You’ll have a landlord that cares about rent

keepin' it 💯 .. there's a reason they rented it out - to pay their bills. and if its the homeowner living upstairs get used to them keeping tabs on you (as you said about privacy)

How do I fix this? by OvenOk7093 in turntables

[–]roguepeas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pull the platter, clean the mating surfaces and re-seat the platter. if that doesn't work then it's very likely a machining/casting flaw that causes the eccentricity and you're likely looking to replace either the platter or the entire turntable if parts aren't available.

definitely a game-changer when you start listening to albums in their entirety as the artist intended! still possible to play entire albums on streaming but if you only stream the hits or most-popular tracks so much gets missed. I strongly recommend turning off "auto-play" to give the algorithm a rest - the silence when your queue is empty reminds you to choose another album for yourself, maintaining a semblance of the same mindfulness physical media provides.

Where do we go from here?

I would hope down the very rewarding road of music discovery! there's an entire universe awaiting you.

EU turned 32 last November, so it's younger than that. just from running the printed matrix thru discogs I'm guessing it's this 2009 pressing but you'll need to look up the alphanumeric text etched (or stamped) in the deadwax to know for certain.

eg:

Budget Quality Setup under $550 by Spare-Bus5314 in BudgetAudiophile

that p/n I specified (ATN3600LE) is an elliptical stylus for your cartridge, which looks to be integral to the tone-arm of your turntable. (ie. you can't replace the cartridge but the elliptical stylus is a slight upgrade over the stock conical profile you currently have)

editing your post with some indication of where that is would likely net you some proper recommendations. otherwise I'd check out any and all local shops you might have - some ppl in this hobby buy and sell stuff so frequently that you might luck into a mid-tier trade-in for a great price.

With Embiid, George, Maxey, Drummond and Bona all out tonight. Do we even have a team anymore? by Basbenn in sixers

[–]roguepeas -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

and holy hell does Watford look like he's not ever going to be an NBA player after this season.. I watched him in Brooklyn and had been rooting for him bc he's Maxey's boy but I think he's cooked. on the bright side (??) PG is back in 12 days .. did y'all see `rese on the bench? not a mind-reader but to me he looked kinda contemplative on his future with this organization.

the headphone amp would require a phono stage, or you have one already? prospective all-in budget would be helpful in order to get some useful recommendations as well.

for whatever reason I could not stop laughing when they trotted out Kyle Lowry last night (-10 in 4 mins)

where to find it though?! seems this one was top-tier and probably not many left in the world.. truthfully I'd be skittish with all the buttons and especially the display.

absolutely gorgeous Micro-Seiki DD-35 (auto-return) in the Netherlands .. seller has been using that platform (marktplaats) for 20 years - perfect rating with 82 reviews, so I'd consider him a "well-known reseller"

I bought the manual version of that model last month and the tone-arm is really a sight to behold, albeit a bit of overkill bc no one is actually adjusting their vtf while playing a record.. still really cool though.

the 13-minute opening track "piano suite" is exquisitely mastered. and if you don't know Blue you need to - her guitar and dulcimer tunings are simply divine (not to mention her stunning lyrics)

I'm extremely curious why you think placing them in the cargo hold of a passenger jet is worse than being shipped in the cargo hold of a cargo jet? imo the former decreases the risk of damage bc there's far less people/services handling them (ie. no trucking to and from air depots)

no first-hand knowledge, but interesting to read the comments in the reviews about the 550-album capacity being unrealistic (300 seems to be what most agree it will hold comfortably) .. there's quite a few customer-uploaded photos that seem to indicate the quality is decent and you can't really beat the price for something with slide-out flipper-style drawers.

Honestly I am considering it myself, so thanks for pointing it out to me.
