I think there are going to be a lot of people who are gonna ask "who is this JetSet person" and then go "ooooooooohhhhh yeah, that guy from Workaholics".

 

That's what I did, a month ago.

yeah but some people just do not pay attention.

 

also, old but good

 

is it just me or did he pretend to die in a webisode of The Other Cubicle?

nevertheless, he was hilarious as are all of the Workaholics cast. RIP!

first shot at this. just realized I messed up the blue one a bit, oh well.

do these come USPS from Topshelf?

kinda cool that some of you guys will be there. I feel like a little kid compared to some/all of you most likely. 
probably going to be the craziest show I've gone to yet.

Got my split and Live on BBC Radio 1. Props to Topshelf for having fantastic shipping speed.

Live on BBC is awesome. Both TA's and Defeater's are great actually.

Looks like it will accept a standard 1/2 inch mount headshell, like this: http://www.needledoctor.com/Technics-Headshell?sc=2&category=432

 

The table is decent, but not really worthy of getting too crazy in terms of upgrading the cartridge.  Plenty of good budget choices in the $50 - $100 range.  As ajxd mentioned, this topic has been covered ad nauseam here.  Just do a search for Sure, Ortofon, Grado, etc etc.

yeah I figured, and good thing I don't have a ton to spend it either! but it's definitely a lot better than the other option I have. thanks a lot, I am just getting into collecting and my dad's info on this stuff is as old as the turntable so I figured I would ask you guys. 

oh god, yes!!!

Got mine in today. I ordered all three variants from Topshelf and they look great!

eat poop. I ordered all three as well, hopefully they're coming tomorrow cause these look so nice.

Packages are up again. 

With dark green/cream color, purple/black packages are sold out.

How about you read through this forum. There are a lot of posts covering all topics you're looking into to.

 

And also posting a budget helps. Headshells are $20-$40 depending on your table, and cartridges are $40-$40,000.

Okay how bout I'll take the middle road, $30 for headshell. and what you say is a low-end $50 cartridge.

 

I tried to convert from TOO much to EUR but got an error message...

lmao.

damn. those of you who got it already are lucky :/ can't wait for this shit to come in! the split variant looks sooo nice.

I have a JVC QL-A2. It is in very good condition. Gonna clean up the dust cover a bit, but it turns on and does spin. However, I need a new headshell and cartridge. I am looking for mid-range items because I can't spend too much, but don't want to get shitty thing just cause it costs a little less. Can anyone direct me towards a good setup that isn't TOO much money but also is not not worth my money? 
 

caved in and got one cause I sold stuff on eBay recently. excited for this!

still debating if I should get one. I realllly want it but don't really have the $10 to spend on it. ugh:/

In other news, don't care what anyone says, I REALLY want this to happen.

 

reminds me of hummus, yum!

did this, but someone stole my number >.>

Damn, I only just found out about this, missed out on the package with all the cool stuff.

ahhh that sucks:/ maybe after it's released someone will have one for sale. as soon as they posted it I knew I should get one

I'm most likely coming up to this from DC.  Being from CT and all this is really awesome and glad it's for such a good cause.  I haven't seen Hostage Calm in a hall show since they played with Title Fight in 2010, which rules, and well, last time I saw MHTJ was their last show.

 

I have a house in CT so if anyone was interested in traveling to the show, I'd be willing to house friendly people!

a fellow CT man! and yes, Hostage Calm is fucking great. You should have went to their Please Remain Calm release show, holy shit it was awesome. I hope to see you there!! 

For fans of My Heart to Joy and With Honor in the New England are, it is a good day.

 

February 9th in Wallingford, CT there is a reunion show to benefit the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting.

There will be a bunch of items for raffle, with all of the proceeds going to the same cause.

 

 

Just checked out "Old Chokes", pretty awesome. Ordered the /50 package w/ the limited cover for $8.

yes it is! I did the same, as well as the dark green/cream swirl cause it sounds cool. 

that looks so fun and it's got to be so peaceful falling like that. but I don't think I would do it! Imagine doing that from 123,000 ft holy shit.

You shouldn't surprised... as there were a lot of the aqua blue pressed.  

yeah I figured, but I mean usually stuff like this is gone within the first day. but somehow I lucked out!

 

4:11. That's soooooo long for a TA song. Holy Hell!

that's what I said about Whale Belly, which is 2:03. This is like damn, 3 times the normal length! Nonetheless, awesome songs.

True, I'm actually surprised there are still that many Aqua blue left...

yeah me too. I'm sure there are a good number of them but still. Very surprising considering how fast the others went, and how popular this release seems to be.
