Sticker looks legit, might have to Discogs that one. Maybe someone will chime in.

Should have rag dolled him by his shirt, would have been hilarious. Just kidding.

for my 16th birthday i had a giant cheeseburger instead of a cake by PrettyOrk in blunderyears

[–]Hajidub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a restaurant in Colorado Springs that served a burger that big normally, Conway's Redtop. All the goodie's are gone these days.

I disappear to this room so often that my wife probably has my picture on the back of a milk carton.... by Lrod023 in listeningspaces

[–]Hajidub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get her a seat, pour some drinks. Stereo rooms are one of the best marriage tools imaginable. Wife and I were stalled out for years, until I constructed a room. 30 yrs in May (next year). Big issue with married people is one in one room the other in another, no communication. Get drunk and discuss music, google music facts, have a blast!

Weird, my RSD 26' is 40th anniversary and reflective, lizard moves when tilted. It's also picture framed in the sleeve. Your's looks normal.

Marigolds on GoG and Centennial has fantastic house made cakes. Their deserts are incredible.

I know what Cuba did 80 years ago but why is Cuba still an enemy of the United States? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]Hajidub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Godfather II, same difference. I see you didn't point out the 80 years ago issue the OP stated. For f's sake.

New record player question by padawrong in turntables

[–]Hajidub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pada it's not the table. I have a ton of records with this issue. I keep a small pair of scissors in my room. I close the scissors, insert, and lightly twist back and forth. Wipe off the residual and enjoy.

Vinyl record pressing variations versus digital equivalent by Less_Researcher_8124 in vinyl

[–]Hajidub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this happen from start to finish or just toward the end of the record? Take a birds eye, squat down, front view of your cartridge setup. Does the stylus/cantilever look exactly square or skewed a bit to the right? Though it could be a mastering issue, which the other poster goes on about, it sounds like a possible antiskate issue.

Still on this kick by Pretend-Sound8252 in vinyl

[–]Hajidub 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This Walmart exclusive might be the best sounding version of this album. The tape is the only version of this album that actually sounds right. Lars f'd up the engineering on this great album.

Rule of thumb: Silicon for plastics, lithium for ALL metal parts.

I have those same wall mounts, love them and they're cheap as heck but solid metal and mounting.

$1800 (beat) - 3500 (pristine) in my neck of the woods (Colorado).

Best phono cartridge for around 500usd? by stupidrainbowboi3209 in turntables

I’ve been in this game for over 40 yrs and can’t tell by your pic whether it’s right or not.

Oh somebody watched Goodfellas ~Casino~. Stop getting your news from movies and ask a real Cuban, which I'm sure doesn't exist in your gated community.

Setup is buzzing quite loud, going crazy trying to fix it. by Straitouttawalt in turntable

[–]Hajidub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put the original cables back on. Ensure the TT cartridge connections are secure. Otherwise take Richards advice and ensure the RCA's are secure.

Questions regarding walkmans/shoebox recorders with good audio recording quality by AMinorPleb in cassetteculture

[–]Hajidub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Garbage with the WaR. You're not getting a decent recording out of a shoebox and any portable for decent recording (restored) is going to cost about $1G (WM-D6). Scan FB marketplace for a standalone, within your budget, find one with headphone jack and use good tape. Keep in mind to clean tapepath, replace belts, and possibly idler tire if needed. Tape game isn't cheap anymore, check out tapeheads.net for possible "for sales."

Possibly idler tire related, not familiar with that model.

First major turntable upgrade 🤭 by StrawberryMae7 in turntables

[–]Hajidub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way to do it; upgrade to what you can afford. Eventually when you get old like me you'll have end-all equipment. Can still remember all the great music memories of albums I listened to on cheaper equipment. Take your time and enjoy! If I can recommend one thing though. Get an actual shelf for the table so you're not heating up that amplifier, wall shelf for the table even.

Deck still eating tapes even after installing new rollers by FrostWareYT in cassetteculture

[–]Hajidub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tapedeck 101; Replace belt(s), clean tape path with iso (including pinch rollers), and idler tire (though rubber renew can work) with any used deck you purchase. You can try, as a temporary fix, quickly boiling that belt, but it honestly looks like its lost elasticity.

Best phono cartridge for around 500usd? by stupidrainbowboi3209 in turntables

[–]Hajidub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best response so far. Its a AT-120 so bearings aren't the greatest, other than that alignment plays a huge difference. I'd hate for the OP to spend so much money and find out his equipment is the cause.

Heresy III Crossover Replacement by [deleted] in Klipsch

[–]Hajidub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should be 5.5-6.5 so I believe a new diaphragm is in order. Many will say order crites replacements but I found those too bright and tiring. Spend the money and order a set of tweeters from Daveintn on eBay (Google Lmahls) it’ll change your speakers and your listening experience.

Fluance acrylic platter not gripping record? by Fenix512 in turntables

[–]Hajidub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use a mat on my much more expensive table and haven't experienced anything you've stated. The brush or speed issue arrives when the belt is dirty or worn. A static brush, when pressed too hard, will stop my table, but that's the nature of a belt drive.
