    Hey, wishful thinking! It's one thing for stuff to not work out and to shut down the label and another to go out as somebody who ripped off a hundred people.

    VinylGyroid reacted to The Saint in R.I.P. Transit   
    The Boston scene I grew up with is slowly fading. It's been rough. No more Therefore I Am. No more A Loss for Words, my favorite band. And now no more Transit. These guys were one of the bands that got me into the scene and punk/hardcore in general. Weird to see them all gone. I wish the guys in Transit the best of luck. Great, hard working people. I'll try and catch the NYC, CT and Boston shows if I can. Definitely Boston though.

    sorry to bump the thread, but I thought that since a lot of people were still waiting on this, if this piece of satire wasn't posted anywhere on the boards yet that this would be a good thread to post it in.

    At this point, so many people are expecting Glenn, I wouldn't be surprised if they completely flip the script on it and make it someone else. They've done it with major deaths before.

    I remember reading an interview a while back that when Andrew Lincoln read the script for the season finale, it turned his stomach. He said he had never been so surprised or uncomfortable by the outcome of the show since it started. Now while I'm not saying Abraham isn't a major character, I have a feeling it may be a more major character. Although I can definitely see them killing off Abraham as well.

    Medium Rare on the inside. Get the iron really hot and char it, then throw it in the broiler to finish super quick. Only goes in there for a few minutes. Coated in sea salt and fresh pepper. Butter and blood. Good every time.

    Just woke up after a 12 hour post-work nap, now sitting on VC with a plate full of steak (Worcestershire sauce and black pepper obviously) listening to Troye Sivan. Life is gewd.

    Also my mother and I went out to lunch for my birthday yesterday to this local spot called Osaka, it's my absolute favorite.

    VinylGyroid got a reaction from Quake1028 in Post Your Record Storage Area   
    I don't need to justify my equipment to anyone, if I knew sharing my setup here would lead to this I would have just kept it to myself. Also, it's awfully ironic that your post originally ended with "grow up" yet you're going through downvoting my posts, all because you don't approve of my record player, which led me to start downvoting yours in the first place.
    Please oh please, I beg you to reconsider purchasing my records when I inevitably put them up for sale because I absolutely need your approval and acceptance. Woof.

    Who said I planned on selling you my records though? No need for elitism.
     
     
    I'm trying... it's hard, I'm doing better lately though! I have the setup I want put together as a bundle on Turntable Lab, just to get a general price, and it comes to about $1200 before shipping. I figure I can save a few hundred if I'm able to find parts used but in acceptable condition.
     
    I know my Crosley isn't optimal, but it'll do until I can afford something better. I'm excited to finally upgrade though! The Pro-Ject Carbon definitely sounds like a great choice, I've heard it's the best audiophile quality turntable you'll get for under $1k. Any suggestions as far as amp/pre-amps go? I admit I don't really know much about them yet.
    Also, downvoting me because you don't like my record player? You're all a bunch of children lol

    VinylGyroid reacted to Sidney Crosley in Question about preamps   
    Mesi said it well - may want to think about what turntable if you're getting an integrated amp as you'd waste some of the value in getting the Denon if it already has a phono preamp.
     
    If you want to use active speakers, and add a way to use your headphones, my suggestion would be to get a Schiit Magni 2 Uber ($150 US). It is a very capable headphone amp (and I'm assuming for this you would use the preamp in the Denon for now), and use it for its outputs to the active speakers. Note: you need to get the Magni 2 Uber for the pre-outs; the Magni 2 doesn't have that.

    Seriously, don't get that Denon. I think 5 people have mentioned this to you now. Its a seriously weak link. Especially putting a $200 cart on it.

    Your bigger problem if you are getting the Marantz is that it won't work with your Audio Genie's unless you use the pre out on the Marantz which would be pointless.
     
    Both have power amplifiers in and you cant connect one after the other without making smoke.
     
    If you are getting the Marantz then get proper passive HiFI speakers and a better turntable and you will have a half decent system
