Anyone who’s been collecting for 20 years should’ve known what a black pink and yellow merge/swirl was gonna end up looking like lol
THIS.
Hence why I went with the split variant, because I knew it was going to be the safest (and in my opinion) better looking variant... One look at the merge mock up and I knew there was no way in hell it would ever turn out like that!

Probably gonna get a lot of hate for this but I feel like people will back any new Blink stuff regardless of how underwhelming it is just because it's back to Mark, Tom and Travis... "Edging" was pretty cringeworthy to say the least and both new songs they released today aren't anything special to write home about, though both are lightyears ahead of the first single, that's for sure... I feel like Blink kinda fell off after TOYPAJ, but that's just my shitty opinion 💁♂️ Wish that was the Blink we were getting back after this many years later - but it doesn't appear so

Killer turn around time! These came out great and sound even better!

Are tix going to be through Ticketmaster or other ticketing sites?
Might be different from venue to venue... but I'm hitting up the show in Austin @ Emo's and all their tickets are sold through Front Gate Tickets.

Longshot, but anyone not super impressed with their Whirlpool variant that might want to trade for a Color in Color copy?
Would be willing to send pics and cover shipping as well.
Thanks!

After ditching the idea of purchasing a whole new record player, I decided to treat myself to a new needle instead given how well my Project Debut III has treated me these past 10 years... I decided to upgrade the needle from a previously installed Ortofon OM20 to an Ortofon OM30... same cartridge I've been using and everything, so the switch out was incredibly easy... However, I've noticed since my upgrade, the cartridge appears to be sitting a lot lower than when I had my OM20 installed... I've recalibrated the tone arm several times and have the tracking set at 1.5 grams which is Ortofon's preferred setting for this needle... Does this look normal? Is the cartridge sitting lower because of the OM30 having a finer needle? I believe tracking force for the OM series is between 1.2 - 1.75 grams so I could always toggle that and see if it makes a difference, but have read I might be sacrificing sound quality if doing so, which kinda defeats the purpose of spending $300 on my replacement. Just looking for any input or if I may have received a bunk product... Thanks!

I'm usually not too bothered by these, but it's just been happening a lot to me lately. The first record I've ever bought without any intention of playing or selling - a signed copy of The Hum Goes on Forever - arrived from Looney Tunes with a massive bend on the jacket. Like shit, man... literally any other record but that one... Then these. I've bought records with VG/G jackets that look as good if not better than some of these I've been getting lately. This was after a year to a year and a half of pretty good luck with the post office.
Don't want to get too off topic, but one more post office anecdote: the day before the shitty MxPx luck, I had Stay What You Are from Amazon get delayed at the Amazon warehouse. Finally arrives yesterday, box slashed, with the record stolen. Excited to see what shenanigans await me with my next package.
After pretty good luck, it's reverting to the mean...
Damn... talk about a string of bad luck
Sorry to hear that brother...
If it's any consolation, I reached out to the MxPx store and they are sending me new jackets!
So might be worthwhile to send them an email and see if they can hook you up as well

Just got these and the packing job could've been better. They're all bent or smashed along the top left corner and there are seam splits on every sleeve. Kind of annoying, but what can you do..
Definitely agree. I ordered all 3 records and all of them arrived with pretty gnarly corner bends and dents, and 2/3 of the jackets had seam splits up top... Super bummed to say the least. I messaged the MxPx Shop in attempt to secure some replacement jackets but haven't heard back yet... hoping for the best!

I feel like such a fool missing out on the group buy for this one
Was really hoping some variants would pop up in the US but the only release out there that I saw was for Revolver and Brooklyn Vegan... which ending up selling out rather quick... probably going to have to bite the bullet and just order from Redcreek... all the variants look too beautiful to pass up!

You may potentially hear a difference going from the Phono Box to the Tube Box, as tubes give a different sound. The bigger question is, will you like it? I demoed a tube preamp and a solid state, and I personally was not a fan of the sound tubes gave. The Debut Pro looks really nice, so enjoy it when you get it!
Hey hey!
Thanks for the reply
Never even thought of that actually, so appreciate you bringing it up!Will have to see if I can test a pre-amp tube box out in the wild prior to ordering online...
Because I like my record player sounding nice and crisp,And based off what I'm seeing review wise,
Tubes give off a much warmer sound which I'm not really looking for...In the meantime though I think I'll be ordering the Pro and just using my current equipment until the time comes where I feel an upgrade is truly necessary.
Thanks! -

why dont you upgrade the platter to acrylic, upgrade the cart to a 2mblue and get a platter puck?
the tubes look cool as hell but will you notice a difference in sound between the current phono box, phono box s2 or the tube box?? probably not ...
is there a reason you dont use the sony's phono input?
those polks are nice.. have you considered adding an active woofer into the mix???
Hey hey! Thanks for the reply
I probably should have mentioned in my original post that I have already upgraded to the acrylic platter and switched the original stylus / cartridge out to an Ortofon Super OM20 which I've been using for the past ~5 years or so... I guess that's one of my reasons for wanting to upgrade since I've had the Debut III for so long and have pretty much gotten my fair share out of it... not to mention I just think the Debut Pro looks so damn sexy!
Solid remarks though in regards to the pre-amps... other than the huge difference in price and how cool and sleek most of them look, I'm sure the actual upgrade in sound is probably very minimal... Given how my current setup is though, I unfortunately can't use my Sony's preamp because of limited space and the placement of my record player, not to mention the extremely short hardwired audio cables / grounding wire...
Also appreciate the recommendation of adding an active woofer to my speakers... never gave that a thought before but will definitely look into it!
Appreciate it!

So the time has come that I'm finally due for an upgrade given I've had my Debut III for about 10 years now and am ready to sell it and get myself something a wee bit nicer and pricier... Given I've had close to zero issues with my current player I was looking at upgrading to the Pro-ject Debut Pro along with a new pre-amp... Below is my current setup and what I am looking at upgrading to...
Current Set-up / Upgrade:
* Pro-ject Debut III (Upgrading to Project-Debut Pro)
* Pro-ject Audio Phono Box (Upgrading to Project Tube Box S2)
* Sony STR-DH190 Receiver
* Polk Audio T-50 Speakers
My main question is really in regards to the new pre-amp I am wanting to purchase... Is that too much or too high quality for the setup I'll be working with, and if so, should I possibly settle on something a bit cheaper like the Pro-Ject Phono Box S2? Possibly any other recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Thinking about just cancelling my order at this point...
Looks like the Brooklyn Vegan / Hard Times variant has been pushed to 8/5 now 😑

So did this go live early? I went on lunch just before 11 EST and the PN1 is gone already.
Super early apparently... I was on the site @ 9:45 CST and they were already gone...

Got this in the mail a couple days ago and was amazed at how beautiful it looked... even better then the mock-up! Just got around to finally playing it after a thorough cleaning and can’t believe how horrible it sounds ☹️ Had some pretty gnarly surface noise throughout about half (if not more) of the album it’s almost un-listenable. What a bummer. Anyone else have this experience with their pressing?
