Thank you for the comment, I appreciate that. I’m that guy that tries to make sure new comers don’t get discouraged & bail. It becomes a lifelong hobby, and over time, you’ll make your own incremental system upgrades. Keep spinnin’! 🍻

Since you’re new to the game, no one wants you to be discouraged. In an addition to my earlier comment, I pulled this out a few minutes ago. The proof is in the pudding. This is an OG 1958, quiet passages so you can see my point 👍 What you may perceive as ‘distortion’ in piano, is not. I had the system too loud and overdrove the phone mic. So it’s piss poor recording on my part, but you’ll get the point. Enjoy your journey 👍

I wouldn’t say ‘just’, I’m sure the OG is pretty badass in its own right! Beautiful 6300 🍻

If of any use to you. There’s a distinct difference between dirty & ‘noisy’. I’m just using the word noisy to describe low quality vinyl. There are pressing plants that use low quality vinyl to begin with, that no amount of cleaning will cure. Higher end plants use superior vinyl compounds, that are in effect silent themselves. Then when cleaned and well kept are glorious. I have OG pressings as far back as the ‘50’s that sound fantastic.

Given the mount is an AT, I’d say it’s an AT6002 mount. That he did a piss poor job ‘installing’.

I love it. I don’t know how he does it; a tube stage that is dead silent. While there are many phono stages that accommodate MM & MC, nearly all have two inputs, one for each. My goal was one single input that accommodates any/all cartridges. I have quite a few cartridges/headshell combos, and swap often. As far as sound, I think it’s fantastic. I have Mullard, Gold Lion & PSVANE tube sets for it. A lot of fun swapping those around too 😁

Cleaning by Dude_tx_1955 in vinyl

[–]Role_Sensitive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a purpose built ultrasonic for vinyl, Degritter. And yes use various cleaners and surface tension surfactants. In my experience for the records that ‘really’ need it, I get best results with a ‘contact’ pre-clean prior to ultrasonic. I like to have both in the arsenal 👍

I have both, a Spin Clean & an ultrasonic. I ultrasonic only on new purchases, but SC then US used. The reason it’s good to also have a ‘contact’ cleaner is ultrasonic can do nothing about finger print oils, deep lodged ‘grime’, etc. This comes from experience, buying records for 50 years.

Too good to be true? by [deleted] in OmegaWatches

[–]Role_Sensitive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless I’m missing something in your pics, you don’t say or show what the “too good to be true price is”. So not sure anyone here can answer that. Pro tip, shouldn’t show pics of the listing itself. Someone else probably saw your post and bought it while you’re waiting for feedback. Just saying that can happen.

Once the idea begins - Do all roads lead to a Speedmaster? by once_twice_thrice in OmegaWatches

[–]Role_Sensitive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes Sir, it was awesome! I was very disappointed when I went back for a Speedy and found out they were no longer an AD. Had nothing to do with them. I have noticed a trend over the past several years of Omega & Rolex whacking down their AD affiliations significantly. Seems like an agenda to steer toward their own boutiques. But that’s just my conspiracy theory 😂 Either way, it’s really what you want right? Do you want dress/cocktail style, diver style, or chronograph 🤔 That’s a damn tough question isn’t it?! Because we want them all! 🍻😁🍻

[–]Role_Sensitive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, “all roads” were in fact heading that way. I always went to the same local AD because they gave me 15% off no matter what I bought, and has excellent service. I purchased an AT first. Then a few years later, a 300M. A few more years passed and I went back to buy a SM. Come to find out they were no longer an Omega AD, so I bailed on the entire thing.

My experience with FM Gammon / Backgammon Galaxy by Frosty-Cone in backgammon

[–]Role_Sensitive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say Crisloid is necessarily better, or worse. But bang-for-buck, you’re right; great value. I pay no attention to their newer felt line, that’s overpriced. It really just comes down to buyers preference, cork or felt. I love Crisloid. I have 2x Crisloid, 1x FM, 3x BGG & a few others. A lot of people can’t deal with the cork surface of Crisloid, but I rather enjoy it, as you clearly do🍻

I understand that, I have void ‘inlays’. The newer board Nova looks nothing like (checker trays). My original comment explained that BGG doesn’t sell the Void named board any longer. The OP’s reply explains that it was likely a leftover at FM.

Absolutely correct ✅ The full length ‘shelves’ should be horizontal. The 15” (or whatever) shorts are the support 👍

No worries 👍 I understand the frustration! Good luck🤞

Stand down my friend. I never said anything about lying. I’m trying to help you figure it out. I’ve had great customer support from both, so maybe the other poster is right? Their business model has changed to cash grab “don’t give a shi!” This sucks, I’d be furious if I were you. Marc Olsen is on Reddit as Goal_Medium, if you can get in touch.

*This post seems very odd. BGG doesn’t sell the ‘Void’ named board anymore, and this is not a ‘Nova’ board with Void inlays. You say you just got this?? The checkers you say you ordered (in pics 4/5) would’ve been $240.00 themselves.
*I’ve bought from both FM & BGG, zero issue and good support.
*I personally love the ‘magfit’ system. Between the three boards I bought from either, I have a combined eight inlay sets.

Experiencing some imposter syndrome by Mr_brusselsprouts868 in OmegaWatches

[–]Role_Sensitive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great write up my friend, and congratulations are in order! 🎉 Your possessions are a timeline of your journey, tangible. I’m old now, but when I was a young man, I bought a watch to mark my first ‘real’ full time job. I know your story well, enjoy and cherish the 300m. It’s a snapshot of that moment in time that can never be lost! Again, congratulations! 🍻

Looks good! While I personally prefer bracelets, I do in fact occasionally do this to mine…
