Thomas³ Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I'm taking my car in tonight to see why my check engine light is on, and to figure out the clunking in my front end. I'm scared to find out it's going to cost a ton :(. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I think you guys are kind of missing the point of the floating platter. Part of what they're trying to reduce is noise transfer from the tt's motor itself. Is it a perfect idea? Nope. But at least they're trying something with actual merit rather than doing something that is strictly for visual aesthetics. Also: Rez, who the fuck is bumping your table so hard/at all? Tell them to quit that shit. chkadea, The Butcha, THE_James_Champ and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell them to quit that shit. what I'm saying is it's been done before, in fact the magnetic bearings go back to the 60s when Stanton introduced them. They just have other pieces that don't give the floating visual. Here is a review of the Clearaudio one back dating back to 2008 http://www.dagogo.com/clearaudio-ceramic-magnetic-bearing-review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NapalmBrain Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 It's kinda back loaded but the new (and final ) Our Lady album is excellent, I think many of you will enjoy https://ourlady.bandcamp.com/album/lure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't a running issue, but anybody who isn't living alone faces a risk. Hell, even a dog. Looks pretty easy to knock off balance, which if it uses magnets would send the whole goddamn thing spinning and probably destroy the arm. Just looking at it stresses me out.

Trust me, no pups allowed near my vinyl That wasn't my point. The issue is that you are introducing risk that you don't really need to have when there are other options that solve it almost as well. Hell, Pro-Ject has a TT with an isolated motor IIRC too. It isn't completely silent or floating, but I'd much rather have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty much thought from my first look at it that it was a product built for fashion over function anyhow, so I'm not investing much thought into the possibility I would ever invest in it.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Oh, I would never buy it at that price. Just saying that trying to solve a legitimate trouble makes it seem like less of a gimmick to me. Anyone in my home Knows better than to mess around in my record room, including the dog and cats. Also, speaking of cats, my cat Charlie is the second cat featured in the new Lick Cats book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look pretty cool though, just not something I'd want to own either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NapalmBrain Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 it is worth noting this floating table is about $700 and the one I mentioned is far more expensive, but it just makes me feel uneasy looking at it http://hifiheaven.net/shop/Clearaudio-Emotion-SE-Turntable?language=en¤cy=USD&gclid=CL7Tv8Hm7M8CFQkoaQodrRAG4w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chkadea Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 This is entirely random, but I really feel for you guys when having to deal with shoe shopping. I've been on the hunt for hours for shoes for my somewhat particular dude, and holy wah, most are either ugly as sin or way too expensive. It is appallingly difficult to buy real leather shoes for less than 200 without the soles being atrocious, and having even an ounce of aesthetic design. And fuck all if you can skate in them. /endrant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times could have changed but I got some Havana Joe's for around $100 at Nordstrom's some years back.

NapalmBrain Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Had a short shift last night and they asked me to price 7" they had like 2 boxes and no one knows anything about them. So I grabbed a stack of stuff I thought might be worth looking up and found this gem https://www.discogs.com/Hannibal-Im-Alone-My-Kinda-Girl/release/2265717 I think they might like me a little more now, I didn't know what it was I just saw the king label and knew it was worth looking up. There were some other valuable ones in the $15-50 range (Elvis, Jackie Wilson, Linda Ronstadt test pressing) but that takes the cake so far KingTacoMunster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas³ Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 It doesn't look like the codes they pulled for my check engine light are going to be cheap :(. O2 sensor, knock sensor and Vapor Canister Vent Solenoid. The clunking in the front end is just bad sway bar links, which I can replace myself.
