April 14, 201610 yr comment_726985 Meanwhile ... But 48% of people who bought vinyl last month admit they have yet to play it. Seven per cent of those surveyed say they do not even own a turntable. "I have vinyls in my room but it's more for decor. I don't actually play them," Jordan Katende, a student in Manchester, told BBC News. "It gives me the old-school vibe. That's what vinyl's all about," he added. http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-36027867 Report
April 14, 201610 yr comment_726993 for the first time in 6 months, I played a record I got on the day I got it...the 7" that came in the fugees record I got from VMP. Report
April 15, 201610 yr comment_727014 I, too, got the Fugees album, but didn't get home til 10, so didn't spin it. Tomorrow there is a Record Store Day pre-party at a local bar that's pretty cool, so I think I'm going to load up some nice unopened stuff and let them play it. Oh, Record Store Day... anyone going? **BRENT** Report
April 15, 201610 yr comment_727080 It was the Vinyl Me, Please album of the month; a special 20th anniversary edition only found through them. I know at least 3 of us got it, and I think today is the last day to snag it. **BRENT** Report
April 15, 201610 yr comment_727084 So, literally, yes, album of the month == flavour of the month. Report
April 23, 201610 yr comment_727946 Here's the new Vinyl Me, Please for May. Weezer - Pinkerton I was trying to decide between the 4LP deluxe edition or the MFSL edition, but this makes that decision easier, and I'll keep the subscription another month. **BRENT** Report

April 23, 201610 yr comment_728008 Top 3 reasons you know your musical tastes are dated... 1 : You think too many songs today are over sung (Star Search effect). 2 : You DO NOT think Kanye West is a genius. 3 : You always have to remind yourself who the Fugees are. Report

I have the damn MFSL release already but tempted just to sign up to triple dip. It's pretty sickening actually now that I am typing it. Report

Heh, well, don't forget to use my link and I think you may get a discount Too bad it's not 180gr. I really wish it was pink, though. I don't have enough pink vinyl. **BRENT** Report

May 1, 201610 yr comment_728841 Added a second table (VPI scout 1.1) and a mono cartridge (ortofon quintet mono) I'm running it through my back up phonostage until I can pick up another BAT phono used. WOW, listening to a japenese blue note of Lee Morgan "Candy". Soundstage depth is incredible. There is a sharpness/cleaness to the record I have never heard. This is one of the better investments involving listening to records I've made. Now to clear a separate shelf for monos only. Report

July 30, 201610 yr comment_736770 I finally acquired the EAR Discmaster turntable which has been a real chase! Just put it together a couple of weeks ago: Report
August 6, 201610 yr comment_737356 With all the excitement the previous posted turntable generated, I think another one is in order. I just picked up another new turntable to play with. It should arrive in a week or two: Redpoint Model D, Triplanar VII Tonearm, Ikeda IT-407CR1 12" version, another Helius Silver Ruby, Dynavector XV-1T cartridge, Transfiguration Orpheus L cartridge, HRS M3 Base and a Siltech Lake Compass tonearm cable. And its an interesting color to boot! Right now, I don't care much for the color, but it might grow on me when I get it. If not, I'll take it to a local shop and get it some nice automotive color. Maybe a white or grey or black...might be fun! Mass loaded design (totally different sound compared to suspended tables). About 260 lbs in total here. Report
