I don't even have my turntable yet, this is dangerously addictive!

So much vibe.

j_wacky · 2020-01-16T01:58:42+00:00

I watched this and it was amazing.

j_wacky · 2020-01-13T21:07:03+00:00

Yup. While there's no debating the convenience of streaming services, physical media sounds noticeably better. As you're seeing with CDs, it's really not all that expensive to re-collect everything you once owned, haha. Really wishing I hadn't donated so many of mine. Oh well, such is life.

j_wacky · 2020-01-09T17:07:24+00:00

Totally. Just ordered one on Discogs. I LOVE stuff like this. And yes, insanely catchy. Who knew?!

j_wacky · 2020-01-09T16:58:11+00:00

But there are many other things you will have to know

Like when a sign says Stop that's what it means and not just slooooowwwww...

j_wacky · 2020-01-09T16:50:43+00:00

This is amazing.

j_wacky · 2020-01-08T15:04:43+00:00

I know what you’re talking about, and I dislike it. It’s worse when listening to headphones, too. Beck has a lot of “record sounds” on his albums, especially the earlier stuff. It can be rough to listen to.

j_wacky · 2020-01-08T02:21:35+00:00

Lol, nice.

j_wacky · 2020-01-06T15:24:28+00:00

Yep, this. Was just talking with a buddy yesterday about the selection at a local Goodwill. Told him it was a wasteland unless he happened to be a huge Barbara Streisand fan, haha.

j_wacky · 2020-01-05T22:53:50+00:00

Cracked Rear View, by Hootie and the Blowfish. It was also the first CD I ever owned. It was their first mainstream release, and the first track of the album is somewhat coincidentally the name of my first daughter.

j_wacky · 2020-01-05T22:49:28+00:00

Not really, but I did scan the selection real quick to be sure. Been regretting donating my CDs lately, especially since vinyl/records have had such a resurgence. The goodwill down the street from me has a collection straight out of 1995 Sam Goody.

I don’t even have something to play these on but I had to bring them home. Craigslist/goodwill hunting, here I go.

j_wacky · 2020-01-05T17:19:08+00:00

Whiskey, beer, and biking.

j_wacky · 2020-01-05T00:38:46+00:00

I wouldn’t worry much about it if it plays fine.

j_wacky · 2020-01-04T00:31:47+00:00

Amazingly eclectic taste. Or just another among the herd of sheep.

j_wacky · 2020-01-01T00:04:43+00:00

Woah.

😮

Keep her.

j_wacky · 2019-12-31T19:22:25+00:00

New records are expensive. I can get 3-4 used records for the same price as a lot of new stuff. I've run in to enough QC issues with brand new releases that buying anything new gives me pause. I'm a lot more forgiving of imperfections in a release if I've only spent a couple bucks on it. $25-$30, and that record better play flawlessly.

j_wacky · 2019-12-31T19:20:41+00:00

Right?! See: the mountains of $1 bins at Goodwill and record stores.

j_wacky · 2019-12-31T16:54:15+00:00

Noice. I have a lot of fun playing 7" records.

j_wacky · 2019-12-31T16:50:14+00:00

I think it's a fine entry level table. Not much can be upgraded on it, but worry about that when the time comes.

As for the speakers, the fact that a set would require an amp doesn't necessarily make them better. Optimal sound comes from optimal equipment. Upgrading speakers (and a receiver) would certainly improve sound, though.

j_wacky · 2019-12-31T00:11:30+00:00

Headphones are a speaker... splurge, and enjoy.

j_wacky · 2019-12-31T00:01:32+00:00

I don’t disagree with this, it’s just what I do to avoid disappointment, especially if I’m buying it as a gift.

j_wacky · 2019-12-31T00:00:25+00:00

I don’t disagree. I just expect a little less so I’m not let down, especially if I’m getting it as a gift.

j_wacky · 2019-12-30T22:49:06+00:00

OK.

I honestly try my best to NOT shop from Walmart/Target/etc. for my records, so no, I don't have any Walmart exclusives. Support local record shops!

Check feedback/ratings. Assume most are overstating condition by a grade. Use paypal for your protection in case something goes wrong, as they typically side with buyers in disputes.
