their dishes and shit? I'd be so uncomfortable

"but then it's like i realized like.. it's like"

Sounds like no plans to carry this in your shop morfiend?

hm this band sure knows how to music

The whole package is important, I look at big record purchases like these as investments, I store them well and play them carefully. And I'm well aware of the whole deja bowl thing, honestly didn't understand why people made it out to be such a big deal (it's insane how long that thread is) People can do with their own records what they please I really couldn't care less.

 

But I definitely wouldn't call this "bitching" in fact beyond the first post I haven't really complained, only elaborated on what my plans are for refund etc

 

Please don't look at records like investments lol. The $400 you have tied up in a copy of deja is gone as soon as they decide to repress it or the vinyl fad loses steam on tumblr etc. It has virtually no instrinsic value, it's 2 hunks of plastic and some cardstock.

She's already buying records back (on ebay no less) after this sob story of a thread of how she lost everything? Sounds like she's doing fine if she's already back to collecting.

I mean at least they're not trying to peddle luxury tea with the overpriced represses of their former glory. But still, pass.

Test press /100? I think I'd call that a variant lol

Edit: LP on its own up now too http://awesomedistro.com/bsm-artist-talons/Talons_New_Topographics_LP.html

Ordered, can't wait.

57 minute running time on a single LP, hmm :/

Same here, for about a week, but in Firefox only. Chromium is still fine for me. Clearing the cache didn't help.

 

I love some of the "advice" given on this board.

 

 

Super helpful.

Disregard the post above mine, because it is absolutely false.

 

If the only thing you need is to add volume control, then you shouldn't really be looking at an amplifier/receiver. You'll pay for a bunch of other functionality you don't need, plus more importantly you'll need new speakers, unless that amp has a pre-out section.

 

The best thing you can do is add a passive volume control, something like this: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/sm-pro-audio-nano-patch-passive-volume-attenuator

 

I like how that volume attenuator looks. I've got one of these: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/rolls-mx28-mini-mix-vi. Lets you mix a couple other audio outputs as well, plus ports for headphones. Uglier than the nano patch though

 

 

I also didn't know if using a receiver like the Onkyo I mentioned above would maybe make it sound better than just going through the preamp on the turntable thats why I was looking into getting it.

 

I can't speak on that receiver's quality or anything, but either way it looks like you'd need passive speakers in order to use it (like slinch said). Since your speakers are active, they include amplifiers. The receiver you linked also has an amp. Neither seems to have a way to bypass the internal amp (well the receiver does have a pre-out for the subwoofer but that's not helpful here) so you'd end up with double amplification, which is no good.
