Looking for a few rare/expensive records that I’ve owned at one point and gifted to friends. Saves the Day-In Reverie RX Bandits-Progress Scott McMicken-It White Denim-Last Day of Summer Everytimeidie-Gutter Phenomenon The Format-Dog Problems The Living End-Modern Artillery I know I could find most of these on Discogs but figured I’d see if I could give my money to VC first. If you have any of these shoot me an offer, or let me know and I’ll send you an offer. Whatever works.

Pm’d you an offer on a couple things!

My band just released our first record (I play drums). We’re more stoner/psych rock than metal but I thought some of you may enjoy it. https://youtu.be/hXtjMiXNx3U https://mojobozos.bandcamp.com We’re still trying to figure out pressing the lp, but we did a short run of lathe cut 7”s with audio geography for our first show that came out pretty cool.

Haha maybe. It's probably more likely that the resale value isn't that high on those. I had some ML electrostats for a couple years and it took me a loooong time to sell them. I think it's just such a niche market. If you have a local dealer and can demo some Monitor Audio's I really can't reccomend it enough. Especially if you typically listen to rock. The only reason I went with the Venere 3.0's I bought over the Monitors is I listen to jazz roughly half the time and thought the Sonus Fabers were a little more well rounded, particularly in the mids.

Monitor Audio Gold series. Ribbon tweeter, fantastic low end. Maybe?

A full claw foot tub weighs upwards of 1000 lbs. You'll be ok.

I have both and Hang Ups is waaaay better than S/T. Been a minute since I've listened to it but I remember sounding great.

Pm'd

^ Well, fuck me.

Hmm, I thought he added a ton haha. I think they pulled off some cool shit, almost mimicking electronic beats with real drums, and that having both drum tones so similar helped to achieve that.

It's blowing my mind that people think TKOL is lifeless sounding. I think it has one of the most immediately recognizable textures of any album, like ever. And there were two drummers on it! But ya know, opinions. Didn't love the new song upon first listen, then I went home and listened to it on my main setup and that immediately changed. Crazy composition with the strings, love the subtle changes in mood from part to part, rather than standard verse/chorus/verse shit. Getting some heavy Jonny Greenwood soundtrack vibes. Stoked.

Hahaha this had me rollin.

This will never change unless Citizens United gets overturned.

That video was great! Also, Dave is really starting to look like Jeff Lynne from ELO.

I spend waaaay more money in local stores than online. Its pretty rare that I preorder online, but I'm not into variant collecting or anything like that. Most of my online purchases have been OOP titles that I'd never find in a store, and hell even that I've only done maybe 5 times. There have been a couple records I was looking for for years that could have been easily found online, but I get way more enjoyment from stumbling upon one at a store. For me, that's the fun part of the hobby, walking into a store a finding that random record you've wanted for years.

Yup, its a Nova 220se.

Shit is crazy. So scared that Trump and Hillary end up the nominees, and then Hillary gets indicted or something for this email shit, and we end up with President Trump.

Thanks!

Couple quick shots of the Sonus Fabers I just picked up. Wooo! These really fit well with my taste for speakers. I have pretty bad tinitus, so finding speakers that don't fatigue my ears quickly without sacrificing high end extension has been a challenge to say the least. Spent literally all weekend listening to these and didn't get worn out once.

Damn, that post was supposed to say people were saying the built in speakers sound good. Maybe I should chill on the makers mark. But anyways, I agree.

Sucks the 110 jumped up in price. Been eyeing one for a long ass time. Should've pulled trigger. God damnit.

I don't know if someone saying the built in speakers on a vertical turntable qualify as educated. Or is that what you're saying?

Haha yup. I actually asked "is there a Bob there" when I called. Dude sent the new tweeter knowing I wasn't sending mine back til Monday. Fucking rad.

Picked up a pair of Sonus Faber Venere 3.0's. Woo! Got a crazy deal on some floor models. Having an issue with one of the tweeters though. Got some warranty shit in the works, but at least I can vouch for Sonus Faber's tech support dept. Dude got me diagnosed over the phone and had a replacement part on the way in about 20 minutes. Pretty rad considering they're floor models! I'll post some pics once everything's all straightened out.

If I was starting with 1500 right now- Marantz PM-5005 (as mentioned) ProJect RPM 1 Monitor Audio Bronze 2 Yup
