  1. They arrived yesterday.  I highly recommend ordering from Juno.  They shipped fast with reasonable shipping costs.  My one complaint is that they were basically shipped in a large Priority mail flat rate type sleeve with one piece of cardboard.  In my experience, this seems to be a common method of shipping records out of the UK.  But, hey, they arrived without as much as a dinged corner. so I can't complain too much

    Has anyone who ordered this been waiting on their order to ship for a while? I placed my order at the end of March and still haven't gotten a shipping notification. Customer service has been radio silent with a status update too.

    That's pretty weird.  I placed my order for both records on 4/27 and it arrived a few days later.  I never received a shipping confirmation or anything, though.  They just showed up.

    Does anyone have the original 3LP? I found a copy at a local for like $60 a while back and it sounded so fucking unlistenably bad that I returned it. Wondering if it was a one off or pressing wide issue. Pretty sure Helicopter was sourced for that copy from the Guitar Hero DS game or something. Fucking awful.

     

    hyped for this though, totally gonna grab one when it hits retail.

     

    I bought the original Dim Mak pressing when it was released and it sounded great.

  4. Here's my opinion of the Bugle 2 (and by proxy the Bugle 3 since the only difference is to change loading and gain on the 2 you need to replace some resistors whereas on the 3 there are dip switches to engage them)... it's good.  It's a step down from the Rogue Triton for sure.  It doesn't have the depth, clarity, or soundstage that the Triton has, but the Bugle 3 is $239 new versus $999 for the Triton.  I picked up the 2 used for $120 shipped.  It's been years since I've used a phono preamp in $200 range, but from what I remember, this is the best sounding by far.  If you're in that price range, I don't think it can be beat.

    I've heard great things about the Bugle, I'm curious to hear about your U-Turn experience as well )if you go that route). I have a Debut III (w/ acrylic platter) right now and am in the market for an upgrade. I've heard things all over the map about U-turn so I'm interested to hear what someone "downgrading" to it thinks.

     

    I think I'm going to keep the VPI Scout for now.  If I were to buy a U-Turn, I would build it custom with the cheapest cart (since I would replace it anyway), the acrylic platter, and the cueing lever.  I found a video of a guy who was able to significantly knock out vibrations by putting sorbothane padding under the power box, since apparently it vibrates.  I've also heard they do a pretty crap job on setting up the preinstalled cartridges.

    I have a Bugle 2 - been pretty happy with it. Got it a couple years ago for $150 CDN and found that it definitely opened up the sound.  Didn't realize you can tweak it to different dB - thought you had to buy different versions.

     

    You can replace a couple of resistors with different values.  Nothing too difficult.
