    Too much direct sunlight can be bad for electronics (mostly cosmetic wear). It can also warp records due to the heat and fade jackets. If you live somewhere where the climate can get warmer and that window is one that has direct sunlight for extended periods of the day, I would find a different spot.

    My terrible confession: I’ve never listened to NUFAN. Just recently heard an album for the first time.
     
    What better way to get into this band than to pick up a 14 album box set?

    Thanks! These are a couple of my favorite pieces of audio gear I’ve ever owned, so I figure might as well dress them up.

    Same, it definitely takes them up a notch in appearance. I just haven't wanted to shell out $200-$300 or more for one, when my 2220 was only around $400 without it haha.

    While I’m a big fan, I think this blanket statement won’t actually solve OP’s problem. The 2m blue is known as a very bright cart, and has been reviewed as fatiguing to some (myself included)
     
    While it’s true the Rotel might be amplifying the problem produced by the cart (no pun intended), a 2m blue paired with a marantz might still be too bright for OP’s preference. I’d personally start with a new cartridge as it’ll be the easiest part of the system to invest in and would most likely solve the problem.

    Well, a day after reaching out to District Lines to inquire about both of my orders I never received I got a response that they originally oversold their stock and were waiting to receive more from Hydra Head. Today I got a different message saying a batch of records were damaged which is why they never shipped me mine so they can only offer a refund.
     
    Seems weird I would only hear about this a day after reaching out to them, and I haven’t heard or seen anyone else effected beside me. I wish companies would just be honest, say they fucked up (in this case forgot to fulfil my order) and offer something substantive for a solution. 
     
    Double bummer.

    circuit bored records got a reaction from N8TRU in PO: Between The Buried and Me - The Great Misdirect (Remixed and Remastered)   
    This is one of my favorites from BTBAM..  I picked this up and have had a chance to listen through on speakers and a couple more times with headphones on. 
     
    To me, the headline to the remaster is that the mids have definitely been scooped and a lot more compression added. Where parts of the album get really busy and were generally difficult to discern some of the more complex compositions, they are now much easier to hear and therefore the album is generally “easier” to listen to, with some more of the subtle instrumentation a lot more apparent now. There are parts of the album I heard with headphones on that I just never noticed before. I still love the old mix, it’s definitely got a bit more bite to it, however if I were pulling an album off the shelf to listen to between the two, I would pick this one.

    I'm releasing both of these EPs as a single LP which is going up for preorder Friday...  For fans of instrumental rock/metal/progressive whatever, definitely worth checking out,

    Still at the top of my list.

    Also, how is Veil of Maya's "Eclipse" not pressed?
    It is such a short album you could probably even squeeze it on a 10"
    But its one of those I always find myself going back to.

    Hey-o! These came in last week and they came out pretty neat. There's only about a dozen of the blue/purple variant left.

    I did like I said and ordered the tape. It showed up today, but it's fucking blank on both sides hahahaha.
    Never heard of Missed Out Records before, but verifying that the audio is actually on the media before they ship it out is probably something they should consider doing in the near future lol.

    It's a sweat release! Besides, they're all over it in terms of fixing the issue. Worst case scenario I'll just dub the tape myself with FLAC files from Bandcamp lol.
