Take a look at the offerings from Benchmark. You can usually find them for a bit less than 1k for the USB models. Additionally the BMC PureDAC is quite nice as well, but a bit redundant considering it already has a headphone amp built in. There are a couple benchmarks on USAM and CAM at the moment but most have single ended amps.

Quite surprised they arent doing a limited clear variant. Will probably pick up the RT version!

My white copy from Neurot showed up today. Sounds great! Lots of low end. Can only imagine what the 2x45 sounds like. Since I didnt spoil any of it with leaks, I hope to track down a euro press to compare. Interestingly, the gatefold is reversed.

So stoked for this! Went to highschool with like half the band.

Fuck that looks soooo much better than the splatter

Showed up early! Gatefold is reversed for the flow of the artwork. Splatter looks meh. Will comment on quality in a bit.

I've only spoiled about 30ish minutes via spotify. Yeah, even though its one song, it doesnt really feel any different than other BW albums considering they flow together so well, which is a good thing to me. I think it will be far more digestible on vinyl, but curious to see how the transitions between sides are. My copy should be here on Tuesday!

No idea. Never checked on that, honestly.

My copy showed up on Monday. Happy to say it is not warped at all. Came with a bonus poster too! Although I am thoroughly burnt out on this record, it does sound quite nice on vinyl and am happy to finally own it physically.

Dang wish I had the cash right now. I have I think everything he has put out so far!

Grabbed the bundle! So long $80.....

Totally agree. Never seen one quite like it. Sounds great too.

My splatter showed up today! It's not so much of a splatter, rather just the pellets scattered about.

Disregard that. Didnt like the zip code with the addition 4 digits at the end. Scored the splatter!

Matador store is telling there are no shipping quotes available at this time. Tried in both FF and Chrome. What am I missing here?

Hope this sticks around for a bit. Too many preorders in the past few days!

With fall approaching, its getting a bit bleaker with Primitive Man's new release Caustic. https://store.relapse.com/item/52920 The deluxe edition sports a patch that literally doubles the shipping cost....sigh. Went for the merge instead which is going fast!

I am guessing it was /100 or maybe 50. I saw PF's facebook post 8 min after they posted it and it was already sold out. Crazy!

New Bell Witch album is up at Profound Lore. Quite a few variants, though the red spatter is already sold out! High hopes for this one. https://profoundlorerecords.merchtable.com/music/pre-order-bell-witch-mirror-reaper-2xlp-ships-week-of-oct-20th-2017#.WYiMAVGGOUk

Finally had a chance to spin this guy and it sounds great! Very little surface noise. Normally I get kinda bummed when a splatter is as subtle as this one, but in this case, it works really well.

Received mine yesterday, but didnt have any time to spin it. Will do so tonight!

Looks like its back down again. Variant was /500.

Band Store is up and their exclusive is coke bottle clear. So far KMR Eu is my fave.

I got an email as well. I bough the cassette version and the email stated that since it took so long, they were throwing in an additional cassette of new/unreleased HKE material. The wait has certainly been ridiculous though.

Same! Super stoked to have a special A&S piece in the collection.
