    8ight got a reaction from vinyl addict in Cleaning cat barf out of a receiver?   
    Well I don't have any experience cleaning up cat puke other than on my carpet, but if it happened to me I'd start with an electronic cleaner and a small brush. I use MG Superwash, but some 99% ISO alcohol should do the trick if you don't want to wait on shipping (I don't know of any retailers that stock the stuff). 
     
    I don't know how corrosive cat puke is, but you might need to use some DeoxIt as well. 
     
    As for the caps, the only guarantee is the to use a voltmeter. If it's been turned off (and unplugged) for a long time, you should be fine, but as I said the only guarantee is to measure them with a meter. You can discharge them with a resistor across the leads. Head over to Radio Shack and find one with a low resistance and high power rating. Maybe a 50 ohm 10W? I just wouldn't go under 1W because it could get hot. You can go higher for the resistance, but it'll just take longer to discharge. 
     
    All said, you still won't know that the caps are discharged unless you use a voltmeter.

    8ight got a reaction from Halo 2 in RSD: Expectations and Best Practices?   
    The record shop I go to is in a small college town, not near any major cities. And for me, the 'exclusive' releases are never something I need to have. So I go the day after. The records I want have always still been there the next day, and I don't have to deal with lines/crowds.

    $90 USD for a 2xLP? (edit: 3xLP?)
     
    You could buy like 4-5 albums for that price. So... I'm going to be buying 4-5 other albums I guess. Bummer; this thread had me excited for a moment.

    My parents were like that, we never discussed how much either of them made, even as I've gotten older.
    The store manager at a Target I used to work at asked me why it was so taboo here in the states for families to talk about how much the parents made, him being from Colombia said his family always shared that information
    with one another.

    Full Tortoise catalogue reissue posted on their facebook, scheduled for Jan 22. Probably relevant to everyone's interests
     
    We are very stoked that our entire back catalog of LPs is being reissued on colored vinyl!

    Nah, the record is smaller than the Ancients one. I was able to fit it in to a normal sleeve, although it is still tight.

    Well, you can prob sell that haze for more than a black would cost. Not that I'm encouraging flipping (but even if it was just for like a $5 profit). If you talk me into it maybe I'd even trade. But my black is big pimpin' so I dunno.

    Man, I don't even know why you're up-in-arms about that comment... I mean, just read the responses to this thread? I'm not trying to call anybody out, but there was no useful information given, hence my comment. Or maybe it's my fault for making a serious response in what apparently is a non-serious / troll thread? I'm not good at the internets; I'm uncool and often too serious.

    Just figured I'd let you guys know of an amazing sale I came across. Their regular prices are already discounted about 10-20%, and you can use a coupon code to get another 25% if you order is $50 or more. I just ordered 10 albums shipped for about $171.
     
    Use coupon code OCT1425
     
    I do not work for them, just wanted to share.
