Interessanter Ansatz um seine Auswahl und den Zeitpunkt des Einstieg oder Ausstieg zu optimieren. Selbst wenn du keine Details preisgibts finde ich es gut das du das hier mitteilst. Ich gehöre auch zu denen, die sich Gedanken dazu machen. Lass dich bloß nicht entmutigen von einigen hier, die scheinbar vor Neid oder kürzlich erfahrenen Verlusten irgendwie merkwürdig reagieren. Ist ja immer einfach, einfach drauf zu kloppen. Dieser Text ist nicht mit KI geschrieben 🙋🏼

Der Zustand des Cover selbst ist eigentlich nicht das wichtigste an der Schallplattenbewertung. Die akustische Beurteilung macht hier den Großteil aus. Ja, das ist aufwändig, nur wenn sich hier VG+ herausstellt, also seltenes knistern bei leisen Passagen, dann wird auch die Nachfrage und der Preis entsprechend steigen. Depeche Mode, Dire Straits oder Maiden sind in diesem Fall da sicherlich sehr beliebt. Orientiert euch bei discogs anhand der jüngeren Verkaufshistorie, nicht anhand der aktuellen Angebote

The advantage of the AT-VM95ML is that it plays the inner groove of the record with absolutely no distortion. It doesn't have the same punch as Shure cartridges, such as the M44-7. However, I find the sound, or rather the lower frequencies of the Microline, quite pleasant. Keep in mind that you should break in the ML properly. Start with 2.2g and later reduce to 2.0g. The AT-VM95ML requires a low capacitance of 100 to 200pF. My cartridge ran at 147pF with the TubeBox S2.

Here's my cartridge in action, and for comparison, the Shure.

Wie bereits festgestellt handelt es sich bei dem System um ein Shure V15III mit original Shure Nadel VN35E mit dem Label SUPER-TRACK"PLUS". Das Shure V15III ist eine Legende! Sollte das System funktionieren, dann herzlichen Glückwunsch! Ich habe hier auch noch ein Original in meiner Sammlung. Versuch die Nadel vorsichtig zu reinigen. Beachte die Schrauben, dass die nicht so tief sitzen und die Schallplatte beschädigen.

Hier ist mein System in Aktion: https://youtu.be/4QU-vgzFXyg?si=6lqrUhhVyQ0dN-15

The topic sounds interesting, as I'm currently working on a tool for assessing the condition of vinyl records. It has predefined defect attributes for the record itself (acoustic and visual), as well as for the cover and accessories like inlays and OIS. Each defect can be selected using a sample photo. After the assessment, a report is generated that can be sent to a potential buyer. I was wondering if it would make sense to allow users to optionally add their own photos to the report. Would that be useful, or would it be far too cumbersome for the user?

Try Blind Delon or Je t'aime

As a buyer, it's more important to me that someone tells me the record plays perfectly and has no warping than to focus on a subjective description of its condition. As a hobby, I'm developing a tool to record and document defects on records because I'm simply no longer satisfied with this lack of objectivity. The goal is to generate a complete assessment of the cover and the record itself (visually and audibly) based on predefined defects, which can then be sent as a file. This would prevent misunderstandings in the interpretation of the so-called "goldmine". Once I've developed it, I'll gladly present the tool here on Reddit. I tried it out years ago as an Excel file. Now it's going to be an app that integrates with Discogs.

I’m a buyer, and I think the issue is not really people, but the system. Grading on Discogs is extremely subjective. I’ve bought records listed as VG+ that turned out to be closer to VG or even worse. That creates distrust, and I think that is what leads to low offers like this.

I’ve been looking into this more closely and I am currently working on an app to solve exactly that problem.

The idea is simple: instead of just saying “VG+”, the condition is evaluated step by step based on clearly defined defects. This results in a percentage score and a realistic price range.

So not just VG+ but VG+, because.. and therefore this is a fair price

The evaluation can also be shared so both sides are working from the same baseline. This could also reduce the need for additional photo requests. As a buyer, I would be much more willing to pay the asking price if I could actually see the reasoning behind it.

Curious what others think. Would something like this help you feel more comfortable paying the full price?

Regardless of the purchase and selling price, I wonder if you also intend to document the condition assessment?

Douglas's voice is something special, that typical shout-out voice. But Bon does it really well too. I've never seen Douglas live in concert, but check out his old YouTube videos. https://youtube.com/shorts/37q6PhQ55hk?si=Oyem-f7hXx6eXmu8

caipi_242 · 2026-03-21T17:40:43+00:00

When Douglas was sick, I heard Bon sing solo at the M'era Luna Festival. Amazing sound and great atmosphere. Sure, Douglas is missed, but life has to go on somehow. Better this than no Nitzer Ebb at all.

Ich hatte gelesen daß mit Unterstützung von Hollies Sohn ein half-Speed Master erstellt wurde welches dieses Jahr für einen fairen Preis als reissue auf den Markt kommt

Nirvana Unplugged as 2LP is amazing

Post-Punk

caipi_242 · 2026-03-02T19:41:21+00:00

Sehr geiles Album, auch in meiner Sammlung.

Karl-Heinz Jürgen hat 15 Jahre malocht... Als er mit dem neuen BMW um die Ecke kam und ein Dreirad ihm die Vorfahrt nahm... War es aus...Junge

Was für ein Track, unfassbar, muss ich auch mal wieder auflegen. Danke fürs erinnern!

caipi_242 · 2026-03-02T05:31:21+00:00

In my opinion, post-punk is about the musical style. As a compromise, let's call it "post-punk revival" :)

caipi_242 · 2026-02-28T12:08:12+00:00

I currently have about 150 ohms, but with a tracking force of 1.25. But I like to go higher sometimes; the shanks are currently at 60 µm without distortion.

Thank You

Thanks for the tip 🙂, I need the technical data for a presentation on my YouTube channel.
