got my white with black swirl today, pretty gnarly surface noise throughout the entirety of side A.

bummer

These are in hand and shipping now :-)

That setup would be functional, not speaking to anything as far as sound quality goes... but the sound from the turntable would definitely come out of those speakers with the setup you are describing

Getting out of the soundtrack game. Gonna let most of these go below cost just to get rid of em. 

Iron Giant (metal case) $75

Hot Fuzz (Winchester ale) $20

Twin Peaks (brown) $20

2001 Space odyssey (black) $15

Blue Sunshine (transparent blue) $15

The Visitor (sunburst) $14

Black Sunday (Seahawks color) $15

Here comes the devil (red with black) $13

Starry Eyes (I have both gold and silver versions) - $14 each

Walking Dead Vol2 picture disc $10

Breaking Bad vol 1 meth blue color $15

Breaking Bad vol 2 hazmat yellow $15

Termintor 2 Judgement Day (Milan colored blue and red) $20

Pre order is up now, /100 variant is about 20% sold through

Sounds good man. Nice job

Probably pick up an extra M97xe some point soon, thanks for the heads

This band used to be one of my favorites. Very sad they have really watered down all aspects that made them good. I could get behind a few tracks on Perch Patchwork but Beware and Be Grateful was just plain no good. Gonna take a hard pass on this one. 

Pre-order for this is going up tomorrow. Most of you have probably never heard of this artist, but he's an awesome 8-bit / chiptune musician. The music is quite good, and the color variant is going to rule.

Just found out I get a pretty substantial discount on Sumiko and Pro-Ject products through my work, so I picked up a Tube Box S 

Thinking of getting a Blue Point No. 2 unless one of you guys can give me a reason not to

I rank my list in order of what will have the biggest tonal impact to least tonal impact, in my opinion

1. Speakers

2. Cartridge

3. Turntable

4. Amp

5. Pre-amp

For those who haven't seen this, I'm doing a test press giveaway

any ideas?

 

Someone mentioned that Super Fx is a completely different song on the LP than on the other versions. I wouldn’t know because I don’t own this LP due to the fact that I don’t like it all that much. Sad, because they have always been one of my favorite bands

This seems like the worst way to listen to/watch comedy

I just recieved this earlier today! Gave it a listen and it’s amazing! Definitely worth the purchase! Thanks again Yanq for putting it together and your teams hand written note! You guys are awesome 

Thank you so much!! I’m glad you are happy with it

Agreed! My splat arrived yesterday and sounds quite good. The remaster was well worth the effort. Will def be supporting your label in the future.

Ah thank you, that means a lot!!! <3

For those on the fence, my splatter copies are about halfway sold through, and this probably won’t be repressed any time soon. 

/100 sold out! 

Less than 20 copies left online of the /100 variant

any way you can reserve a /100 from me? I dont want to miss out if it sells out imediately. I will try to purchase it right when it goes up. 

If it does sell out, hit me up. I have a few copies I’m holding off on putting up so I got you <3

Full disclosure: I pressed this album 

Our first release is “Thereafter” by Save Us From The Archon and we could not be more excited!

Originally self-released in 2014, the album has been remastered for vinyl and pressed on 140g discs. We will have both color variants available for purchase.

Part math-rock, part metal, and mostly unclassifiable — this album is full of fast-paced tracks nestled in between landscapes of layered and backward guitar loops that both transition and complete the album comprehensively.

The band posted this on instagram a while back and the release is set to come out within the next couple weeks.. Never mind them listening to the test press on a crosley, I can promise it's been listened to on something far better

If you've never heard of this band (or this album specifically) and like anything along the lines of BTBAM, Animals As Leaders, CHON, etc. do yourself a favor: https://saveusfromthearchon.bandcamp.com/album/thereafter-2

Been a while since I posted and my set up has changed a little, although it's still just as bad

2 Channel / Music : Marantz 2238

Boston Acoustics VR965

ProJect Debut Carbon Espirit with an AT-440mla

5.1 / TV / Movies: Marantz SR7009

Boston VR965

Boston VR910 Center (not pictured)

B&W ASW608 Subwoofer

B&W M-1 Surrounds

Subs are generally frowned upon when using in the two channel application for music, so it is always better to pick out left and right speakers that can supply the amount of bass that you desire.

That being said, a 15" sub would definitely be overkill in my opinion for a music set up and I would only recommend that if it was being used primarily for home theater (movies and tv). If you have to get a sub and run a 2.1 set up for music stick to one efficient 12" or even a smaller 10".

Unless you like obnoxiously loud bass (see: car stereo subwoofers), then go for it and add as many and as big subs as you would like.

Well I love it, which is why I made it that way!  It reminds me of a fucked up ugly fence or tool shed or something that’s been outside too long. 

I still appreciate everyone’s opinion though, even if you aren’t into it! I’m going to keep using it as my secondary table. Going to probably end up throwing a different cartridge on there though (still not a fan of the ortofon), I’m using my AT440mla for now. 

Thanks everyone for playing along. This thing sat next to my kitchen table for 6 months and then took me 2 days to finish
