Nice. Totally worth taking a chance. Thanks guys.

You guys are the best. Can't wait to hook my new Crosley up to some Sony boom box speakers. You think I'll need a separate phono pre (too lazy to read the beginners thread)?

Utah.

Mine arrived today. Listening now and I'm really happy! Been so long since I listened to this album and it's better than I remember and the pressing sounds great.

Pretty sure he's asked me that before...

They added more signed copies. Get yours...

Those are old models so you could look for those on eBay. The new versions are the RB202 and RB303.

Looks like anost.com still has it too.

Me too. AND speaking of Pale Ravine, I found an NM used copy at a local record store a few weeks ago for $28. Stoked.

Spinning Deaf Center's Owl Splinters while I'm working right now. I forgot just how good it is...

I snagged that last night too. Also grabbed King Woman on Red - been meaning to grab that record for a bit.

Thanks man! Moved it to a second setup in my living room.

You won't regret it. I'm listening now. It's really good.

New F.S. Blumm and Nils Frahm record available on Sonic Pieces. Get yours quick. They sell out fast. Pre-order here or here (this one comes with an instant download of the album)

With the 2M Bronze, the Bren weight and the upgraded counterweight it was just shy of $2K. Not cheap, but you could do a lot worse for the money. I'm really happy. Thanks. This room and setup are like a dream come true. It's so nice to have a completely separate place to listen and enjoy. You're excused.

Thanks! The cruise control let's you dial the speed in exactly and is much more stable. Improves it more than one would think.

Should be done with changes for bit. Thorens TD 160 Super w/ Ortofon 2M Bronze and MH Cruise Control 2.0 Rogue Sphinx V2 ATC SCM11s REL T/7i

In for clear/black.

I just added a REL T/7i to my setup. Was wanting a sub that was on par with the new ATC's. I'm in heaven.

Got some Kimber Kable 8PR cables. Surprised that I can actually hear the difference. More clarity and tighter bass. Since upgrading to the ATC's it makes hearing any upstream changes much more obvious.

Another one that's doing it for me right now is Cascadia by Madeleine Cocolas. Check it.

Anyone else been listening to Final - Black Dollars? It's stunning.

Yeah that was the "problem" with mine - it was in amazing shape! Didn't really make sense to tear apart. Would love to find a 150/160 that's beat to do some work on.

Yes. Exactly. I actually had a stock TD 160 Super that I wanted to give the Vinyl Nirvana treatment and when I started pricing out the upgrades, as well as the work involved I just decided to flip my Super (for a good profit) and buy one of his. There's no way I could have got mine to this good of a place without spending close to the same amount and screwing several things up along the way.
