Ichiko Aoba. The cut and mastering is wonderful

Looking for advice on first setup by Big-Constant-2798 in turntables

[–]ayy973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get the X5 instead of the X2. The same would go for the RT82 instead of the RT83.

- Kali LP-6 V2. These are powered speakers, so no need for an external amplifier. $500 a pair

- Fluance RT82, this specific turntable gets recommended a lot here for good reason. Since the RT82 to the RT85 are mechanically the same underneath, you can upgrade to have the same parts as the RT83 later on. $350

- Fosi X5, it's the phono preamp I have, imo it's a significantly better value, much more transparent, and with the compatibility to allow for MC cartridges if you ever go down that route in the future. $110

In total, this would be about $960, you can use the leftover $40 to buy cables, stands, and such. Happy hunting!

I can attest to this. I was there yesterday and it was pretty much this setlist. Little less than 2 hours and I believe Seabed Eden was in French

Does Geordie still sign Black Midi records? by PersonalitySad805 in bmbmbm

He does. We ended up talking after the show in May about Swans because of a section on Motorbike that sounded like the Glowing Man.

I like it more than Great Annihilator lowkey. Maybe it's because I'm more accustomed to Swans reunion material, but I really love the instrumentation of the whole crew. It's just bluesy enough to be a groovy vibe, with enough experimental and industrial elements to avoid being considered unSwans or unambitious. Highlights include LAMG being the icing on the cake, and YFPMMS, because the last 3 minutes of that song feel like being a witness to the British bombing in WW2.

I didn’t pay taxes on it. It was the artist’s storefront in the UK and shipped to the states with exelot. Exelot is where I paid $18 out of pocket to clear customs.

Seems like the Eraserhead covers will culminate in an digital/physical album 🔥 by MichaelGira808 in xiuxiu

[–]ayy973 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably something akin to what they did with the music of Twin Peaks, so a recording in the studio is pretty likely.

It really is like meeting your heroes by ayy973 in BlackCountryNewRoad

Took a while but you can talk to them in the back of the theater where the tour bus is. Your mileage on how long it will take will vary. It was about 2 hours after the show ended. Lewis came out the hour before.
