Playing devil's advocate here for a second - Unless the flippers here on the board were on the same RSD line as you and grabbed a record you physically could've gotten, why do you care if they're flipping?

There's nothing this year that I really care about. It's a really good feeling.
I'd like Deja Fartendu but not for whatever price it's going to be. I'd like to flip it though. Money is dope.

Oh, I did it that way first and made a video of it, too. In the end, I just didn't like the way the LED method looked (the static noise in the video is in fact cardboard rubbing against the turntable belt, which was promptly fixed after I turned the camera off).
 

I can't make it to the WFMU fair but if you go and he's showing his White Albums, I donated the one covered in Wacky Packages stickers.
 
I interviewed Rutherford back in February when he did the NYC gallery showing for a month, and talked tech with him about how best to save and mixdown the tracks he was recording for the album (the file was getting too big and was threatening to corrupt). My pal Missy eventually gave him the tech info he needed.
 
In any case, I mail ordered a copy and it arrived today. Looking forward to listening to it.

looks great

even worse. you apparently know how to write properly but choose not to. practice how you would play the game.

Still haven't seen the movie, but I covered the Sound City Players show in NYC the other night - here's my writeup:

I like that people complain about the belt changing when they're playing a record that has to be turned over to listen to the second half...

whats the point of getting a $500 turntable that you arent going to be satisfied having to manually change it and spend another $150 on a button that changes the speed?

The Speedbox is ok, and like many here, I like it more for not having to change the belt. I got my Debut III used and it didn't come with the belt tool, so I'd been doing it with my greasy, ol' fingers. I didn't really notice much of a change, sound-wise. The turntable seems to spin a little fast, according to the iRPM iPhone app, but not so bad that I'd hear a different--we're talking percents of a revolution off of 33.3. I don't know if the box is the cause, though I'd have thought it would help prevent that. Whatever. While $150 is an insane amount to spend on just a speed changing button, I do admittedly use it a lot because I have a lot of 1980s UK 12" singles, and those were always released at 45 RPM.
 
For the other Speedbox owners, a question: If I happen to be charged up with static electricity, if i touch the box, it sometimes changes to the other speed setting--anyone else have this happen to them?
 
As for the platter, yeah, it's worth it. I am no Golden Ears, and I definitely heard the difference. Not having to deal with the staticky mat is nice too, but you have to remember to brush it off before you play a record--the gray color hides dust, and you won't see it until you flip the record over and find it all stuck to the other side.

The receiver, CD player and EQ are on top. I have a remote for the receiver, so while I can reach up there to turn it on, I don't have to. I rarely play CDs or touch the EQ, but can reach them from the futon couch.
Top 2 rows are LPs, except the emptyish one, which is stuff waiting to get listened to.
Turntable row - the black box is picture disks, and then there's 10" and magazines that are 12" LPs
Next row down is 12" singles.
Row after that is (l-r): autographed records; the rest of the 12" singles; soundtracks and comedy; and kiddie records for my kid (mostly vintage Sesame Street)
Last row, covered up by the sun and the discard record pile is boxes of 45s.
 
FWIW, I counted about 75 LPs in the full squares/boxes/cubbies, and that with all the records bagged and a fair number of gatefold sleeves.

Damn girl, I'm going to stick my 12" in your cubby hole.
