I noticed colouredvinylrecords.com is not yet claimed. Anyone want to do this for Commonwealth country variants?

I was just gonna say that...

Heartbreaker and Whiskeytown's Pneumonia are my favourites for sure. With Stranger's Almanac, R Gold, and Cold Roses next, and the rest all at the bottom (I really haven't liked much about his albums since 2005 or so, barring a few songs here or there). Though I have to say, I loved listening to Live at Carnegie Hall - I think I prefer RA at his sparsest, hence my love of Heartbreaker. I also think the production on Heartbreaker is just perfect - the sparseness, and almost inaudibility of some instruments just makes it perfect for the tone of the actual songs. On RA's later stuff, I've always found the production was just a bit too plain/boring/generic. But that's just me. Anyways, I'm kind of pissed that my Heartbreaker from Amazon.ca isn't coming for 3-5 weeks...and I ordered it pretty early on .ca.

Why you all tryin' to be me? I'm more me than any of you who isn't me. #vnylfrontin

All this talk of sweet tables has me salivating....I'm a ways away from tables like this, but I'd like to think I'll get here someday! For those who are thinking about VPI tables, there's a store in Montreal with some sweet deals on floor demo models. With the conversion rates as they are, these are a steal in USD. You could probably even afford the trip to go pick up in person... http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/userads.php?user_id=39139

Not from Warehouse, unfortunately. I've ordered from .com for certain things and from certain sellers, but Amazon Warehouse doesn't sell to Canada.

Damn, K545s down to $89.31 on Amazon US Warehouse deals. Any Americans willing to have me ship these to them and then ship them to me in Canada at cost? PM me. I'm seriously considering doing that, as it would still be a heckuva lot cheaper than buying them new in Canada right now....

This.

Right now, no luck finding and good deals on AKG K545s in Canada (cheapest I've found so far runs me about $200 US or so if all duties and such are factored in). But for any Americans curious, Amazon Warehouse deals have pairs for $93US. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00FYMA7AW/ref=sr_1_4_olp?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1432600186&sr=1-4&keywords=akg+k545&condition=used Anyone know if it's possible to get these into Canada without any excessive cost? Or are there any Americans visiting Canada in a couple weeks that could bring these over the border with them (shot in the dark!)?

Sold (via Canuck Audio Mart).

But are you selling the Ted Leo album?

Legit question: is there any way to enable hashtags as hyperlinks, but only in this thread?

No, actually I do want over ears. I thought I'd want on ears for portability, but I found I can't wear them for more than 20-30 minutes. I think at this point I'm going to look for a deal for something between AKG K545, K550, K551, or K553. All look like they fit my criteria, and have great reviews. I know there was just a Massdrop on K553s, but I missed it. I'm hoping to score a deal on any of these used if I can.

Bump - lowered price considerably.

It's far from over. Many of us Nick Alt clones will be around for at least 57 more days... #vnylsforever

Wow, the K545s look like they're exactly what I need - and seem to be perfect price range (though not so much in Canada - Amazon US warehouse deals as low as $100, but seems like there's not anything on .ca as cheap - one person selling on Canuck Audio Mart though...). Thanks!

I'm having serious name-change regret. It's like I put on a Halloween costume and I can't take it off for 59 more days...' Although I'm loving my new avatar. #carpenters4life

Okay I'll have to take a look. I've never ventured into that thread - seemed to overwhelming....

I feel like we're one more Nick Alt away from a Spike Jonze movie (and if I had Photoshop skillz, I'd make a poster...)

You got me! Best part is I only now realized that I will have this name for 60 days....

Please, I've had these in my parent's basement for at least 25 years...aged like wine!

Wait...what if I send you the following albums: Perry Como - In Italy Kenny Rogers - Daytime Friends Starland Vocal Band - Afternoon Delight (warped, and missing 1/3 of front cover). Then you'll obviously know I'm the real one!

Nice try buddy. You're obviously fake, because the real email address for VYNL is: [email protected] I'm the only real Nick Alt here.

New idea: curated porn based on #vibes....

I'm bored at work. If any of you have Spotify, share a playlist of music I might not know so I can discover new bands. I'm very much an indie rock/classic folk/power pop/punk/alt country kind of guy, but I definitely listen to a whole range of music, and am quite open to just about anything. Help me and others discover new bands! I think you can link playlists through here - or tell me your user name/the name of your playlist!
