  1. Good news and bad news:

    In a pretty sudden change of plans, I decided to buy a ticket to the show while in line for the popup shop, meaning I was only able to purchase a record for myself in an effort to not spend an irresponsible amount of money in the course of an hour or two. Since arenas usually put up the tickets that they held onto for promotions but never got rid of on the day of the show, I ended up getting a pretty excellent seat. Travis Scott rode a mechanical bird. I had fun.

     

    In a more unfortunate turn of events, I opened the copy of the record I purchased a couple minutes ago, only to discover that it was black, despite being red on the menu I was handed in the shop, so I guess everything worked out (?)

    I gotta ask for the red vinyl too at the pop up shop. If anyone goes to get anything could you  DM me? I just went to the pop up in Dallas and they were sold out of the red vinyl. :(

    How late in the day did you go?

     

    My friend and I are going to the Philly one tomorrow as early as we can, but if the vinyl has been selling out early it might not be worth it

  3. My b if this has already been answered, but has anybody confirmed that the retail version is black?

     

    I've seen listings for the black vinyl but no pictures of anything but the red. Thought it might be the same situation as Blank Face with people just expecting the retail to be black but it was also on the color.

     

    Feeling like a goofball for sleeping on the preorders tho

  4. I understand that this isn't necessarily a vinyl related equipment question, but I wasn't sure where else to ask it. Recently my tape deck has been letting out a high pitched buzzing/humming sound (more than normal tape hiss) when I'm playing a tape. The deck is a Sherwood (not sure of the model) that we got pre-owned and have only had it for about a year and a half, but the problem didn't start until a couple months ago, and I had been using it regularly prior and it had been doing fine. It's duel cassette, and the noise only seems to happen on the play head, but not the second play/record head, and ONLY when the tape is playing. I'm relatively new to collecting tapes, so I'm not sure if this is a common issue, and a Google search only results in links so car forums with little to no helpful information.

     

    Thanks in advance for any help!

  5. It's going to be pretty hard for anybody to answer this for you.

     

    I personaly think you would be better off spending your $ on a different integrated amp altogether, but I have no experience with your specific receiver.

     

    I'm kind of new to most of these upgrades, as I've never had the money to buy them. What would a better preamp do for me? (Sorry if this is a stupid question)

     

    And do you have any integrated amps that you could recommend? 

  6. Howdy,

     

    Right now I have a Yamaha RX-930 and a Pro-ject Debut Carbon. The RX-930 has a built in phono preamp, but I've been thinking about upgrading. 

     

    I'm looking at the $100-200 range. Would buying a new preamp be worth it? Would I get much of a difference at all in that price range?

    Y'all got any suggestions as far as model goes?

     

    Thank You.
