LOL. Man I just looked closely at the cover. I love Chelsea Wolfe and I love “goth-y” stuff, but she nails the dark, deep, high school level art. 

“Pain is Beauty”

and this cover of her holding some kind of ceremonial knife above her head, about to plunge it into some jock’s heart, ‘cause, you know, she’s dark and artsy.

Thank you! Easy buy. Lots of my favorite artists have albums scheduled for this year. Need my VC peeps to come through with the PO threads. 

Not a fan of this band, but I love that they put extra songs on side D instead of an etching. I wish everyone would do this.

The sound quality isn’t going to be great on this, and it was digitally recorded, plus I don’t think I need to “collect” this, so I think I’m going to save myself some cash and get the Blu-ray.  I’d much rather watch a concert than just listen anyway.

I am disappointed in myself that I clicked the link with the intention to buy 5 albums that I already own.

Agreed but the pressing numbers are too high. 

Yeah, it would suck if people could buy a long out of print LP without lining up the night before, fighting with people in the store, or paying double or triple online, amirite?

Just waiting for that next Type O Deluxe 3LP set.

Age doesn’t matter in this case, number of hours used does.  Light weekend use for a couple of years doesn’t add up to too much. 

And while I usually have to dry my eyes (laughing, crying, both?) after looking at the hardware section here, I remain hopeful that one or two people will see and read about some of the better equipment out there and realize that buying well loved used equipment from someone that has the ability to buy better equipment is a great way to get a good deal and enrich their love of music. Everything I purchased up until the last 5 years was clearance, or was being “passed down” by someone who was moving up and wanted to share what they had found with the next guy. It’s the best way to buy awesome gear. 

I hope this sale finds that kind of someone.

"Greatest hits albums are for housewives and little girls."

Even though the above is a fact, I was considering the silver. But $90... no.

I was actually more stoked about the MOV pressing. Yeah it had the extra disk and the color is cool but the expanded booklet with like all the high res stuff came out amazing. And it sounds so fucking amazing.

The booklet sounds cool. Bloody Kisses is a great sounding record via digital stream, so it’s no surprise it sounds good.

Speaking strictly about the music, I didn’t like when Brandon Flowers decided he wanted to write music In the style of Bruce Springsteen. I’m not a big BS fan, and this sounds like it could be a tribute song. 

The RSD Bloody Kisses 3LP is so good, if they did them all that way and with the same all around quality I would be so pumped.

The extras are great. Most Unwound 7”s, Bsides, or rare tracks are similar in quality to album tracks. 

All vinyl was cut and pressed at United, so there are issues. The usual off centered or slightly noisy vinyl. My The Future Of What had non fill on multiple copies. 

Despite the varying degree of issues, the sets are great and totally worth getting. Plus unwound is one of the greatest bands ever, so there’s that.

Wow. Great deal. Awesome.

Way to get that Type O! I’m listening now, and early impression is the SQ is very good! I have it cranked and the dynamics, clarity, and channel separation are both great.  This record is so much fun.

i was a bit worried it wouldn’t sound great, but so far, I was worried for nothing.

Got my Type O Negatives! And ChrisCornell B-52's(don't ask) and G n'R Shadow of your Love...

I'm good

Congrats. I got my Bloddy Kisses, but I don’t need Trivium covering Type O, and the GnR and CC 7”s were $14 each! At $10 (still crazy for 2 songs) I would have left with them, even though I’d probably never listen to them.

That’s because they are running the sale too. Passed down from Ortofon. 

No, it’s because youspinmeround linked just the replacement stylus. The full cartridge is $699 on LPgear.

Loser doesn’t say transparent, 10c does. 

Good to hear you figured it out. Always a relief.

Of course I forgot about the malfunctioning switch. 

There were a lot of info when I searched on the topic. Most figured out that a ground loop was being created with the interconnect to the sub and the trigger cable. There were a few ways to deal with it, but not sure any were true fixes at the source. More like work arounds, like a couple of people cut the sleeve of the trigger cable. There’s probably a better way to do it with a grounding of some kind, but I wouldn’t know where to start.

Classic ajxd 

Why are you pulling apart the sub when it works fine in another setup? You replaced the amp and the problem started. Sounds like it’s either the amp or the interaction between the amp and sub. 

Does the amp have any menu options or other adjustments relating to the 12v trigger? 

Did anyone get this? I’m listening to a stream right now. It’s good. I ordered an LP. 

Nice. Now it will be easier for me to nab that sweet green! 

I would say buy the best speakers you can afford.  They’ll be the best bang for the buck and the biggest improvement possible in you system. Don’t worry about trying to spread your budget around. Unless you get an absolutely insane smoking deal on multiple items, your budget really won’t stretch to multiple items that will make a significant impact in your system.
