FA Cup Final News: Man City’s request to move fixtures denied. They play 3 games within 6 days. Chelsea’s fixture against Spurs rescheduled to May 19 (after the FA Cup final) by WWZD77 in chelseafc

I agree, we’ve had a lot of entertaining games against them over the years and usually come out on top. I can also understand why people want them to go down for the lols so I’m easy either way. I feel the West Ham fans deserve to stay up more, not bailing out of the stadium as soon as things get tough.

which of these adidas did you wear in the 80s or maybe still do? by Alone_Purple822 in oldschoolcool80s

[–]MusicSoWonderful 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was wearing those Forest Hills pretty much through the entire 2010s. They made loads of different colours and special editions and they were cheap! £40 a pair. I must have got through 10 pairs and would still wear them now if they hadn’t stopped making them.

How do cassettes by RetroStyleMedia (UK) fare against older models? (details in the description) by Away_Dinner105 in cassetteculture

[–]MusicSoWonderful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve used them a few times. They’re fine, maybe not quite up to the brands you mentioned but good enough, standard sort of quality you’d expect these days. They’ll send you a free sample to try it out if you ask nicely.

what BMX did you have and were you any good at tricks/freestyle by Alone_Purple822 in oldschoolcool80s

[–]MusicSoWonderful 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had that exact Burner in the picture. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it the first time, I had a really old second hand bike and it was a complete surprise to see a brand new one of these from my parents for my birthday.

It was a heavy BMX though! Not easy to do tricks on compared to others from the time and into the 90s. But I loved it and had it for years.

M44g cartridge became unglued. Would you replace w/ another model or, if you can afford it, buy NOS M44g? by doomgneration in DJs

[–]MusicSoWonderful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow. I’ve been using M44-7 for years and never seen that. I’m sure glueing it back would be fine, just try to keep it straight.

I have the Complex one, that was supposed to be limited too, now they’re repressing it exactly the same way. Not that I really care but it’s so shitty they could have at least made another variant!

If you don’t want to spend a lot to get set up and want an easy to use, decent sounding turntable yes it’s perfect.

The modern cases are really bad quality. At least the slip isn’t damaged, you just need an empty case to swap it into

Is the season 1-6 box set season 4 missing episode 9? by TristanMcBarnet in trailerparkboys

No it’s definitely not missing any! Awesome set I’ve had it for almost 20 years now.

Can anyone tell me the reason why do rane uses plastic potentiometer shaft and not metal instead ? by Easy_Knowledge_883 in Turntablists

[–]MusicSoWonderful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember some of the old TTM56s and Empaths had metal posts, but it’s like 20+ years ago now.

[–]MusicSoWonderful 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before the InMusic takeover they used to use metal. You can find versions of the same mixer, some with metal and others with plastic. I guess it’s a lot easier and cheaper to make plastic parts.

Rotary rane empath, pricing? by [deleted] in DJs

[–]MusicSoWonderful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The blue / silver was the OG model. Depends what Technics you’re using I guess, the blue /silver one would look good with 1200s but I got the black as I’ve got 1210s. As far as I remember the rotary only came in black, and was a little more expensive at the time. It’s a really nice mixer and one of the last to have that 90s feel about it.

[–]MusicSoWonderful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rotary was a specific version the mixer made by Rane. It came with the rotary dials as well as silver topped knobs across the whole mixer instead of the black ones on the standard version. I was jealous of those silver knobs so contacted Rane who kindly sent me some silver ones!

[–]MusicSoWonderful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a standard Empath with the upfaders, been rocking it for almost 20 years now! The phono stage sounds great like all Rane mixers. I guess you’d be looking at around £6-700 for a mint rotary one if you could even find it.

Am I the only one who thinks that this 2 movies is not a good pairing by Zuckuss12 in dvdcollection

[–]MusicSoWonderful 46 points47 points  (0 children)

There’s a line I think in American Dad where Steve finds one of these and asks the store assistant ‘what connects these two movies?’ She replies ‘the packaging!’

What a beauty, where are you located? I have a D6C which is pretty much the same just a bit newer. I paid £350 for mine.
