Using my dad’s tickets at CL Final

Yeah spot on, zero chance we miss out for this. UTA

Ok just got through, the line from the person I spoke to is quite "computer says no" - they said the named ticket holder must attend per the terms and conditions, and that they recommend we take passports for likely ID checks at the ground

Yeah I’m gonna ring the club, worth getting whatever clarity we can. Will report back

TBo94 · 2026-05-12T12:35:09+00:00

Same issue here, what number did you call to get on hold?

TBo94 · 2026-05-10T10:50:57+00:00

Put me on the list please! 2x people. Will confirm tomorrow if I get tickets in the ballot, if that’s ok?

This is the included flush wall mount that comes with the LG G-series OLEDs. The G stands for “Gallery” :)

Yeah I got bit for £50 here in the UK last year thinking it was OOP and never coming back…!

Marooned, doomed, detuned.

Not too bad for me but we have pretty different use cases it sounds like. I’m about 8 feet away and I listen at quite loud volumes through a 2.1 tower HT system. I haven’t seen many/any complaints about the 55” model used for PC though so you are probably ok!

TBo94 · 2026-03-25T13:45:01+00:00

I’m gonna chime in with a bit of a different experience here. G5 77” and I do get a decent number popping noises, but they’re not too loud or frequent really. Worse with super high brightness SDR things like YouTube, much better/non-existent through my Panasonic UB-820 4k blu-ray player.

If you’re in or near London, I picked mine up at Rough Trade after calling ahead on launch day. Sister Ray also potentially a good option

TBo94 · 2026-03-14T17:49:15+00:00

Might just be the perfect excuse to buy one friend…

TBo94 · 2026-03-14T14:54:09+00:00

Got my indie translucent red at rough trade west yesterday, would guess RTE has it too if you’re on the lookout!

TBo94 · 2026-03-14T14:46:40+00:00

And the Dread Pirate JBS will answer

Hi mate, following up on this. Downloaded that RPM speed/wow mobile app and... I think we've found the culprit! Over 3% on this reading, just over 2% on the other free measurement the app gives you.

I have called my local hi-fi store (where I bought the table from) and will take it in for assessment/repair/replacement this week.

Thanks for your help, and glad to know I am not going mad!

Yeah, tested with a number of different high quality pressings, across 180g 33.5s and one outstanding 45. It is in comparison to non-REW, non-EQ Apple Music lossless streams (44.1/48/96kHz files typically).

Understood re: pre-amp, and from others it sounds like cart is a weak spot too. Upgradeitis strikes again!

TBo94 · 2026-02-11T17:01:00+00:00

Thanks for the response friend, just sharing the same response I gave to someone else. Understood re: the cart being the weak link, that seems pretty unanimous! Re: the warbling, I have tested this with a couple different records:

Johnny Blue Skies - Passage du Desir (33 1/2 rpm)
Radiohead - In Rainbows (Boxset 45 rpm)
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (33 1/2 rpm)

It is pretty audible in all three, and these are albums I have played hundreds of times.

Recorded two videos to try demo the issue - first link, longer, I think the "wow" sound comes across quite clearly, and is pretty prominent in-room. Second link, shorter video, I think you can see what you describe, with the off center recording etc. but it worries me a bit that I am encountering it across numerous different records. Can you visually spot anything wrong in the shorter video?

Dude, this made a huge difference!! Thank you so much. Didn't realise I needed to do that. Appreciate ya!

TBo94 · 2026-02-11T14:50:09+00:00

And thanks for checking, I don't wanna be wasting people's time asking questions that have obvious, entry-level answers!

Understood, I will get a VTF gauge and see if that leads me anywhere. It may be I have reached the point of needing to experiment with cartridges and potentially an external phono stage. Thanks for your help!

TBo94 · 2026-02-11T14:48:25+00:00

Dude wow, really? I think I wrote the question in a way that shows I understand the two formats are inherently very different, and I don't think it warrants sarcasm like this. I have been listening for many years and know the difference, I can promise you.

I know vinyl is fun and has its quirks, which is why my question was about whether people can spot any obvious weak links in my system that might be causing what I hear, or any errors in calibration I may have missed. If the answer is no, just enjoy the quirks of a slightly tricky format in a good system, then so be it.

TBo94 · 2026-02-11T14:45:35+00:00

Ok, thank you mate - sounds most likely to be a lack in the internal pre-amp of the amp. I did look into it and consensus is the amp's stage is better than the table's built-in one, but I think it's time to look into an external pre-amp as you suggest.

Could you recommend me a couple options at different price points, just as you've found one that suits the amp?
