    Because they're... bad? (Case in point: your brand new record is skipping)

    You have owned 3 different turntables and buy this?

    ~$3k seems to be roughly the going rate for a 65" OLED (for those of us without the retail hookups).  I technically could have gone with a smaller screen with the higher end tech, but the larger screen size is a big factor driving my upgrade.
     
    I'll be in the same HDCP 2.2 boat.  My current AVR is a Marantz SR5008.  It probably wouldn't cost me much to step up to a newer edition but running a cable isn't a big deal either.
     
    I was originally planning to pick up a PS4 whenever the latest Uncharted game came out, but given the announcement that there would be a hardware revision around the holidays, I elected to wait.  I mostly play games in the winter (because Wisconsin) so waiting wasn't an issue.  There isn't enough content available currently for me to justify shelling out for a new player specifically to get Ultra Blu Ray capabilities, but if it comes packaged with something like the PS4.5 that I was going to pick up anyway, I'm on board.
     
    I'll be sure to report back.  My delivery date is currently set for this Saturday.

    The KS8000 would be one of my recommendations as there isn't a world of difference between that and Samsung's flagship 9000 series this year but the price difference is pretty substantial between the two. 
     
    I would also look at the Sony 65X850D as I find the backlight uniformity to be slightly better (one of the things Samsung LEDs have always struggled with) and I personally prefer Sony's Triluminos color processor to Samsung's Quantom Dot. 
     
    As a related aside, I just bought a 65EF9500 OLED to replace my 2013 Samsung 55F8000, but it hasn't been delivered yet as I'm working for the next week straight. Very much looking forward to it.

    Cleaning solution is not that expensive, relatively speaking. A $20-30 bottle will last for literally thousands of records when used properly. Think how much you spend on the albums themselves, and it should start to make sense.

    I understood everything they were saying and still had trouble getting through it (but I still made it to the end).  I cannot, for the life of me, understand why there was so much fucking hype around this movie.  Great acting, set and costume design do not in any way make up for a lack of a captivating plot or multi-dimensional characters.  I found it to be boring as shit.

    Well I just got fucked over by Amoeba, kinda... I called last week and they said the Burn the Witch 7" is gonna be in the store tomorrow. I just called today and everything changed. They got 15 copies, and if you preorder the album tomorrow on CD or vinyl (regular, not white) you will be entered into a raffle to be able to buy one of the 7" records. Fucking sucks. I already ordered the deluxe on the site.
     
    I really, really love this album. If anyone has a second copy of the 7" they can hook it up with... please let me know.
     
    Here's my vlog's first impression in case anyone's interested:

    circuit bored records got a reaction from GhostTrail in WAXWORKS RECORDS Official Mega-Thread   
    The only shitty thing about all of this is not so much the deluxe price -- it's obviously marked up a shit ton but people will still buy it -- but the fact that $40 is the new norm for a basic 2x LP from waxwork. Mondo doesn't even gouge as hard on their basic releases. I knew when they were going to offer subscribers a "discount" that it wouldn't actually be a discount.. They just mark the releases up to still make the same amount of margin, and now they make even more on their non-subscribing customers. That, to me, is shitty.

    So if Circa Survive takes 6 months to fulfil a pre-order it's just playing the game, but when waxwork takes 3 it's a mutiny? I'll never understand this board.

    It has nothing to do with your opinion and more to do with the fact that you don't seem to understand how pre-orders work.  Waxwork stated Goosebumps was a pre-order (meaning it hadn't been manufactured yet) and would take at least 8 weeks to ship out when they sent the first email announcing it, and then it got delayed, simple as that.  
     
    Justifying your displeasure with completely unsubstantiated claims about their business model seems to be some vaguely related veil to hide the fact that you're simply upset you don't have your record yet.  Just entitled and childish all around.  "Trolling" them on instagram and social media is just another outlet for you to be mildly annoying besides coming in this thread and trying to (unsuccessfully) stir up shit.
     
    If you didn't want to wait for something that was labeled as a pre order, you shouldn't have ordered it.  Mondo took 5 months to get my Guardians of the Galaxy out but I don't see you with pitchfork-in-hand in that thread.  Circa took over 6 months to get Juturna out and everyone was calm and civil about it that thread.  Delays happen all the time.  And if you've never dealt with stuff getting delayed from a label, then you must be new to record collecting.
