Finally got my record player. Just a Jensen with a turntable, 2 CD players, and 2 speakers. Can't wait to actually listen to them now. I still need to muster up the money for Parallax II and the new GY!BE

I'd highly recommend moving those speakers away from the record player. It would be a good idea to take them off of whatever they're currently on and put them on another table or something. Over time, you can have warping issues due to small movements created by the bass in the speakers.

You won't get warping issues from that, but if you're listening to it loud enough, the vibrations from the speakers could cause skipping issues.

It's not just skipping issues though. Anything that adds unnecessary vibrations is gonna create distortion.

Sounds as good as it looks. I'm probably gonna wind up not getting the new GY!BE until November. I'll see what else I can find around that time, too. Until then, I went through my folk's old records and found a few that they let me add to my collection:

Back to the Future Soundtrack
The Beatles - The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl
Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet
Huey Lewis and the News - Sports
Journey - Frontiers
Night Ranger - Dawn Patrol
Night Ranger - Midnight Madness
Night Ranger - 7 Wishes
Styx - Caught in the Act (Live)
Styx - Cornerstone
Styx - Crystal Ball
Styx - The Grand Illusion
Styx - Killroy was Here
Styx - Paradise Theater
Styx - Pieces of Eight

Man that collection reeked of the 80's when I was looking through it...

The 12" sounds absolutely fantastic. A really fantastic pressing from them, as usual.

I just checked your DeadFormat and saw you had 2 copies of The Devil and God. Are you trying to get rid one of those? PM me on VC if you are and I'll see if we can work something out

Find the skip. If it's dirt, clean it, if it's a scratch, you're probably out of luck.


I just spent $137 on a record >.>

I think it would be a scratch, since a bit of water didn't seem to do anything. The needle doesn't bump where the skip is though.

Alaska and The Riptides came in today! .




I'm really glad I randomly found Tales from Planet Earth, It was a completely unexpected find, so I had to instabuy it.
