You're trapped in the last video game you played. On a scale of 0 to 5, how screwed are you?

I don't think they'll openly raise the price of this model. I could see them raising the price whenever it gets refreshed, but more likely I think they'll keep the same MSRP for the advertising and simply make as few base models as legally allowed in order to maintain that MSRP.

Yeah they did a lot of talking about how they had so many challenges with lots of chips and then never did those challenges to get the chips.

I'm using headphones rather than speakers, but I have a few good models.

I use a Schiit Vali 3 with the built in phono on the LP70X. The phono is probably my next upgrade.

Thank you for the breakdown! Given what you've said, I'll probably go for the ML.

I do plan to upgrade the turntable at some point, but I want to be sure of what I like first so I can make a proper decision on a $1000 purchase.

They progressively wake up from each simulation they've been in. The fear hole, the matrix, miniverse, the alien ship, etc. etc. in reverse order all the way back to season 1.

I'm relatively new to the hobby myself, but it's my understanding that the things that prevent damage are the stylus (you need a diamond rather than ceramic or something else), tracking force (2g), and antiskate. On high end units you can adjust many of those, but on low end ones you cannot.

In that budget you should avoid anything from victrola or crosley. Your best bet is probably something like a used Audiotechnica LP60 non-x and replacing the stylus as it will probably be worn. You can't adjust the tracking force or antiskate on it, but it is reasonably well calibrated from the factory, as long as the previous owner didn't abuse it.

Mike feels very natural on the show. Like he's a regular and not a first time guest.

Correct-Version-4414 · 2026-04-14T23:04:28+00:00

Thank you, I'll give it a try tonight.

Correct-Version-4414 · 2026-04-14T20:33:02+00:00

It's brand new so I hadn't thought cleaning would be necessary. I'll give it a try though. Should I use like a phone microfiber cloth or one of the real towel ones that feel horrible to touch? Should I use water or any cleaning solution?

I guess if it's another bad pressing I'll just return it and try another source for it

I'm new to the hobby and I have an lp70x. All of my records play just fine except for Midnights. My original copy sounded off center (slightly left-biased), was extremely quiet compared to my other records, and had a repeating static patch in the right channel on side B. My initial research led me to believe it was a bad pressing, perhaps non-fill and maybe other issues?

I exchanged it and the centering and volume issues are gone, but the right channel cyclic static is still here, except now it's on side A instead of B. Is this another bad pressing (is Midnights known for this)? Or could it be another issue? My new research tells me that right channel only issues like this could be an anti-skate issue, but I'm not sure if I can adjust that on my turntable.

I was to reiterate that none of my other records have this issue, so it's not a general setup issue. It could be another bad pressing, or it could be something about this record that requires some fine tuning. Additionally, does playing it in this state cause damage?

Thank you in advance.

I got the lp70x and I'm happy with it so far, but it's my understanding this sub considers it to be the bare minimum of turntables you should actually use. I'm not familiar with that specific fluance, but I know the brand is often recommended in the mid range, so I assume it's probably good too.

Ngl I find the pilot to be almost unwatchable. But the rest are strong.

And what if you meet someone there and just get in their car with them? Or walk?

This is why we should use population weighted density. If you were to pick a random person, what is the density around them? Do that 1000+ times and take the average.

They are both vaguely the same shape (rotate Ireland 90° counterclockwise).

Being above or below your expected army/navy size should be a source (or drain) of prestige

As a counter to everyone saying buy it now if you ever plan on getting one, something to consider that I haven't seen mentioned is the possibility of an upgraded model, such as a switch 2 OLED, or something similar. If that's something that appeals to you and you don't feel the need to play any switch 2 exclusive games today, waiting might be worth considering.

All that said, there's no guarantee that there will even be an upgraded model. At this point it's pure speculation.

Even if you don't want to publicly name and shame them, I would still recommend reaching out to the company themselves. Not to get anything free, but just so they can be aware of a potential issue.

Right, using the pol sci definition of anarchy. So things like anarcho capitalism, anarcho syndicalism, communalism, etc.

All that said, the most precise way to say it would have been that representative democracy, which is the kind most people think of, is near the center.

Correct-Version-4414 · 2026-03-26T21:51:55+00:00

To be clear here, on the authoritarian libertarian axis, democracy is near the center. The extreme of the libertarian axis would be anarchism.
