Yup Yup. Thanks as always Jason. I think you own quite a few records that used to be mine .

Not my fault you have good taste in music that I also happen to share  

Just now, Thomas³ said:

Yup. If Wolves Jacket is fucked up, so I got it cheap ($10), so I'll let it go for the same. I'll send you some pictures if you're concerned about a nice jacket.

I can live with it. Helps you out and I get two albums I don't have to order from Germany and risk damage in transit. I'll just let you know when I can shoot you the funds. Thanks duder!

Which? And no prob holding it. Probably going to be lazy on setting up a sale thing anyway. I love the albums, just never listen to the vinyl. I like my post-rock complete, without the breaks of flipping. Maybe I'm just weird.

I only saw Monochrome in your for sale list, but if you are letting go of If Wolves also, I will take them both from you.

Thinking of unloading a lot of post-rock records (Caspian off limits) if anyone wants to peep the list. Will hook you fools up.

Yo, lemme get that Kokomo homie g! Hold on to it for me til after Xmas pleeeeease?

Hahaha... I have never stopped listening to them. 

 

I still have the Seraphim Fall to post along with its test press haha. I could post the 7" s as well,  though I am missing 1 7" variant and the test presses for those singles.

I hate that you get so involved with new stuff coming out or shifts in your own personal taste that you can forget or let such gems of the past get stored away while being in plain sight the whole time. Their albums have been in my CD case since first buying them back in the 90's, but when you get to where you have 65 thousand plus files on your music drives, some of the best stuff sits and waits it's turn a lot.  Eucharist will always be my personal favorite song though, both the slower version for Eclectic & the faster more strained version on Entheogen. Post away sir, gives me great memories from my much more careless days

Man, I love that 90's hardcore drum tone so much. 

Me too!! It makes everything sound so much tighter. Just that "snap"... nothing sounds like that now

I don't have to work until 3 so I'm catching up on laundry and spinning records, I should probably wrap christmas presents but I'm so unmotivated

Was the weather what kept you off work yesterday? And I gotta wrap presents to, but gotta wait for the GF to go in to work tonight so I can do it sneaky style lol

Morning all. You need to stop posting all those record porn pics on my IG feed @GHOSTDRONES. First thing I see is ANOTHER Bloodlet record this morning. I'm seriously about to scope you out for a huge robbery lol. I have listened to Entheogen more in the last two weeks than I have in 10 years. Oh how I had forgotten about how that Piccolo snare drum snap was the brand marker for 90's hardcore!

No, he's the "can you do this, I like it like this, I don't know why this happened"...dude you're not an artist, just relax and let the professional do their job mang

What equates to the patients my girl says drive her nuts with "it'd be really nice if my pillows were over there" instead of just being happy they aren't on a vent.. lol

Cursive is so good.

I couldn't quite put my finger on why I liked them when I first heard Ugly Organ, but then I heard such a heavy influence from The Cure's Kiss me Kiss me Kiss me in my head, I dunno, fight me lol.  Either way, they are great for sure. Oh, GO GET A TATTOO! Tell your car to take a holiday because you have other spending to do.

Good day all

Morning all. I still have yet to take the step and get any tattoos, even though I've wanted some for years.

Taco King & I discussed my next piece which will be a mash up combining two great things... Garbage Pail Kids with Every Time I Die lyrics. It's a win/win situation

29 year old me tried to buy tickets to see their reunion in Boston but ticketmaster was fucked up and we just couldn't get our order to go through. My girlfriend even called. Then tickets sold out. 30 year old me is still bummed.

 

Now Robotic Empire needs to repress Canada Songs.

I got lucky enough to catch them in a small venue years back with The Locust. Needless to say I couldn't hear so well for days afterward... And by all means, SOMEBODY repress Canada Songs!! It's total crap to have such high aftermarket prices on such short songs..

I believe it shares the same cart as the 2m red if you happen to have one.

Unfortunately I do not. I've been using the OM series for a while now, and was thinking of going to the 2m, but found that I could get a bronze level styli replacement for $219 to go with my current cart, so I took that route.

