3fingersdown Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 1. Going from the first track into Sixteen Saltines there is a shorter intro than the 7' inch and it skips a little, either that or the intro is the same and it skips A LOT. (can't really tell but it seems like the intro is shorter) 2. Also, this record is REALLY quiet on my system. I have the volume a quarter higher than I normally do. I'm not bitching or anything because I love this album, just wondering if anyone else's is like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yocaseycasey Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 You should keep returning it until it's perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathroommonkey Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 listening to it right now. i didn't hear any skips. it's quiet-ish but i needs to be played loud anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3fingersdown Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 it's quiet-ish but i needs to be played loud anyway. Fuck yeah, this album is amazing. I cleaned it at first and it was still skipping, but after a few spins it cleared up so who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I always wonder when people say it skips what they play it on Some of those cheap ass record players dont even have a tone arm weight and would skip on the slightest thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seamoney Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 mine skips too. how do you change the weight on the arm? Put two or three quarters on top of your stylus. Maybe even a fourth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youspinmeround Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I always wonder when people say it skips what they play it on I just think of some college kid playing it on a 50 dollar crosley through 25 dollar speakers saying it sounds bad, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkticon Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Spinning my copy for the first time. Missing Pieces was fine. But when Sixteen Saltines kicked in the mix was crazy loud. Then during Forever At 21, about a minute in, the audio went in and out 5-6 times before balancing out again. Love the album though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
