    fuckinandsuckinandtouchin got a reaction from hunterwasser in post your set-up thread   
    My girlfriend and I moved into a new place last month and I set everything up a few weeks ago after my new turntable came in.  Sounds great!
     
    Admittedly, I was using a Crosley prior to this.  I bought it years ago (2005, 2006?) and it wasn't doing the job.  I've been buying records since then, but couldn't sit back and enjoy them much because of the constant skipping and overall bad sound quality.. not to mention the damage it causes after time.    After educating myself by reading this board constantly, I ordered the U-Turn Orbit in July.  While I was waiting for the U-Turn to be delivered, I had to find a receiver and speakers as well.
     
    The Orbit was upgraded a bit to the acrylic platter and Audio-Technica AT95E cartridge.  The receiver is an Onkyo A-7022 which was made in Japan in the 70's (not sure which year to be exact) and is an integrated amp.  That was purchased on ebay for $60ppd knowing it wasn't going to power on.  For the price, I took the risk and took it to a local electronic repair shop.  He told me it was just the power supply, so it was repaired and cleaned up for about $100.  Lastly, the speakers are Pioneer SP-BS22-LR Andrew Jones speakers.  These are the ones that are usually on sale on Amazon or Newegg.  I bought the pair for $80 on Newegg, free shipping and they sound great!
     
    The shelves are Threshold brand from Target.  If anyone is in the market for shelving, I recommend these 100% especially if you don't have an Ikea close to you.  I personally was never in one, but I know most people go with their shelves.  I initially only bought the center shelf, but picked up the single shelves on each side for the speakers to keep them separate from the turntable.  Plus it gave me storage for books and cds which I needed.
     
    I found that basket at the bottom at Target, fits 7"s really well.  I saw a thread a little while ago about 7" storage and this holds 100+.

    fuckinandsuckinandtouchin got a reaction from Cloudsbelow in PO: Bush / Sixteen Stone colored vinyl repress 12/15   
    The MOV is 33 because it's a single LP.  This one is a 2XLP without any bonus tracks, so they could have cut it at 45, but decided against it for some reason.

    no, the whole mix is pretty loud.  I don't mind loud mixes, but it's distracting.. a lot of rumble if that makes sense, even with the bass turned down on my receiver.

    Anyone grab the 2xLP yet? It's a great package all around, but the sound is a little too hot.

    Just cleaned out all of my records of these things..  They're always in the way!  I can't promise these all work. I've redeemed a lot of them, but I know you get a few downloads from each card sometimes.  Some are probably old and expired.

    Admittedly, I was using a Crosley prior to this.  I bought it years ago (2005, 2006?) and it wasn't doing the job.  I've been buying records since then, but couldn't sit back and enjoy them much because of the constant skipping and overall bad sound quality.. not to mention the damage it causes after time.    After educating myself by reading this board constantly, I ordered the U-Turn Orbit in July.  While I was waiting for the U-Turn to be delivered, I had to find a receiver and speakers as well.
     
    The Orbit was upgraded a bit to the acrylic platter and Audio-Technica AT95E cartridge.  The receiver is an Onkyo A-7022 which was made in Japan in the 70's (not sure which year to be exact) and is an integrated amp.  That was purchased on ebay for $60ppd knowing it wasn't going to power on.  For the price, I took the risk and took it to a local electronic repair shop.  He told me it was just the power supply, so it was repaired and cleaned up for about $100.  Lastly, the speakers are Pioneer SP-BS22-LR Andrew Jones speakers.  These are the ones that are usually on sale on Amazon or Newegg.  I bought the pair for $80 on Newegg, free shipping and they sound great!
     
    The shelves are Threshold brand from Target.  If anyone is in the market for shelving, I recommend these 100% especially if you don't have an Ikea close to you.  I personally was never in one, but I know most people go with their shelves.  I initially only bought the center shelf, but picked up the single shelves on each side for the speakers to keep them separate from the turntable.  Plus it gave me storage for books and cds which I needed.
     
    I found that basket at the bottom at Target, fits 7"s really well.  I saw a thread a little while ago about 7" storage and this holds 100+.

    A lot of up and coming musicians including myself often wonder why they haven't made it yet. they make songs, send them to blogs, and post them up on social media but they tend to hit this glass ceiling and get stuck before they go anywhere important. i met this guy last year as a nobody who lucked out with a week on the vans warped tour and he shared some beautiful words of wisdom with me that he has been kind enough to share with the world in his latest music video. take heed, take note, listen carefully, and learn something! I present to you my new favorite artist and biggest inspiration LEON LEGACY.

    My girlfriend and I moved into a new place last month and I set everything up a few weeks ago after my new turntable came in.  Sounds great!
