Thanks guys! also to doug, the lady in that video I've met her as she is a local music teacher and I've seen her do and lead a uke conference at our Illinois music teachers conference. Unfortunately she is pretty terrible and represents a part of uke education I'm very much in opposition to, but thank you for the thought and sentiment

record store day! Clear vinyl, the sound quality is remarkable (Kevin Gray all analog chain mastering)

Yay! Thank you! Good to hear you will be able to make it out this weekend, it's been awhile since I've hung out so I'm looking forward to reconnecting with everyone.

Sweet! Seriously I'm happy to pick up.

Me! I'll grab em, would make nice classroom instruments.

Rhino 45th anniversary reissue, great sounding pressing

Ok Computer capitol vinyl pressing apparently its been 20 years! Pitchfork released a limited edition zine with custom artwork and some reflections and they were passing them out at a record store I stopped by in the city.

You could make a case that even though the content data is the same, how the provider presents that data can have an influence on quality.

Practically speaking I truly found very little difference between the two in real actual watching so I'm fine chalking up the issues I'm noticing purely to just a crappy feed. Regardless, treat this as motivation to get serious about cutting the cord.

Yeah I've been really happy with my Netflix content quality wise. Today I really started noticing a choppiness in my Comcast and some weird grainieness. Thinking maybe we can survive across Netflix, amazon prime, and maybe pick up Hulu to round out and we'd still save a good chunk from Comcast.

Love that I'm just noticing this today lol. Seriously need to consider cutting the cord, what are some of the more popular options out there? The kids for sure can survive purely on Netflix, and the wife and I just need enough TV for a few shows and major sports.

Arcade fire - funeral (vinyl)

Want.

How do I actually get the $10 off? When I click on join the club, it still quotes me at the original price and it doesn't show me a place to enter some kind of discount code.

So Jim it's not as horrific as the early reviews are saying?

Radiohead the bends, and reading lyrics off the record insert I've come to a few conclusions. #1 - I have been mistaken on so many lyrics for like 20 years now lol #2 - this album is mad fucked up yo.

Awesome. So I'd like my you to build me a new steel string in solid cocobolo with a adi spruce top, French polish/shellac finish and of course all hide glue construction. K thx.

The edge painting pad works perfectly, it literally tracks along the grooves smoothly and the brush itself caused zero marks and really pulled junk out of the groove well. Ill check out the spin clean cloths too, as the drying would probably be a little more efficient.

That is a fantastic cover!

Finally got around to cleaning some used vinyl. I ended up going with DIY route, and picked up some chemical nonionic surfactant that was recommended on the library of congress page to make a little home brew solution that ended up working really well. Got a $3 painting edge pad from Home Depot for a wet brush, worked perfectly! Rinsed off in sink using normal faucet water, then did a little bath in distilled water set in a basin, dried off with some microfiber towels, and voila! Nice and quiet and clean on some of grandmas old records and my used vinyl digs. Cleaned about 20 records for about $5 at most of materials.

Excuse my ignorance, but isn't this a good scenario where an opamp actually performs well? At minimum it's a more cost effective option.

You'll be happy to hear that I visited two of the places on that list today

Will definitely check out elusive disc. I just received my first brand new vinyl order today from soundstage direct, Beatles rubber soul and a pet sounds Kevin gray mono mastering. I've also got Radiohead kid a, moon shaped pool, and Coldplay rush of blood to the head (for the wife, yup) coming soon, and just ordered Chet baker sings,wilco YHFT, and Jeff Buckley grace Kevin gray mastering last night, all from soundstage. Their shipping is total overkill and they offered the option to avoid cover seam splits by opening the album and shipping the record outside its album cover. And something about the way their website is formatted makes it really easy to spend money...

Anti static mat (cork rubber) with anti static brush not enough? Honest question, no snark implied.

It's been a week and have to say I'm really digging this vinyl thing. Have ordered a good chunk of new vinyl mixed in with some nice used bargain finds, like the bill Evans above. Tried to keep my uturn somewhat minimal, went with ortofon om5e and internal preamp, hooked to my emotiva dc1 and powering stealth 6's (no cue lever! Haha). Really happy with the sound, the cart tracks really well, and have gotten some pretty clean vinyl so far I guess next question are accessories...looking at the spin clean manual record washer, but I don't think I have enough records to really warrant a cleaning system yet. Just picked up an audio quest brush and got a cork/rubber mat coming from turntable lab tomorrow. Using the magic eraser trick for stylus cleaning, thing freaking works. Will probably just focus on getting more vinyl lol.
