if I had that kind of money, I'd buy all my music on laserdisc!

ayo colin... NICE WORK, holmes. I ordered the special 180 gram edition of blue sky noise a few days ago. think I might risk it all and wait for the record store blue vinyl for yo shit ;-) the three record stores I frequent in falls church, VA have been pretty solid on limited releases so far

Thank you for your words, ThrillHo. I'm reassured enough now that I will continue to spin my precious albums on a not so precious table! ;-)

Ahhh my bad yo! gotta admit it's nice quality though? ;-) that 1.5mb bad boy was embedded into each individual MP3 on the digital download that came with the vinyl lol! record label nubs don't know how to release albums properly on dig downloads. I'll figure out how to do a thumbnail real quick...

Wow, I was just looking at all the sold out Fall of Troy vinyl just the other day... such a blessing they're re-releasing this shit was some killer new artwork. swag

Everyone should pick up the new Bon Iver vinyl, if only for the beautiful album art. No but really it's one of the best releases of 2011. Also check out the videos on how the album art was made: CLICK THUMBNAIL FOR HUGE VERSION:

hey ThrillHo, I see you talk a lot of smack about ION USB turntables in this thread - probably for good reason. which brings me to this: I just started my vinyl collection on record store day this year (Omar Rodriguez Lopez's Telesterion was my first purchase, couldn't help myself), and I've been using a hand-me-down ION Profile LP USB turntable. my roommate "upgraded" and blessed me with the Profile LP :-/ I'M GRATEFUL THO, DON'T GET ME WRONG I'm into music production, so luckily I've already got a couple sweet monitors, which are hooked into an apogee duet. I plug the RCA outs of the iON straight into the duet (via RCA>1/4" adapters, came with the Duet), audio is fed into/captured with Propellerhead's Reason/Record software, which is sent out to the monitors. the ground noise and pops of the iON table going through my system is extremely noticeable, more so on quieter records. but my ultimate question for you is... is the needle on the iON so terrible that it may have damaged my records permanently?? I hope not :-[ I should mention that I'm using a new needle that I bought off amazon. (the stock needle for crappo iON Profile LP's)
