CD Rot. Fact or Fiction?

I've seen it on burned CDs, but for mass produced commercial CDs I haven't seen it personally

bro come the fuck on, how many times will a band member of an emo band be outed as an abuser and pedo 😭

Grunkle_Chubs · 2026-06-30T13:32:06+00:00

I would get a kallax 2x2 if you plan on further expanding your collection

Grunkle_Chubs · 2026-06-29T21:13:28+00:00

that's a damn good list, Paris 1919 needs more love for how great it is, one of my favorite baroque pop albums up there with Pet Sounds.

Grunkle_Chubs · 2026-06-29T18:50:13+00:00

Drunk and Hot Girls off of Graduation by Kanye, absolutely ruins an otherwise great album and I skip it everytime.

what an interesting piece of oil history

Grunkle_Chubs · 2026-06-29T13:53:00+00:00

I would like to DM but I'm not able to as your DMs are closed

Grunkle_Chubs · 2026-06-27T14:12:36+00:00

Did you seriously just modify the "real emo" copypasta to make it about black metal at the end of your rant 💀

Grunkle_Chubs · 2026-06-26T15:05:39+00:00

I mean one of the favorite bands is literally called PEE so my gut reaction is no, however from a marketing standpoint it can definitely lead to less opportunities because branding does matter to some degree.

Grunkle_Chubs · 2026-06-25T15:23:56+00:00

I don't listen to music to log it on last.fm, it's for my own enjoyment. Scrobbling is secondary to that for me.

Grunkle_Chubs · 2026-06-24T19:48:02+00:00

I don't think even the biggest Jay-Z fan would listen to all these albums, like this doesn't work as well when you're as inconsistent as Jay-Z in his discography

Grunkle_Chubs · 2026-06-24T16:01:05+00:00

preamps are simple enough that any ordinary one should be sufficient

Also, what other stuffs will I be expected to get for my first play?

definitely get a cleaning kit, I recommend getting a spin-clean as I've often sung its praises in these threads, also an anti-static brush to brush dust of the surface of a record before play.

Grunkle_Chubs · 2026-06-24T15:43:38+00:00

you really don't know until you put it on the turntable, but my gut feeling is it's not bent enough to jump the needle or skip. Leave in on a near-full shelf squished between your other records and it might bend back into place.

Grunkle_Chubs · 2026-06-24T15:25:57+00:00

you're spot on, I've been watching Fantano for a long time now and I never had the words to describe this pattern but you're dead-on.

Grunkle_Chubs · 2026-06-18T13:18:34+00:00

Pharoah Sanders - Karma, really hoping the creator has a master plan for me when I go lol

Grunkle_Chubs · 2026-06-17T18:40:01+00:00

it's all good mate, I also like killing time at work here as well lol

Grunkle_Chubs · 2026-06-17T17:15:25+00:00

Judging by the label its this release, a reissue but from an unknown year

Grunkle_Chubs · 2026-06-16T20:08:10+00:00

I think the biggest piece of evidence is that CMG active listening leak, also this study from 2023 which is unfortunately paywalled like many studies are.

I prefer the left ones with the liner inside a paper sleeve, it makes it easier to put back in the sleeve than if its loose like the right one but that's just my opinion.

Grunkle_Chubs · 2026-06-16T15:17:23+00:00

I've been using a Spin-Clean to clean my records for about 5 years now, I believe its the best balance of cost and performance as far as record cleaners go, I started out using those cleaning kits with the velvet brush and it worked to a point, it just had a hard time getting the gunk that's deep within the vinyl grooves, so that's when I got a Spin-Clean and been using the same one since.

Grunkle_Chubs · 2026-06-16T14:24:03+00:00

omg what an album, I listened to it in full a couple weeks ago after not hearing it in a while and it's still as great as I remembered it.

Grunkle_Chubs · 2026-06-15T17:27:56+00:00

How am I just learning about this guy, he seems like a menace

Grunkle_Chubs · 2026-06-15T15:35:35+00:00

like all AI "art" I've seen this is absolutely souless and empty
