cowdemon Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 It's the tables lack of counterweight. Tape a quarter to the top of the cart and it'll fix the problem, but honestly those tables are basically toys and will ruin all your records. The quarter method will ruin them faster but you'll see that it's not the record that's fucked up. Was worried this wouldn't fix it but you're right, no skips to be found. Now to another issue, I don't want to ruin my records, especially TOYPAJ, are there any similar turntables that are better? I essentially bought this one cause it was my first one and not extremely expensive for a college student Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't care, use a Crosley. Check here... http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/84491-new-to-vinyl-faq-sticky-me/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinylfilmaholic Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 IIRC, ship to store doesn't have tracking since it usually gets sent with the rest of the store's shipments and stuff. Hmm, weird because the last time I had something shipped to store a few months back I could check the tracking on their site. Oh well, as long as they let me know as soon as the package is ready for me to pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizza face Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I have the same problem, it says shipped but no other info. I couldn't find the actual tracking number either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizza face Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Which reminds me of this one hot topic I went to. They had all the records people shipped to store on the counter by the register. Anyone could have walked by, looked at the name and been like oh yeah that's me, can I have now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone could have walked by, looked at the name and been like oh yeah that's me, can I have now? That's a horrible idea. I always give them my name, then they go into the back and get me my box.

pizza face Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 That's how it usually is at the one I frequent, they always go into the back for my order. This specific store doesn't even carry records but that doesn't justify leaving people's paid for items in reach for anyone to grab if they'd like lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agua Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 They're supposed to check ID too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himynameisShane Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 They're supposed to check ID too I've never had my ID checked I actually had my mom pick my package up once and they didn't even question it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Potter Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Picked up my copies in store today. The package came with $15 off $30 hot cash too... I know they take records off the website when hot cash is active but can you use it on in store vinyl purchases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard a few people who say they've been able to when their location's employees don't know store policy, but generally, not, they're not supposed to sell you vinyl if you pay with Hot Cash.

Friendly1 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 So happy these are back up! Is there a timeline for the +44 and BCR presses? At least for this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlinkandPanic Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 So happy these are back up! Is there a timeline for the +44 and BCR presses? At least for this year?

kjkenney Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 The intro to Lycanthrope was cut off. That's all I remember anywho. It just kicks right in Oh and the mastering was weird.

MikePortly Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Yikes, someone reviewed the TOYPAJ repress on Hot Topic's site. "why do so many hot topic repress sound like garbage? get near the center of the record and this press sounds worse than an mp3. stop taking advantage of kids who dont know any better. limited edition my ar$e, stop relation the same color variants over and over again.."

circuit bored records Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 He's describing inner groove distortion caused by poor performance of a turntable due to bad cartridge/bad alignment/bad tonearm geometry/bad table. It has absolutely nothing to do with the pressing, even though these all do sound like shit (but for other reasons than IGD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopperdudep Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Anyone receive their Untitled album and give it a spin yet? Anyone else have a left channel drop out on the first quarter of "Go"? Or did something freaky just happen to my press or maybe a speaker wire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
