| 200g vinyl, more static? Seems I'm not crazy..."Record players and records are particularly susceptible to static for a few reasons. Firstly, in the vinyl material itself, it has a very suitable medium for the buildup of static charge and ironically, the thicker and purer... | |
| Only 1 Lacquer producer left, in a garage in Japan? Sounds legit..."In an interview with Pitchfork, Third Man Records co-founder Ben Blackwell said the Apollo fire “will present a problem for the vinyl industry worldwide.” He noted that Apollo was one of just two companies that make lacquer discs, ... | |
| Bad Fire: Worldwide Vinyl Supply Threatened “There are only two companies worldwide that produce lacquers. One of these companies is a one-man operation in Japan run by an old man who produces the lacquers in his garage."NOT GOODhttps://www.factmag.com/2015/05/07/pressed-to-the-edge-vinyl/ | |
| Bad Fire: Worldwide Vinyl Supply Threatened I’d like to believe they could just pick up and rebuild but I don’t think that is the case. The machinery is gone, can’t just up and order this stuff and the people that knew the most about it all are dead, not in the fire but via time.I also read... | |
| Bad Fire: Worldwide Vinyl Supply Threatened What is worse is they more than likely won't be able to rebuild in California with the laws. Beyond that, the machines they were using are more than likely non existent today. | |

I recently purchased what I call my "mid-life" crisis stereo. All analog, all tubes. I’ve wanted something like this for 20 years.I fell... | |
| Manley Chinook - chronic issues Thanks for the replies. Didn’t mean to come of complaining just frustrated. I thought I had made progress to find I had not. I talked with Paul from Manley and I've been in communication with both Upscale and Manley, and to be honest VPI and Sound... | |
| Disappointing vinyl purchase Sounds like a bad pressing, but to be honest its probably just being pressed at a crapy plant.If it's not MOFI, QRP, or the one in France or the Czech Rep. I don't buy it, I go digital. Best you can do it buy from Acoustic Sounds or Music Direct ... |
