    Too gimmicky for me.  I'm about to sell my copy.  Can't stand the dude anymore.

    Him as an artist I could care less about. This album in particular, I could really care less about. The gimmicks is what I find so interesting. To me, they're pushing the medium. For a format that has been around longer than most of us on this forum, it's interesting to see the execution of new ideas on an old iconic format. I'm surprised someone like Bjork who is always experimenting with delivery hasn't created something outstanding.

    Ultra Vinyl Releases

    Jack White release Lazaretto Ultra LP in 2014 which had a ton of interesting features within the Vinyl Record. Is anyone aware of similar LE releases that could be considered "Ultra" pressings or any expected releases upcoming?

     

    There have been posts about it on this forum but the Ultra edition LP included: 

    -    2 vinyl-only hidden tracks hidden beneath the center labels
    -    1 hidden track plays at 78 RPM, one plays at 45 RPM, making this a 3-speed record 
    -    Side A plays from the inside out
    -    Dual-groove technology: plays an electric or acoustic intro for “Just One Drink” depending on where needle is dropped. The grooves meet for the body of the song.
    -    Matte finish on Side B, giving the appearance of an un-played 78 RPM record
    -    Both sides end with locked grooves
    -    Vinyl pressed in seldom-used flat-edged format
    -    Dead wax area on Side A contains a hand-etched hologram by Tristan Duke of Infinity Light Science, the first of its kind on a vinyl record
    -    Absolutely zero compression used during recording, mixing and mastering

    Equipment Setup – What is most important to you?

    in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment

    Posted · Edited by timmayd

    Hey guys, I think among the casual / non-audiophile listeners I talk to, they tend to commonly agree, if you're not after a super high end setup, certain components can be a waste of money. That said, I'd love to hear your personal preferences for which components are your highest priority and which ones you think can save money by either purchasing entry level equipment or not at all? For example, if you hypothetically had $1000 (ish) budget (and wanted to keep some leftover to buy records!)  how would you rank the importance or priority of your setup?

    1. Turntable Selection - no need to get into specific models necessarily
    2. Home receiver - not all created equal and not a necessity for all setups
    3. Pre-amp - if your receiver has a good enough built-in, should you invest in more power?
    4. Speakers / Headphones - more or less important than some of the above items?
    5. Cartridge / Stylus – some people swear by them but is an upgrade worth it for a casual listener?

    I listed in order of my personal preference, but what do I know?! :)  Did I miss any other considerations?

    Online record sales

    Unfortunately the lot I was given came from a close friend whose neighbor passed away. Their mom did not want to see the vinyl go to waste. There are several classics (literally classic rock) from beatles to led zepplin and metallica. Some of these are not in condition to sell, but several are LE and appear to have never been played. It was surprising but these are also records I will personally never listen to (and have no attachment to). Those that are in good condition, I'll take a few photos and post soon. Thanks again for the feedback, gang, I appreciate it.
