When ordering this, be sure to add the Suns and the Tyler Daniel Bean records from Kat Kat, they're both awesome!

Bump for an absolutely awesome record! Go check it out!

Will all the orders be via mail? Seems kinda weird. Also, anyone know if this is available for international shipping?

Ok, so anyone got a shipping confirmation for a doomsday sale order already?

Does anyone know if the Mylene Sheath give out shipping notifications if you check out as a guest? Just wondering..?

just so you know, first class international is going up a ton on january 27th.

from us to europe, it's going to be $12.75 to ship a 7" and $18.70 to ship an lp.

Is there anywhere I can find a breakdown of what it is going to cost to ship 1, 2, 3.. lps after january 27th? I checked the usps website but all those ounces and lbs and stuff get me way to confused... thx

$0 international Shipping? too good to be true...

 

Thanks for the link, I cross my fingers for it to actually happen

So, how did that work out? I'm curious..

Why on earth is this 10$ more for EU/UK orders if they are still going to add shipping costs via paypal? I don't get it...

Any word on when the repress is going up for sale? I don't want to miss out again..

Thanks for explaining this. I always thought that because most of the amps that we consider "vintage" were made in the 70s-80s when records were the main music source, they would have a pretty good built-in phono preamp. I guess not...

my setup as of this morning.

Care to elaborate what the big difference is in running the turntable through the pre-amp first compared to just straight to the amp?

From the looks of it I guess it's a vintage (Kenwood? Onkyo?) amp. If so, it already has a good phono stage, no?

Thanks!

bumping this

So if I get that right, this is the version that is gonna pop up in all the european distros?

Thank you! I'll be sure to check this out and do the math!

Guys/Travis

I've bought vinyl from Hot Topic online before and have been shocked by the international shipping cost. It cost me $40+ for two $17 vinyl (that’s with the cheapest option and it takes two weeks to get to me). It's ridiculous.

Since I buy a lot of vinyl from Hot Topic/eBay/soundstagedirect/Elusive Disc etc, I opted to get a US postal address, which costs $60 to $80 per year depending on service level you choose. It now costs me around $4 or $5 (media mail) for postage within the US, which is great if I buy more than one album and spread the cost, or get free delivery within the US. My US postal address then re-packs and sends them to me at a cost of $6 $7 per lb (roughly per vinyl). And I have it here within 2-3 days using DHL International courier.

Do the maths. It’s a massive cost saver.

To make it cheaper still, I’ve gone thirds this year with my vinyl-buying friends. We bring in roughly 70lb of vinyl per month (we don’t flip vinyl – too old for that shit. That’s a young man's game). It cost us about $90 each (with insurance).

There are pitfalls. Eg When Thrice – Vheissu went on sale we ordered more than one copy and got bumped (even though we ordered within the first minute it went on sale). Same goes for places that have a limit of one vinyl per customer. Hope this helps international buyers.

"I opted to get a US postal address, which costs $60 to $80 per year depending on service level you choose."

Could you explain this further?

How does it sound?

Thanks for the pic, looks good. Can't wait to get my copy.

nice pic!

Can anyone post pictures of the whole thing if you have some spare time? Much appreciated!

Did anyone order the M. Ward/She and Him daily deal?

They were supposedly shipping on 5/2 but I never got a shipping notification and haven't received anything. Anyone get their records or a shipping notification yet?

Yeah, same thing here. Nothing yet. Thought that it had to do with me ordering the bundle 2 days late, but apparently not.

ITT: guy who has over 200 records in his tradelist asks very basic questions about turntables.

True dat !!!

still just a shitty low-end turntable. will it play records? yup. Will it sound listenable? yes, and considerably more than some bullshit crossley.

But my main issue with these ultra-low-end turntables is that talking about how great vinyl sounds, describing it as "warm", dropping money on box sets, buying 180 gram records, etc. is fucking pointless when you're putting them on a really low quality player. It makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE, especially if you're actually into record collecting for the long haul, to just hold off on buying records for a few months and save up to buy a nicer set up.
