The debut has hardwired RCA cords coming out of the turntable. The carbon did away with that. The carbon comes with a better cartridge, and a better tone arm. From what I've read, had I had the option between the debut III and the carbon I would have chose the carbon for the extra $50-$75. Still curious about the essential though. Other than the cart, what is worse than the debut?

I can appreciate that ajxd knows what he's talking about, but that's like saying you need to own a ferrari to go pick up groceries (not the best analogy). Sometimes lab grade solution and a $500 dollar machine is beyond the means of the casual listener. And while a RCM would be the ideal, there are economical options that will clean your records, be better than playing a dirty record, and won't trash your vinyl. My cleaning solution consists of this. 8 parts distilled water. [$3-$5] 1 part iso prop alcohol. Buy the highest % you can (don't by the 70% get 90+%) [~$3] 2 small drops of dye/fragrance free dish soap (I think I use Green Works brand) [~$3] For the records I use: An osage record brush [$20] - http://www.soundstage.com/editrl/pics/200805_osage_brush.jpg A Label Saver [$50] - http://www.stephsrecordsale.com/images/groovmaster.jpg I spoke with the creator of the osage brush at length about cleaning after reading numerous threads on Audio Karma where the advice ranged from 'soap and tap water' to something ajxd would approve of. With most things you get what you pay for. Obviously cleaning a dirty used bin LP with a RCM and ajxd's solution would be the best way to go, but its not the only way to get a clean record in a manner that isn't going to degrade the quality of it.

I have a debut and love it. I was going to recommend it to a friend but noticed they recently came out with the essential which is even cheaper. I was just wondering if anyone as any experience with the essential of if they have compared the two.

When can we expect some new material from Creepoid. hasn't the LP has been out now for about a year?

If it doesn't come with one, you can easily find an aftermarket for most popular brands.

^^Awesome!

Hit up In vinyl we Trust. He may not have it now, but he tries to work with customers. I know I would love to pick that LP up for IVWT prices.

I wonder how many photos didn't make the cut.

Yeah its one of those 90's worker jackets. The tape is their split with Mr. Nobody . There's also a button/pin on the max colby split.

just put a couple of heavy books on top. Why mess around with laying records on their sides.

Love the songs on this, glad I scored one.

Anyone going to Sonic Boom that wants to help me out PM me. I'd like to score the METZ/Fresh Snow 7" and they are only selling it at sonic boom. Will pay in advance and all that jazz. thanks

stbreak did a really good job hosting this. In future episodes I'd like to see a track listing in the info box.

went last time last year and hated the experience. There have only been a handful of releases that I've wanted to buy the entire time that its existed. That being said the owner of the local shop says that this one day basically pads their account for the entire year. So that allows crowd-hating-debbiedowners like myself to dig through the crates on a tuesday afternoon.

great record and they were great live.

yeah but if you release a one sided 12" you can charge double digits for it, but with a 7" there is a bit of a price ceiling. yay money!

uh oh here comes the ever sacred private info that can easily be found anywhere.

I don't know about how sturdy they are but at only 13" tall you may run into problems with gatefolds or non-standard packaging

what about the split with shores?

Ordered the Logs LP, so happy it finally got pressed.

If you don't want to fuss with used and want a great out of the box player than yes.

I'm using the Cambridge 640P with my debut and love it. I think you can pick them up at amazon for around $180.

chances are they wouldn't know either. That release was quite the cluster back in the day.
