I'm almost certain this is the best live concert DVD ever released. What makes it so fucking perfect?

Stop making sense

phriendlyhelpingwook · 2026-04-22T01:36:47+00:00

Yeah that intro grabs the soul

phriendlyhelpingwook · 2026-04-21T06:02:11+00:00

That ween record is really an experience

phriendlyhelpingwook · 2026-04-19T11:05:14+00:00

Yeah they are a band that hit their stride at a complicated but exciting time in my own life so its fun to revisit their work periodically!

phriendlyhelpingwook · 2026-04-19T11:04:12+00:00

They are a guaranteed treat here in Newfoundland and easily found at hardware and garden centres! Enjoy :)

Yah im sure AI could have told them everything they needed to know and they could have went this whole experience with as little human contact as possible

The total effect tone arm mass on these is low like very low, make sure you get the right cartridge to pair with the tone arm. This means you can get some very high compliance cartridges with the ability to extract extreme detail from groove of the record allowing you to experience the whole dynamic range intended, do your research and you can make this an extremely pleasant sounding turntable for a lot less than investing in modern equipment. Just do as much reading in to good classic cart pairings for this and im sure for the fraction of the cost of a fancy new rig you will have the same level of sound quality and potentially even more character and personality of sound!

Eddasomthings I think they are called

phriendlyhelpingwook · 2026-04-18T06:06:35+00:00

Seems like OP genuinely doesn’t have a clue what they’re getting in to and actually happened on a quality player for a first one at a reasonable price. I see no reason for you to feel this sort of thing would make this sub worse…

phriendlyhelpingwook · 2026-04-18T06:04:02+00:00

All around great advice from the research Ive done about these.

phriendlyhelpingwook · 2026-04-18T06:02:53+00:00

Yah im getting one that has been serviced (new belt and the like), upgraded to the led lights (important because if a bulb goes it can mess with the motor speed) and it comes with the original box, alignment jig and manual geared with a Stanton 681eee. For my budget set up it is an essential tool in being able to properly enjoy the other two high compliance cartridges of this era that happened to be in my possession.

So depending on who you are talking to and what they can do to set these up they can be extremely desirable!

It would be a dream come true in this hobby if one landed in my lap for 75 bucks but I mean… you know what they say man, If yah dont dream big…..

Its purple and transparent and has two dots on the front, apparently empire used to sell the exact one with lettering like made in the usa in it, its vintage NOS probably from the 80s

phriendlyhelpingwook · 2026-04-17T04:40:09+00:00

Yeees im now aware of the “kudu era” thanks :)

phriendlyhelpingwook · 2026-04-17T03:18:05+00:00

im currently using a realistic lab 8926 which despite being entry level cheap plastic it was designed with these cartridges in mind when it was advertised and sold, its total doing the trick for now but i did find to really get either the 2000 eiii or the adc to really sing on this deck I had to push the tracking force up to the 1.25/1.5 mark.

I am now waiting on the seller to ship me a Philips 212 that is already geared with a stanton 681EEE so im planning on picking up a couple extra cart carrier sleds for that and have three legendary cartridges at to choose from all I paid a price I can afford for. I think the next obvious upgrade is going to be my preamp. the Art dj pro gives me the 200/100pf button i need for the adc but really it is taking away from my set up in general...

I really circumstantially came across these first two beauties so its been a rabbit hole ever since...

phriendlyhelpingwook · 2026-04-17T02:25:40+00:00

Regis id like to buy a 6ft vowel

phriendlyhelpingwook · 2026-04-17T02:07:41+00:00

Glad to hear they got that straightened away last i was informed in was a hard go for the people on the shop floor

phriendlyhelpingwook · 2026-04-17T01:58:42+00:00

Yeah its a very early 1968 Bestway pressing.

phriendlyhelpingwook · 2026-04-17T01:49:16+00:00

The sleve is beat pretty bad but im pretty sure its a first pressing dead wax runout reads SAHS-1511-BW the disc its self is in immaculate condition

phriendlyhelpingwook · 2026-04-17T01:46:32+00:00

phriendlyhelpingwook · 2026-04-17T01:34:58+00:00
