It's miserable because we're the only ones allowed to touch the boxes they're in.

I'm packing all of this up today for a move. Oof. 

Don't ever fall down those stairs.

They can leave negative if you cancel the order, but not if they just decide not to play.
Worst negative feedback I have got on there was from a buyer who played the record at the wrong speed and then tried to claim I pressed the record wrong...it's crazy once he spun it at 45 rpm everything worked fine...

Yea I found his music about 3 months ago and have been obsessed. Definitely sounds like old school JVM and Bon Iver had a baby.
Hadn't seen he released a new EP though!

This topic is giving me such a woody.
 
I collected fiercely in the 1990s, in retrospect the best time possible since everybody was dumping LPs. I'd spend $100 or $200 at Jerry's in Pittsburgh or the various stores in Chicago, DC, the East Village, Vancouver, London, San Francisco ... and I'd come away with more LPs than I could carry. Sometimes I had to find a UPS drop-off before I got back on a plane. (There were no UPS Stores back then.)
 
The first of two kids arrived in 1999 and they took most of my time, so I've barely bought any vinyl in the last 15 years. But for her 17th birthday last year the older one got an RP-1 she can take to college ("university" for those outside the US), along with 50 or 60 duplicates from my stash. Seriously, nobody should leave home without Blood on the Tracks and Astral Weeks (green label, natch) at the very least. I've bought a few things here and there when I find nice stuff for less than $25 or even less than $20 per disk. (Seriously? $25 for a single LP? WTH?!)
 
I'm lucky enough to work from home, and we have a semi-finished attic, so the first shot is the view from my desk, and once or twice a day I climb into the chair to listen to one side as a break.
 
Rock and pop is on the left; jazz, blues, and a small batch of classical live on the right. We old guys have a lot of the gems, like the original Art Pepper on the rack to the left above the 'table. Warms my heart that so many youngsters are keeping vinyl alive.

By the way, the plural of vinyl is "vinyl." You no more pick up "vinyl" (with an s) than you pick up "fishes" at the market for dinner. Stop me gnashing my teeth. Please.
 
Be good, kids. Enjoy what you've got. These are good times for music, if for little else.
 
If anybody cares: VPI Aries I with Lyra Helikon cartridge, Rowland Capri preamp, Rowland 102 amp (for summer), Mac Mini file server with Schiit Modi Multibit DAC and two hard drives (one a mirror of the other, backed up every day at 4AM), Quicksilver Audio Silver Sixty mono amps with stock EL-34s (for the cool months), Scansonic 2.5 speakers, Sunfire sub, DIY DH Labs cabling throughout. CDs in the background are all ripped to the server now, along with about 2000 live shows by various groups, especially the Grateful Dead. Anybody want the little silver disks?

I bet Mr Middle Aged weed identity is LOVING that because of the delay he can have this come out on 420.

Better come with a hand rolled joint, using ryan adams' brand papers, as one of the mystery surprises.

Goodwill? You lucky bastard.

darn, i was hoping to buy that same middle cabinet - i love it! 

I figured he was talking about the cabinet in the middle.

I made a few upgrades over the weekend (mcintosh c2500 and mt10 turntable). Couldnt be happier w/ my new setup and sound!
 

 

 

 

Been meaning to do this for awhile.

Yeah I'm loving the mt10 right now. The talismann cart actually exceeded my expectations thus far. I'll post some more pics when I get home tonight! 

Actually, found it. 
 
New Release: 

Various Artists - Music from the Motion Picture Kazaam (Genie shaped glow-in-the-dark picture disc commemorating Shaq's blockbuster movie. One time pressing signed and numbered copies out of 1000, each with a Shaquille O'Neal trading card and genie plastic charm).

Love it or hate it, best thing about RSD is that it helps my local store make enough to pay their rent for a few months ensuring I have a place to pick up new releases every weekend. And if there is actually a release that I want, I just pick it up of discogs a month later.

I was lucky enough to see ryan play prisoner in full at a secret show in Manchester last night, it was absolute magic and the new songs sound great!
