FB and Instagram post said it'll most likely be in June, and he's stated he will give ample notice for when it will be up for sale.

I had moved from the Ortofon Red to the Nagaoka. The Red had a more clinical quality, whereas the Nagaoka was more laid back and warm as they say. I personally prefer the Nagaoka. I haven't heard the Blue but I imagine it has similar sonic qualities as the Red. Not to say the Red or Blue aren't good cartridges. It's mostly about personal preference and budget in this case.

I just wouldn't stack them too high, probably 3 high at the most.
Be sure to number the boxes with a collection that size.
And unless you're paying someone, you just have to resign yourself to the pain in the ass of lugging them. It is a very good feeling when you're done...haha

I would troubleshoot by first trying an RCA or USB connection.
I've come across several optical connections that don't quite snap in the way they should.

FedEx says that my Sleep Vault will be delivered 3/15.
Not sure how accurate that is but there you go.

Make sure the load switches on the bottom of the Mani are set to 47k, not 47.
You might also want to try upping the gain settings to 48 db:
Gain 1 - H
Gain 2 - L
Good luck

I'm a bit confused by this one. It was one of the Earache On Demand titles and I ordered it like 2 years ago for that. It cost more than this pre-order and I can't find anything about whether I'm getting a copy or not. Either way this has been hard to find for awhile so it's nice they pressed it.

When you order.

YES! You guys get it! You are logical beings. I love you. You guys slap! Slap me! 
 
P.S. Ironically, I got the score the the Tom Savini NotLD. I mean, it's nasty, foreboding and a GOREFEST even in the music dept. Eviscerate me! 

I was in the same situation with a similar setup. I had the Cambridge CXA60,  ProJect DC Esprit, 2M Red, and Cambridge CP1 preamp. I swapped out the preamp with a Lounge MKIII($300) and the 2M Red with a Nagaoka MP110($120). The cartridge swap was more of a parallel move but I like the Nagaoka's qualities more than the Ortofon. You may want to upgrade to the Blue. Pretty sure you can just swap out the stylus on the Red and Blue. The preamp was a definite step up.
The Esprit came with an acrylic platter and Im not convinced it's any better.
Still really liking my CXA60. 

Yup, I had tracking. 

I was being facetious. 
I totally agree with you.
People scrambling to get these records is ridiculous.

But then how am I to fill the void in my soul if not with limited, colored vinyl?
