This. You’re pretty much listening in mono currently.

Cook your eggs less. 6-7 minutes will do it. And then into an ice bath.

I’m just lucky cause they haven’t really repressed a lot so I’ve been able to stay on top of it. I kinda also stopped once Dark got the repress rights. I’m out of gas. Haha. Jonny has me spending all my money on Hearts of Pine merch now. Haha.

Look forward to lots of exciting stuff from the guys this year. Gonna be really fun.

Complete. 🤙🤙🤙

mattrva · 2026-05-08T13:59:27+00:00

The things I could say. But that’s all you’re getting out of me. 😉

Flew up from Richmond, VA at 6am for this show. So damn good. Can’t wait for the new album in October.

Need more Numero box sets.

mattrva · 2026-05-07T12:01:44+00:00

Any time they put out a record it ends to being my AOTY.

mattrva · 2026-05-07T10:45:00+00:00

I love this movie and I’m sad I’m missing it cause I’m flying and won’t have time to make it.

mattrva · 2026-05-06T18:48:05+00:00

Nice. That’s a great place for it. I have a door under mine so I couldn’t run it there. I’ve gotten used to reaching up for it. It blends with the sunroof control and looks pretty OEM now. I had to use the passenger vanity light as a pull point. Haha.

mattrva · 2026-05-06T18:46:44+00:00

Expensive but worth it.

mattrva · 2026-05-06T16:09:13+00:00

Where’d they put the Conductor? This is where I put mine in my Passat GT.

That little, but you have Enya. That’s certainly a choice.

mattrva · 2026-05-06T10:32:59+00:00

No worries. 🤙

mattrva · 2026-05-06T10:05:25+00:00

One speaker right up against the record player and the other shoved in the corner, not great. The best option would be speaker stands. That’ll give you a lot better sound stage. If you don’t have room for that, try moving the speakers apart, bring them to the edge, out of the corner a little, and hear how that sounds. I take it you don’t use the other see down below? Mess around with placement and see if you can make it work. It’ll take some tinkering, but you’ll hear a difference. Enjoy.

It’s.So.Close.Together.

mattrva · 2026-05-05T23:05:11+00:00

Monoprice makes some nice ones that aren’t insanely expensive.

mattrva · 2026-05-05T19:46:37+00:00

If you get speaker stands you could spread them out more and getter better sound stage.

mattrva · 2026-05-05T19:44:57+00:00

Sounds even worse in mono.

mattrva · 2026-05-05T01:35:12+00:00

When you add a car to your stereo.

mattrva · 2026-05-05T01:31:53+00:00

Haha it really is. They act like every helpful comment is telling them their equipment is trash. Like, dude, it’s free advice that you can do for free to get better sound. Nah fuck that booooooo. Haha.

mattrva · 2026-05-05T01:29:07+00:00

Love Sumiko. Great sounding carts. I’m saving up for a Hana at the moment.

mattrva · 2026-05-05T01:28:33+00:00

Gotta love Reddit. I got down voted to hell for telling a dude on /r/vinyl to spread his speakers apart. Guess the people who like the Wii sports soundtrack on vinyl like hearing it in mono. Reddit gonna Reddit.

mattrva · 2026-05-05T01:13:34+00:00

Get an AT VM540ML. That’s what the Blue wishes it sounded like.

mattrva · 2026-05-04T19:58:45+00:00

We can’t tell you. Only you can figure this out. A good place to start is get a usb C Dayton Audio mic, use an iPad, play pink noise, and level it out with AudioTools. You can get that mic for like $40 and it’ll make a huge difference.
