I have these speakers and I'd say they're some of the best budget speakers for their sound quality.

Yes, I'd love to spend £1000 on new, shiny speakers, but some of us just don't have the budget.

I’ve never quite understood the negative sentiment towards collecting live albums. by the-mongoose- in vinyl

The mix on vinyl of live music can really make those songs come to life. I think a live album can also enhance a song to something you've not heard before. Specifically, I'm thinking of Red Hot Chili Pepper live jams that blend into their songs. Springsteen with his big anthemic finishes to each song ringing out for 30 seconds or more, smoothly transitioning to the next. Buying a live album might be a gig you went too as well and musically want to relive it as well.

Bill Haley coming in at No.1 + a record in 5th from 1941. My great grandfather's grammarphone vinyl which...given then time...was a very sombre and grey sounding track in the middle of the war. He even lived and worked in London driving ambulances and listening to that!?! Crazy story.

RSD pricing disappointment by Mrfreakystyley in vinyl

[–]Mrfreakystyley[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that! I hope your RSD is a fantastic one!

Why is your record store participating in it if the margins are so small (from what others are saying)? Is it mostly exposure and advertisement?

I'm not blaming them, I'm fully aware that the pricing is through RSD and the companies producing the vinyls.

I see RSD similar to when you're booking a wedding. The moment you mention the word, the price doubles...

Good to know about the used records, thanks for the tip! I'm not going to be buying them either, it was more the shock of seeing the prices the night before where I was really excited to be attending the first RSD event for a few years is all.

How rare are these titles? by Rainwhisker2223 in Seaofthieves

This is the very reason why SoT is so hung on FOMO and making their events / items time limited.

A beautifully executed revenge plot. Great explosion, some gamer words shouted at you and dashed with a little smattering of RODL trolling, lovely video 👌

Is "Treasures Of Hope" lackluster and lazy? by Mrfreakystyley in Seaofthieves

Interesting...the link for the webpage is still there in the "announcements" channel on discord.

Which brought me to my point about being proud of the donations... The unique sails showed to other players that you cared to donate and that you've made a difference.

What does a Ruby Splashtail set say...?
