Hey everyone. I'm finally going to ditch my audio technica LP60 for something better. My budget is 500 CAD before taxes. So far, I've been looking at the Pioneer PLX 500, but i'm open to other suggestions if people have them. I'm looking for the best I can get within my budget. Ideally, I'd like to get something new so I have a warranty. My only hard requirements are: A built in phono amp, ideally with a switch to bypass (I don't have room to add a phono preamp to the chain right now, but may be able to in the future) Easy switching between speeds (all rega turntables require to remove the platter to do this correct? If so, this rules them out) Better sound quality than my LP60 Adjustable counter weight (one of the big reasons I'm upgrading is concern that the LP60 is damaging records. The platter doesn't appear to be spinning level, and plus they have a reputation for exerting more pressure on your records, I've heard) USB output (I want to make some crappy vaporwave remixes) Dust cover Any recommendations are appreciated. Thank you.

Hoping for amazon.ca but if not I'll probably order from .com. Anyone know how many they are pressing?

So, it's safe to assume my order through bandcamp is getting cancelled tomorrow? Edit: also, did anyone with an existing PayPal order get an email update today? Something went out yesterday that said another email was coming to clarify things.

Probably the black vs coloured vinyl debate, and PT/Steven Wilson fans being audiophiles

If anyone in Canada is looking for the limited editions, here are some pre-order links from amazon.ca https://www.amazon.ca/Deadwing-Vinyl-Porcupine-Tree/dp/B0794QW4S1/ref=pd_sbs_15_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=M5HX9ZVPVBTXYRWXQ0PT https://www.amazon.ca/Absentia-Vinyl-Porcupine-Tree/dp/B0794NXCPV/ref=pd_sbs_15_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=M0B64ADN3290CD6J89W3

Pre-order up on amazon.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0794QVW7M?tag=upcomingvinyl-20

Yeah, 20 CAD to ship it here. It looks like he is pressing 4000 copies though. No way other retailers won't be carrying this.

Releases May 4th. New single, Mr. No One streaming at: http://www.brooklynvegan.com/black-moth-super-rainbow-announce-new-lp-tour-listen-to-mr-no-one/ Pre-order is live now on Radcult right now too: https://blackmothsuperrainbow.bandcamp.com/album/panic-blooms The single is good. I'm a big fan of him to begin with, so I'm excited for this one.

My tracking says shipping March 19th and arriving April 2nd. I found it by checking the confirmation email they sent me when I bought it. What's everyone elses say?

Pink Season vinyl when?!?

Crap. I missed it.

I'd probably buy all three albums if they did.

What makes you say that?

Somebody earlier said it was even less. How are you guys determining this?

I wouldn't worry. DKC and Metroid were up for weeks and are both more popular.

Ones still up for sale? https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/10960101?ev=rb

So torn between these and the Sailorwave II preorder that is supposed to happen this month. Which should I get?

Wonder when Sailorwave II preorders are going to open

If I want a copy at this point, I'm probably going to have to pay a fortune on discogs, aren't I?

I'm late to the party on this one. Why is everyone so pissed?

Won't be anything on his webstore until next week I think. He mentioned that his new records would be available at his yard sale this weekend, and that this was peoples chance to get them before anyone else

Yeah, try living in Canada. Shipping ends up being as much or more than records.

Anyone have info about a potential tracking listing?

Digital version is up. Sounds good! https://macross82-99.bandcamp.com/album/sailorwave-ii Does the vinyl go on sale tomorrow?

Most recently was: The Black Dahlia Murder - Nocturnal (ordered online back in October, got here a week or so ago) Eddie Grant - Killer On A Rampage (antique store find) Flotation Toy Warning - The Machine That Made Us (my AOTY for 2017) GOAT - Requiem (Was briefly on Amazon.ca for 10$ or so. Haven't spun it yet and haven't heard them. Any good?)
