| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw: Isn't the Vinyl Flat a God-send? One less thing to be concerned about when when searching for hard-to-find LP's! | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! My first record store job was in 1970-1, and let me tell ya, we had to return a LOT of defective new release LP’s that year, whole batches of them. LP pressing quality has ALWAYS been an issue. That’s one reason I and others started buying import ... | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! @adrobitko: Yep, but that is what I and others have been talking about. Your post reads "My problem with new the pressings are quality" (you obviously meant to say ...with the new pressings....), implying all new pressings are of the same quality.... | |
| Dipole speakers, subwoofers and that rear wall Sound travels at approximately one foot per millisecond. For two sounds to appear unrelated, they must be separated in time a minimum of 10 milliseconds (it’s a function of how our brain perceives and processes sound). For that reason it is recomm... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Today I listened to a CD I bought on Discogs, He Walks Through Walls by Julie Miller. Julie is now a major artist---along with her husband/partner Buddy Miller, producer, singer, guitarist, and band leader for Emmylou Harris---in the Americana mus... | |
| The price of used LP's. @sns: Having traded in some LP’s at the shops I patronize, I know how they can afford to sell them for $3-$10: they pay only $1-$3 for trade-ins! Vinyl Community member Norman Maslov ("Mazzy") posted a new YouTube video yesterday talking about hi... | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! @big_greg: The first Rock 'n' Roll colored vinyl album I saw and bought (in 1970!) was Dave Mason's great debut album, Alone Together (recorded by the legendary Al Schmitt.). Accompanying Dave are the all-star cast of Leon Russell, Chris Ethridge ... | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! Excellent post @big_greg! I too have no use for or interest in colored vinyl LP's. Seems like something made for girls, or little kids The first ones I had were in the mid-50's---translucent red kiddie records, 10" iirc, or maybe the more common ... | |
| Sub Decision Very few have heard the two most unique subs currently available: 1- The GR Research/Rythmik OB/Dipole Servo-Feedback Subwoofer, the only one of it's kind in existence, now or in the past. 2- For frequencies below 20Hz at at 120dB, there is only... | |
| The price of used LP's. @whart: Yeah Bill, the hardest-to-find titles in my wants list will most likely never be found locally, but hope springs eternal. What I find locally are albums I either somehow missed (the John Simon), or common titles that I wasn't interested in... | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! I have one album I like so much I have it on three different LP pressings: Born Under A Bad Sign by Albert King (if you like Stevie Ray Vaughan, you NEED this album). An original on Stax Records, the first reissue on Sundazed, and the new reissue ... | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! Another point to be made is that in the comparison between an original pressing and a reissue, there may not be a clear winner: the original may better the reissue in some regards, the reissue the original in others. Another reason to characterize... | |
| Yeah, I'm aware of what day it is C’mon man, lay off ;-) . At least I didn't delete it. | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! @flasd: Uh, the quip about smoking LSD is what’s called a joke. The joke’s on me; I didn’t anticipate anyone not having heard it before, or of not getting it now (I am guilty of giving people too much credit). I first heard it out of the mouth of ... | |
| The price of used LP's. @edcyn: Put your covers in clear plastic outer sleeves; makes ’em look much more valuable ;-) . A guy in Canada is making some great ones (company name Vinyl Storage Solutions), featuring his patented "Double Pocket" (available in both 2mil and 4m... |