Pm'd

I was giving the IBS label, just because they could never find a true answer. My dad has Crohns, so it's always worried me I might.

 

Totally probably have the flu. Just was a awoken by vomiting, and a really achy body.

Hope you feel better soon T3. I know we have different health issues, but damn do I feel like you carry them constantly like I do without relent. Be careful driving in that shitty weather too!

Edit: Also, after searching those links you sent me, I basically got what was equal to a 2M Bronze for $219 from LP Gear by getting an OM 30 tip for my cart. I could care less if the tip is black and the body is grey, all I care about is the tones! 

1 minute ago, Thomas³ said:

There ya go, more money for records. Lossless compares show you it for sure.

It's like $80 less for an OM 30 than a Bronze styli. Comparatively, the OM 40 levels with the black, and the price difference is over $225 less... enough said

You have to remember you're losing a lot to youtube compression on those comparison videos too

This person had lossless files so I downloaded them to listen to. Just found this too:

"The Omega basically is just a renamed OM family model comparable to the OM3E or OM5E, but in grey - so you can use all replacement/upgrade needles for the OMs. Top needle would be the 40, which is on comparable quality level as the 2M Black"

Now to find a stylus and just keep my cart to save $$. Happy me

Jason, just read that the Omega is the same body as most of the OM line of carts. That means you can grab any OM stylus (OM10 - OM40) and improve your sound without having to buy a new cart. The OM10 is a red, OM20 is blue, etc. You can also buy 3rd party styli, like the JICO OM30, for cheap. 3rd party stylus seem to have longer cantilevers, so you'd need to realign the cart. accordingly. I recommend double checking alignment after a stylus change anyway, but usually official ones should be exactly the same.

 

JICO OM30 $66, ships from their factory in Japan.

LPGear selection of Ortofon Styli

$17ppd Pfanstiehl stylus people give some praise. Cantilever looks longer, so will needs alignment adjustments. Worth a shot for the price.

I watched some videos on Youtube last night and read up on the difference and such and found out what mass my tonearm is. The one that stuck out for sure was the Super OM 30.  I could tell how much separation there was between Elvis' vocals (the example in said video), and the background singers and band. The Super OM 30 equates to the Bronze from what I read, and it seems the Omega cart is the best weight for my table's arm (12 grams), so I think I'm gonna grab one of those. Shitty thing is they are discontinued now I think, so thanks for the links. I did see a video where one guy has two different OM 20's and one is way louder than the other is, and the cantilever is shorter in the louder one. I couldn't honestly tell much difference between an OM 5 or OM 10, but OM 20 I could hear a difference, but then the 30 just jumped out immediately.

I was woken up at 6am by a car crash outside my house, and I can't fall back asleep. There is not even an inch of snow out, so someone must really not know how to drive.

I used to live right beside an intersection of a four way stop light & got woken up endlessly by wrecks. I watched one of my friends wreck there coming to my apartment once while just standing outside lol

@GreatGreenOne77 how convenient. 

Just the stylus though  I need the cart to go with it as well.

If you ever upgrade your table you can always transfer the blue to it.

Oddly enough the speakers are more important than the table, as is the cart. As long as it operates well, like tracking is good and it doesn't weigh down on the record, who cares. So yeah, get that nice blue and see what you've been missing. Even if it's only a $45 table, it'll sound niceeeeeeee.

I was just thinking that too. All together, $300 in a quality table & cart combo isn't really a lot in the grand scheme of things. Since getting new speakers did make a big difference, the cart needs to be upgraded so I will just go ahead and make the leap. Thanks for the advice @Dave Grohl!

Get the 2m blue. It's well worth the price difference from the red.

Between you & T3, I trust anything you guys recommend. Now to deal with the mental idea of a $250 cart on a $45 Turntable lol

Technics are great tables, and I doubt upgrading to any modern entry level table will be any better. 

You're right there, the only reason I can legitimize when I think of replacing my table is purely based on my eye for aesthetics. There's nothing I complain about as far as functionality, ability to keep timing correctly, and general sound etc. I think it being silver against all my other black components is the biggest bitch to me, but that's my OCD for ya...lol
