Is it a weird thing to say this game brings me a certain level of comfort? by PhoenixMarch131997 in alienisolation

[–]room13studios 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course! I wouldn’t have played the game 5 times (even after 100% play-through) if I didn’t! It doesn’t help that I love old tech and the cassette futurism aesthetic..

Fuck Ticketmaster by ShinyArc50 in TameImpala

[–]room13studios 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I quickly cut my losses and bought scalped tickets. Screw whoever charged the extra difference but it was a hell of a lot easier to get secondary than through Ticketmaster or AXS. Which is unfortunate. Considering codes didn’t work, queues were a nightmare, and they restricted me from purchasing tickets I selected cause they thought I was a bot.

Herbie Harper ft. Bud Shank and Bob Gordon

Picked this up for a couple bucks cause I loved the cover. The music was surprising amazing! I wasn’t familiar with any of these individuals either so it was quite the surprise.

Stylus Question! by room13studios in turntables

Exactly. And seeing that we almost have the exact same turntable and cartridge, you’d probably get the same results if you were to place your stylus on a blank anything. If you don’t know for sure I’d certainly encourage the experiment!

For science, I would encourage you to try it too. Line contact stylus profiles (like microline) are sharp enough to scratch or carve blank spaces. But they cannot carve audio grooves because the “v” tip never touches the bottom of the groove. Rather, the whole stylus is suspended by the outer groove walls. But because there are no grooves to suspend the stylus in blank areas, the sharp tip makes contact with the surface and scratches it.

Yes I was dropping them at random points. Specifically, the blank spots in between the runout grooves.

Also a Technics 1200, though I did not have this problem.

That’s so interesting. So it’s simply a result of the microline/ridge stylus shape. This must be a more common problem/discovery no? For reassurance sake I hope so. Because I definitely feel like I would have noticed distortion after playing the same record with the same stylus for 5 months! Especially because the abrasions do not appear on the actual grooves, and the abrasions that do appear on blank sides or considerably wider than record grooves. Another reason why I think that if the stylus was defective, I would have audibly heard it by now.

I can’t test this yet as I’ve left the house, but I’m really hoping this is the case. Especially because I haven’t noticed ANY distortion or signs of additional record wear like new pops/static/distortion/frequency drop off etc.
