ghjghj Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 So would you say it's really a translucent green, not a teal? Wonder if FBR/Hot Topic found a huge load of first press stock in some warehouse corner not touched since 2006... Or plant screwed up the colour...again?)

thejesseb Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Or plant screwed up the colour...again?) Yea there could just be some variation amongst the press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcguirk Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Yea there could just be some variation amongst the press. Is there a term to taxonomize this phenomenon? Would one color be the "3.5th press"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemongoat Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Sorry for the lame question, but this is a first for me with ordering from Hot Topic - My order status says "auto-checked". Do orders still end up shipping with that being the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museummouth Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Just bought this but then my car got smashed into in the mall parking lot. Opened it while waiting for the police to show up and I got a weird teal marble color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zayzay87971 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Yeah 2 different bar codes does one match the green variant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zayzay87971 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Surprised anyone can tell a difference by listening to the records through those PC speakers. they may be computer speakers but i'm telling you these are no ordinary computer speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zayzay87971 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 did some tracking force test now tracking at 1.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't stop, won't stop. hey im not defending them because I'm trying to look cool I'm defending them because it really doesn't sound that bad at all! The bass Subwoofer is what makes me totally ok with this speaker set up regardless of how hard i get bashed on this thread by everyone! Simple...

circuit bored records Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 did some tracking force test now tracking at 1.6 Do you actually have a tracking force gauge/scale? Or are you just spinning the numbers on the counterweight after you put it on the tonearm arbitrarily? I doubt you are actually at 1.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliforniaNoise Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Made the trip to the closest HT with vinyl records and picked up their last two (or only two?) copies, one for me and one for a friend. There's a major difference in color but I'm digging them both. The sticker size is the only other difference: UPC and serial numbers match. The first does have a vendor number on it though. The big price sticker had the translucent dark teal? Looks more green - but not as green as the previous press. (There's no scratches or anything like that. Very clear and clean). The one with the small sticker contained what I'm assuming is "teal", though its more blue than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somber_silt Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 according to the pictures posted by some of you, I doubt that the more translucent copies are from the first pressing. I think they look quite different, and hence I rather see a colour variation in the latest pressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to know if somebody fucked up by creating the opaque blue marble or if they were transitioning from another pressing. I'm going to try to find a copy of the trans teal today.

Princess Logan Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Just a warning though, my price sticker matched the one of a translucent teal but my copy is the marbled one. The stickers don't seem like a reliable way to differentiate color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminatorpig Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I wouldn't mind trading a translucent teal for a marbled teal since I bought 2 copies from paramore.net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tape Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 The bass Subwoofer as opposed to the treble Subwoofer. ditc586 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgusa8 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I personally collect treble subwoofers. Anyway, phone order still isn't showing up in my HT account to track orders. And Brand New Eyes is still on a truck somewhere. How does FBR end up having better shipping?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
