Manchester Orchestra demos

Sorry struck out

Headed to my local shop in 10 minutes. Anyone need me to look for anything?

So I added a Schitt Magni headphone amp to my setup (thanks to @Sidney-Crosley !), but now I need some kind of switch. 

If I understand correctly, it will be  Turntable > Preamp > New Switch >  1) Speakers or 2) Headphone amp

I thought something like this might work, but looking through the q&a someone said the impedance isn't correct for a turntable. 

Thanks for any help!

Still waiting as well. I contacted them on the 5th as the tracking email suggested and they told me they were on letter E of the Z-A first initial shipping order.  

Mine just updated to a delivery for this Thursday(last name starts with M). Also got an automated email from the Fedex delivery manager so that's cool. 

Anyone else still waiting on Vault #37 with their tracking number not updated?

TMR said it would update by last Friday IIRC. Might have to actually contact them in a few days if it hasn't changed.

Just get a headphone amp with pre-outs that can go to the speakers. Schiit Magni 3 for $99 will likely be your best bang for buck, and will allow you to listen to headphones, and will sound pretty sweet in the meantime. http://www.schiit.com/products/magni-1

Thanks so much! I guess the 551P will be useless so gotta find a buyer.

My issue us that I don't listen to my records enough, but I need to be able to do it with headphones sometimes. My current setup doesn't allow this, so what is the best way to modify what I have?

Turntable: Rega RP3

Preamp: Cambridge 551P

Speakers: Kanto Yumi powered(I know...not exactly hi-fi but I use them for other sources)

Since neither the preamp or speakers have a headphone jack what should I add? Is an RCA out > female headphone jack cable from the preamp an option? (Or even a good idea?)

Thanks for any help!

I got a MEW record that looked exactly like that on the outside. The inside was equally fucked. Sorry 

Update....yep it's not good. I feel bad griping and possibly getting another one, but the bottom right has a huge crease/bend(might be hard to see in the pic), and that's if I overlook the top corner being pretty mashed as well. I've bought probably 70+ records online and never had an issue so I guess I'm due.  

Just got mine delivered and am afraid to open it. Nice job USPS!

(Looking at the packing a bit more, USPS did beat the hell out of it but this isn't packed well enough. I hope I'm wrong, but I bet any others they mailed like this have a good chance of ending up the same way. )

Thank for posting the EF link. I didn't think I'd have a shot at it since I'm not in MN and they had posted "in-store only".  

Just got one!

Just opened mine and saw this as well.  Really effing lazy. How hard would it have been to get a silver sharpie and sign the  jacket? 

@dollarsandcents - We worked out an odd "ship 4 RSD records to him/pay me for 3 that he keeps/ship 1 to me", and he paid immediately on receipt of the items and then shipped mine, which was packed quite well. 100% recommend!

Also got Arcade Fire from banquet.

 

Still available here: http://www.resident-music.com/productdetails&product_id=54718

Thank you! Got one, so really hoping they can deliver. Shipping was about £5 less than Crash so that's cool. 

Lol the Arcade Fire was gone in less than 2 seconds on Banquet. 

$90 for that bundle is a steal imo.

No idea if this applies to the U.S. as well, but the Norwegian shop I stopped by on RSD said something about Sony(no idea what RSD items they'd be involved with) delaying distribution, so I imagine it couldn't have been just their shop.

Here is a discogs dealer putting his leftovers up for sale now.  He seems to have a lot of titles to offer.  He is listing alphabetically - he is in the B's now:

They're a B&M in the Minneapolis area. As legit as it gets. 

I am on the site just fine, but I'm not seeing any 'buy' buttons, so either they have it restricted by IP(sorta doubtful) since I'm in Europe now, or they haven't put up the buy option yet.

Got the last arcade fire copy in my store, so happy about that. And ordered the planet terror soundtrack on ebay a few days ago so i've got all i wanted this year!

Excellent! The AF is my only real want so I'm hoping the store I shopped at today gets a few next week(delayed for some reason to do with Sony or something like that)

I’ll pop into my local later this morning and have a look. Looking for any of the Sigur Ros records if you see them (Alex Somers, Sigur Ros, Jonsi/Alex). 

I got 3 of the 4 so I hope they're the right ones. I have no room in my bag though(and 5 flights in the next week) so they are going to ship once they can get the arcade fire for me next week. Let me know if you want them and they are yours....just have to wait a bit.

Ugh...I'm travelling and stopped by the local shop(Apollon) before they open, but they told me they aren't getting the Arcade Fire EP until next week if at all. Any help appreciated, and I'm happy to look for any Europe-only releases for anyone.

What I think is a bit lame is that they offer nothing to Vault members. Maybe set aside a tiny % of these for subscribers or something.

Wasn't really into Reflektor but jumped on this. They're amazing live and I'm pumped they'll be in the round setup in arenas.

FWIW, I received that same confirmation from recordstore.co.uk.

Was that an automated email though? I got that response directly from their support team.
