Mellark Posted May 7, 2022 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
period sis Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 my new needle is about to be a year old in October so I'm good for another year methinks!
Jotham Posted May 7, 2022 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.
ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted May 7, 2022 ATRL Moderator 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

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.
Glamthony Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 Also, i'm really scared that i would screw my turntable changing the needle i'm not that much of a handyman, i'm such a damsel in distress when it comes to technical things

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.

On topic: i was crying when my turntable got delivered and i found out that i had to set it up

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. OT: That’s why I got myself a U-Turn Orbit custom, they set it up for you. All you do is the basics.
ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted May 7, 2022 ATRL Moderator 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

Well, i did i hired a handyman to set a tv stand on my wall, and he drilled something more than my room walls Back on topic; i found a video that explained step by step how to set it up, and it was actually pretty easy, now i'm gonna get a cleaning kit, for the needle and the records too

ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted May 7, 2022 ATRL Moderator 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
James_Dean Posted May 7, 2022 Author 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
Rocket Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 Are you even a true vinyl collector if you're not scamming?

I’m so impatient, it’s only been a few days lol.
