Person #1: "Yay, I just downloaded the entire Trapez catalogue. All that hard work was totally worth it!"
Person #2: "Yay, I just found that elusive Perlon 12” I've been looking for. Now I have every release. All that hard work was totally worth it!"
I dunno about anybody else, but the *feeling* I get from looking at a crate of records in the corner of my bedroom knowing full well the time and money spent searching for some of them is quite a bit more satisfying than looking at my hard drive full of mp3s, awesome though they may be.

Personally I'd think, "Hey nice, now I can spend my time and money on stuff like, say, food. And travel. Etc." would trump said feeling several times over. At least that's how *I* feel!

600 Records = 6 months Club Play. I'm paid to change each song.
26,000 MP3's = 16 years of home listening. Software changes song for free

having said that, i certainly don't look back fondly on the time and money involved. i would be much happier if i had found them all in someone's basement for free. free records are the best. soon followed by records for a quarter, records for fifty cents, records for a dollar, etc.

the wall of wax (great pics btw) just makes me think about the pointlessness of accumulation & the inevitability of death. at least mp3's are already virtually nothing.

I have a Rega turntable but I am probably going to get something else at some point. Not a fan of Rega's "internal ground" that literally no other manufacturer uses. To many random hums and buzzes for my taste. Anyone else have issues?

It is the only thing I don't like about my Rega (and is it all of them? I feel like it was only the P1s or P2s?) and sometimes it really annoys me but I've generally learned to live with it. Though a lot times I would try to point it out to people when we used be able to occupy the same physical space to listen to records and most people didn't notice unless I said something and sometimes not even then.
I've had the table for 15 yrs now and I'm unlikely to change it anytime soon.

just make sure you use unibond titebond II i think it's called, i have heard bad things about others.

i had problems a few years ago, but not for a while, i think it might be when i got a new cartridge, i think it might be related to the wires in the headshell
overall it seems like a solution in search of a problem and at odd with their really stripped down and functional design
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 11 February 2021 17:36 (three years ago) link
Exactly, sort of a galaxy brain move.
My preamp is in the shop and it was buzzing as well so I am curious what I think when I get it back. I am hoping it resolves most of the issues and improves the sound as well.
― Rocky Thee Stallion (PBKR), Thursday, 11 February 2021 18:00 (three years ago) link
posted on a different thread but I went on a fun journey from "hmmm, something's a bit off with the sound" to "you should get a decent cartridge" to "maybe yours is just not aligned properly" to "you actually *can't* properly align a cartridge on your turntable because it's a straight underhanging arm that's meant for scratching and not really for listening", so yup got a new one coming in the mail, this hobby is so fun
― frogbs, Thursday, 11 February 2021 18:09 (three years ago) link
i ordered a pretty expensive record and the vinyl was sealed in this stuff called 'Last', a sort of protective coating. never seen it before and can't find any info about it online, (it's a french record from the 70s). does this negatively affect the value of the record at all? the vinyl is pristine and sounds amazing, so i personally have no problem with it, but vinyl fetishists can be very weird
― global tetrahedron, Thursday, 11 February 2021 18:17 (three years ago) link
xp What did you get?
I've got tubes in my amp and preamp, so there are hums and buzzes coming and going from time to time. I've gotten pretty good about diagnosing the source.

The 30-second treatment affects the vinyl to a depth of about ten molecular layers and becomes part of the groove wall. There are no surface residues for the stylus to pick up. In fact, overuse is harmless.
not sure how legit this is tho

PBKR - I got the AT-LP120X with Bluetooth. figured it might be nice to have that so I can use headphones since I sit about 15 feet away. I've heard a lot of good things about that turntable, pretty much everyone says it's a great entry/midlevel one for those who don't want to break the bank
those cleaning products drive me crazy, there are just so fucking many of them. I have the D4+ discwasher system which doesn't do much (just kinda pushes the dirt around), plus one of those brushses that's pretty decent at removing debris. for cleaning the stylus I just do the Magic Eraser thing, though I'm kind of confused, do you just tap the surface or does it actually have to penetrate the surface? (I've seen YT videos showing both)
― frogbs, Thursday, 11 February 2021 18:40 (three years ago) link
I use the Magic Eraser on my stylus too; I just drop the needle on the eraser for maybe a second once or twice, and then lift it off. Can't remember where I read about that method, but it seems to work, and a few times I've seen dirt from the stylus left on the Eraser.
