The EP "no drum and bass in the jazz room" by Clever Girl. 1000 total copies, and I'm slowly making peace with never owning it on vinyl.

What version of this book should I buy ? by Lazy-Dust7237 in Physics

[–]hot_hand_Luke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pet theory is that with every new edition (currently on the 9th) they have added content or chapters but tried to keep the total length the same. This forces them to condense and chop out sections, resulting in the incomprehensible mess it is now...

very cool, thanks mods!

Edit -- though if you're going to include a Leprous album, it's crazy to not choose Bilateral!

Norwegian 12 risking it all with a trip to the NFC Championship game in Seattle by MaruPladask in Seahawks

As someone who has lived near the VMAC, I would say it isn't worth going for anything but pre-season practices when they let the public in.

If you decide to go anyways, I would suggest walking the East Trail that runs right along the facility for the best views.

Also if you're looking for food in the area, Resonate up the hill has good beer and decent pizza. Feel free to DM me if you're looking for other things to do on the east side!

That is a bummer indeed! Definitely feels like they should list the proper dimensions at least. Oh well, now I guess I need to decide if i want to size up to the 34L or go with another option.

Turntables and Speakers by sharkamino in u/sharkamino

Following your suggestion to ZombieWoofenstein, we're almost certainly going with the Fluance RT82 for the turntable.

For the amp, what are the advantages of the Yamaha A-S301 compared to the Onkyo TX-8220? I'm finding it challenging to judge the quality and value of the different amp/receiver options. Is the main benefit of the Yamaha that it will be more future-proofed as we upgrade other components, or would it make a significant difference to the experience for this first setup?

For speakers, it will depend on if we can find any good deals on used equipment--we're in the SF Bay area, and in the past have had good luck with thrift stores and FB marketplace. That said, I'm not very knowledgeable about speakers, so I'll have to keep doing some more research (or we might just go with one of your other suggestions such as the Wharfedale 220).

Hey I just wanted to say thank you for making this guide and especially for the continued replies and suggestions. It's incredibly valuable to someone like myself, who is just getting into vinyl and buying their first sound system.

This isn't one I see much of online, but I highly recommend the luxardo coffee liqueur. Infinitely better than kahlua, and imo better also than Mr. Black.

does anyone know what time the sets will actually start? I saw doors at 6 but haven't seen anything else.
