Mellark Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I just pre-ordered Sigrid's new album on vinyl, signed. Tell me why this is the final product: https://twitter.com/alejandrosvinyl/status/1522680571616325632/photo/1 It's supposed to be a sunburst orange vinyl, it's red.

I can't remember nnnn I would tell you, but the last three turntables I had got returned. I literally only ever buy one when I get a ton of records and wanna play them to make sure they sound good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jotham Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 My collector's edition of Dawn FM finally arrived! I wish the record was coloured but I love the cover art so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted May 7, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted May 7, 2022 I've had a grado prestiege needle for about 2 years. Might upgrade next year, especially now that I'm using my turntable more and more but I think I'll be okay for a while considering there was a point in time I wasn't using my TT at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just clean it weekly. I’m not that concerned because I spent A LOT on my Ortofon blue stylus so that **** better last as long as I want it to.

I always order handyman service when I buy something that needs to be put together. And typically guy is usually so hot and muscular, so I’m sitting there staring at him work on MY stuff for an hour.

But chile, the danger in my mind went from potentially needing a penicillin shot, to ending up in the ICU, and the D wasn’t worth it.

ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted May 7, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted May 7, 2022 Come to think of it I'm pretty sure one of the only drawbacks of U-Turn Orbits is that it's notoriously difficult to change the needle. Eek, a problem for another year day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted May 7, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted May 7, 2022 Does anyone here recommend any disc cleaners (like the electric powered ones) in particular? I feel like that would be a worthy investment in the somewhat near future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_Dean Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 I was so happy to snag a copy of Loud during the recent restocks... I was hoping it'd be a pink copy, but apparently they're just black. Still happy, nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m so impatient, it’s only been a few days lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
