  1. I have an SL-3200. It's solid as hell from what I can tell. The person I got it from had it since it was new and had taken very good care of it. I cleaned and serviced it when I got it, which didn't take much honestly. I had a friend who does electronics repair switch out the factory RCA outputs for a short set of females to allow me the option of whatever length chord I want on it and it's self grounded now so no more extra wire hanging out of the back to control it's distance from the amp. After upgrading the cart, my only real want is to get an integrated amp and do away with my receiver since I don't need a radio tuner at all.
  2. I do like my Omega, but I can see more & more where it lacks in mid and high ranges with certain records in particular. I was thinking of jumping to the 2M red to see what it has to offer and then if I want I can just grab another stylus to try the blue out down the road if I'm impressed. I would like to try an AT cart but am afraid of the brightness that has been described repeatedly, and the stories of "the Grado hum". Sucks not having any place near me that sells high end audio equipment so I can go demo some before making such a huge cash leap. Hell, a 2M red will be more than I paid for my TT itself...
  3. I'm so torn in which direction to step considering this is a costly upgrade to be unhappy with if I make the wrong choice. Getting a deal would certainly soften that blow
  4. Pretty sure my next upgrade will be a new cart. So unsure of which direction to go with this decision... Endless choices & opinions
  5. Good day all. I swear if this year doesn't hurry up and end without taking one more great musician with it, I'm just gonna lose my shit. Now Greg Lake too. Those first two King Crimson albums are like bibles to me in a silly sort of way. So heavy, yet right at the dawn of heavy & progressive music's big push through's into the mainstream.
  6. Sorry to tell you buddy, but the girlfriend says it can the same way a lung will collapse again after it's happened once already. If you had an appendectomy you would have been out of the hospital faster!
  7. Always shoot for the "Hey guy" or "Buddy!" thing when forgetting family members lol
  8. I've had dinner with a whole group of Scottish people and had no trouble understanding them, but he's speaking some bastardized form of English/Cockney with a Scottish accent lol Edit: "Garble garble, fuck off! Garble garble...
  9. All these years later, and I still have trouble understanding what Wattie says. His accent is just so thick!
  10. I hold the spot as "The only child in my family with no children". I feel like it's a trophy or something lol Edit: Starting my Saturday off watching UK/DK @GHOSTDRONES after all the Oi! talk yesterday
  11. Morning all This year needs to hurry up and be done with already. Can't wake up a single day without someone of worth being gone now.... The Business was definitely among the most listened to groups in my teens right next to The Exploited.
  12. ER folks did the contrast dye/CT Scan thing to diagnose me when I was in for mine.
  13. Hey Tina! Your IG keeps me confused as to where you are, but I love the neat pictures of the Google place and the bikes and such!
  14. Don't fuck around if you are in pain my friend. When I went and had mine taken out, it was on the verge of bursting. My friend's friend had hers burst in the doctors office while she was waiting to be seen and she spent 3 months in the hospital recovering... Pain isn't a big deal to me so when I hurt, it means serious business. My hardheaded ass knew it was time to go when I said "ok, this is too much" Edit: Also, they give you lots of Valium :)))))))))
  15. Happy holiday folks Where I get bogged down and lazy is when trying to put in something really common like a Van Halen record so you are stuck reading runout matrix imprints to assure you are adding the correct thing... Bill Callahan soundtrack looks good, but of course my local won't have it... I really want that Jane Doe but right, $20 just feels like a waste for a shirt to me... perhaps I am just getting cheap in my aging process lol
  16. Thank you both for mentioning this and for throwing the link to it up. This is perfect morning chill music for sure...
  17. Honey White is my jam! Sucks the singer died so no chance of a reunion of them amongst all these other half ass 90's acts doing tours for money now
  18. Yea, I have to applaud your tolerance for the length of time I've been here and heard about what you put up with. I hated the phone like it was my worst enemy when I was working pizza places still because people have no idea how much of your time it takes away from helping another person that knows what they want or is already waiting on food.
  19. Morning folks. Cool waking up to a surprise sale on Discogs for more than $50 to someone in China who actually paid already. I thought for sure it was a lottery scam at first lol
  20. I can't really put into words how it felt to be able to just go get what I wanted when I wanted. And to have 70 strains sitting out in front of me was mind blowing for real...
  21. Back in from Denver folks. Fun time, but damn am I worn out. Easily figured out why everyone there is skinny. Shins splints are kicking my ass today, but if I could walk to that diner with the most amazing pancakes ever, I'd do it without thought!
  22. I can imagine the return will be a nightmare for at least a few days. The time change last weekend has me screwed up bad enough already.
  23. Morning or afternoon all. My time zones are fucked now because I landed in Denver and am all discombobulated. Traveling folks, how long will this last?
