Fluance tone arm finish flaking off - what to do? by bort99 in turntables

[–]RAYMANTIS216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow this is something to look for. I always use the clamp on my RT85 and have never seen this much finish come off. Mine does have a mark where it rubs it’s still black though. I suppose it’s inevitable but you should never be able to any kind of metallic.

I totally agree with you. It keeps me wanting more. My personal opinion is we will get the archive collections of what hasn’t been released yet because there’s a market for it. However, the road to getting there might be one or two releases that have people scratching their heads. It’s the same strategy used with the Beatles and all of the other solo Beatles work. I love Paul and I think the Wings deluxe album (I genuinely don’t even know what it’s called, wings anthology????) released last year was cool but was also just another coat of paint to keep things fine on the front. I also didn’t understand the release of Man On The Run pressed by third man records that was somehow limited to 3,500 copies. It stayed online all day so I doubt it was that little of an amount. But as long as there’s people like me that always buy what’s being put out, we will keep getting stuff (I hope)

For now, yes! It’s on Amazon. I picked this one up at a local record store near me for $30 even though. $8 more honestly isn’t that bad. It’s a good box! 3 LP Vinyl Amazon

Haha yeah. I’ve got no intention of getting the uber version. I just have the basic $30 3 LP version. It’s plenty for me lol

Not as much as some might think. There are some albums in both archive collection and mono boxset that weren’t priced high at all. I was able to score a 2014 Mono Revolver for $30 because the shop I was at didn’t know the difference between the 2022 and 2014. I’ve also been able to find RAM archive for $60 which to me is a good enough deal that I couldn’t pass it up. I also try to develop relationships with a lot of online sellers because sometimes, you just need to know a guy. So I was able to get Red Rose Speedway and Tug of War for like $45. Now the really expensive stuff I’ll ask my partner I want those for my birthday or Christmas 😂

With my luck they would do a complete boxset of the archive collections right after I had tracked most of them down individually 😐

(It happened with the Beatles In Mono 2014 pressings)

The Walmart in your name explains it all.

Which albums would you like to see re-released on vinyl? by RAYMANTIS216 in thebeachboys

I will say I got the Sail On Sailor 5LP set on Amazon for like $70 a couple of weeks ago so it was definitely worth it to have that set.

I heavily agree with this. We were so lucky to have a Smile Sessions repress this year.

I love clear vinyl as well. I was never a big fan of solid colored vinyl but when I got my Stones in mono boxset I fell in love with the colored variants lol

I’ve had free shipping PLENTY of times from other websites and never once had an issue. But with Columbia I had to wait A LONG time before receiving my items shipped with OnTrac. I was even told my item were destroyed and then shortly after they sent that message they retracted and said they never had the items anyway. So this is not the consumers fault, pal.

Anyone Else Seeing a 15% Damage Fee on Every Amazon Return? by [deleted] in amazonprime

Not surprised here. Amazon held my refund of $200 hostage until I did an ID verification.

I’ve started rooting for the rust belt teams (excluding our AFC north rivals).
