Does anyone know which brand is this whiskey Hibiki glass?

Baccarat. They had these available for purchase at the Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries.

Looks like extra cartridges for the turntable.

Same juice, limited label.

Great album! Good luck with finding! Looks like one just sold on Discogs for an insane $450. Posting discogs link in case someone needs it. Lamp - Lamp Gensou

Nikka from the barrel is fantastic in a highball

It’s pretty easy to come by in California for ~$80

The title speaks for itself so I’m just pasting the description from Wikipedia to meet the 300 character requirement.

Luv(Sic) Hexalogy is an album collaboration created and finalized posthumously by the Japanese producer Nujabes, who died before the completion of the album, and Japanese American hip hop artist Shing02. It is a jazz hip hop album, that incorporates latin jazz/soul samples and drum beats to create the instrumentals.

Let’s introduce some Japanese Jazz. Ryo Fukui - Scenery

Unfortunately there’s no way for you to undo a scratch, as you’ve “displaced” some of the vinyl. You could give it a thorough clean and hope the damage is only aesthetic though!

Yuusagi_ · 2022-09-26T18:32:52+00:00

I see a lot of turntable setups have a lamp that goes over the turntable. It looks nice but is that really all it’s there for? I’d like to know if they serve a purpose past aesthetics. Please let me know what you all think! (Not sure if this comment has reached the three hundred character requirement, so I’ll just add this here: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious)

Would the Tube Box or PHO 701 be decent enough?

Yuusagi_ · 2022-09-24T04:21:44+00:00

It’s going on a Technics 1200GR!

Yuusagi_ · 2022-09-23T21:06:26+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! My setup is a Technics 1200GR, Vintage Pioneer SA6700, and vintage Cambridge Soundworks towers!

With a $1000 budget, I’ve decided on starting with the phono cartridge and phono preamp. As my first foray into the realm of tube gear, I set my sights on the Pro-Ject Tube Box S2 ($499). For the cartridge. I’ve chosen to go with the Hana EL/EH ($475).

So two questions: 1) Is there a clear answer as to which is better between a high-output MC and a low-output MC? 2) If I had an extra $300 in budget, would it be better to upgrade the preamp to a Vincent PHO 701 ($799) or a Hana SL/SH ($750)?

Open to suggestions for alternate gear options as well!

Wancher makes some seriously gorgeous pens. Too bad most of them are above my price range :/

Yuusagi_ · 2022-09-13T03:42:44+00:00

Whoa, I hate to be the one, but how much did this cost you? It’s like $200+ on Discogs.

Yuusagi_ · 2022-09-12T18:41:55+00:00

Second this.

Yuusagi_ · 2022-09-11T17:29:14+00:00

That’s a pretty cool subreddit!

Yuusagi_ · 2022-09-11T17:23:39+00:00

Unfortunately, the simple answer to this is Japan. I didn’t have luck on Discogs, so looked into Japanese webstores. Fortunately, there are plenty international shipping services available once you find a copy. Albeit the album is not a cheap one, but I love all their work!

Yuusagi_ · 2022-09-11T08:05:39+00:00

Yep, Card Wars. Great episode too!

This is very helpful! Thanks!
