[verb_to_trust]

I bought a Son Little record yesterday. It was okay.

Which one?

New Magic

Is that the only one you have?

Yeah that's it. Are the other releases better?

I have no idea. I've never heard of this artist.

It was dirt cheap at my record store and just felt like trying something random. I thought I remembered he did something with Leon Bridges, who I like, so I gave him whirl. I wish records were cheaper so I could just buy randos all the time.

Being in chicago I imagine there are a million record stores with a large inventory of used records that would be good for this?

I don't buy used super often. They too frequently sound like shit despite what the jacket is labeled.

Most shops I go to that sell used have listening stations. Not a thing around you?

Not my style

Not my style

Luckily my record store guy mostly understands my tastes and has a few times offered up a random record or band for me to check out. That's all i get.

[Teeeeeekay]

I just ordered $150 worth of Madlib records.

[bodysnatcher]

I've never been a vinyl head, so I don't really know what I'm talking about. It strikes me as odd though, because active monitors are generally frowned upon in the studio world. I just assumed that all your Marantz boners would deflate for active speakers because they're not pure enough or something.

just saw this from trag, too bad he'll never see my response

but i always go with passive speakers. not a fan of the active.

i've also done some research on the U-Turns not playing well with active speakers (low hums and static). anyone had that issue?

[Norah]

Thinking of selling off my vinyl collection.

Thinking of selling off my vinyl collection.

why

Dibs

[Norah]

I haven't listened to anything on vinyl for years now. I'd need to at least replace my cartridge, but if I were to do that I'd finally upgrade the turntable. The thing is, running my FIIO X5 through my stereo sounds fantastic, and any benefit from that to vinyl is minor and not worth all the hassle.

If I decide to pull the trigger I'd obviously post what I have hear first and let you guys take anything you want off my hands.

[Simple Torture]

Do you do local deliveries?

[bodysnatcher]

totally get that. fully admit, vinyl (and all it entails) can be a big PITA if you're not fully immersing yourself in it. and if you have a good setup for digital music, why not?

[bodysnatcher]

Do you do local deliveries?

are you asking chud to drive?

oh boy.

[Norah]

How local?

[Simple Torture]

I work in Quincy Center.

[Norah]

Do you do local deliveries?

are you asking chud to drive?

oh boy.

Despite that terrible mistake I made 14 years ago, I'm actually an excellent driver.
