Vagrant 25 Years Vinyl Represses
julien replied to hyperg1ant's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I really want a copy of Major/Minor but wouldn't mind saving some $$$ for a black copy. Did all of the previous releases end up with retail versions? -

Same here, reassuring as I would be extremely bummed if it got lost in transit -

It looks like there is an indie exclusive white variant https://www.instagram.com/p/CRT2h0HqlZc/ -
I recently put a Nagaoka MP-110 on my Pro-Ject debut carbon to replace my original Ortofon Red. Overall very happy about it, love how it sounds. It is very prone to clicks which is unfortunate, but I'm starting to think that it may be due to a bad setup. I noticed it was running low but didn't overthink it, until I noticed some scratches on a record. the cartridge ends up touching records that are not completely flat which is super worrisome. Any idea of what may be happening? I balanced the tone-arm and also used a scale. Tried a few settings between 1.5 and 2 with no luck. I don't remember my Ortofon retracting at all when touching a record, while Nagaoka's stylus goes in. Is it normal? You can also find a video here, Thank you!

Update: just installed it and I'm really enjoying it so far. It's not a fair comparison since my Ortofon Red was definitely too old but Hail To The Thief sounds fantastic as a first record. Can't wait to see what happens after the 30-hour break in. It was little bit intimidating changing it on the debut carbon, the pins from the Ortofon Red got stuck on the connector when disconnecting it. After a little patience everything went well. Great deal, highly recommend pro-ject users to consider it instead of only looking at Ortofon.

Thanks for the info. I think a learning is that I shouldn't have waited so long to change my stylus. I find it a bit annoying that with Ortofon, for the Blue the stylus is $204 and the whole cartridge is $239 more (only ~$30 difference), while with Nagaoka the cartridge is $150 and the stylus replacement only $70. I think it's more customer friendly to have a stylus replacement half the price of the whole cartridge (and I like that the math persists with their higher models too). Does the warmness and musicality of the Nagaoka impact the overall definition / separation of the instruments? I think I got used to hearing musing through the Ortofon Red, but I'm excited about a change.

Thank you for the info! I would change the whole cartridge if I went to the Bronze, surprisingly the price difference stylus vs whole cartridge is pretty small. Do you have any other recommendations? I naturally looked into Ortofon since this is the cartridge I currently have but I'm definitely open if there is other interesting options a bit cheaper than the Bronze. Thanks for the link I wasn't familiar with them, they seem to carry a ton of great brands! I originally got my pro-ject at TurntableLab.

Hi there, I think it may be time to change the stylus from my pro-ject debut carbon which I have been using daily since 2015 as I just noticed a few skips on records that never had some in the past. Any recommendations of stores that have sales including Ortofon? I'm thinking of upgrading from the Red to the Bronze. Open to other recommendations too. Thanks!

PO: My Bloody Valentine - Loveless and Isn't Anything
julien replied to SeanPuffy's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
It looks like they are re-adding stock every day in their official store. I have been able to order Isn't Anything Deluxe a few hours ago. Shipping from the UK unfortunately but I'll take it. Cancelled my Fnac order (they seem to have 999+ available so I can feel it getting cancelled). -

julien replied to SeanPuffy's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Thanks! I didn't think of checking the website. Dispatched on the 15th too, I don't feel so lonely anymore. Since I only ordered the Loveless bundle I wouldn't mind about one of the Isn't Anything test press. -

Thank you so much for the heads up about the Vitus show, I kept looking at the venue page every day for an announcement and would have totally missed it without your post. Doesn't seem like the venue is going to announce it just yet. -
