Not bad for $0.99. Scored them out of a box on Polka albums, yeah I don't get it either.

 

[goldenticket]

hey, i'm just getting started in vinyl, can anyone suggest a good vinyl community? What's the neogaf in the vinyl world?
I'd be keen to buy/sell/trade too, instead of dealing with ebay.

VeryGood Plus is good. If you join more forums are visible.

 

[Giant Robot]

I have the Xpression III it is a fantastic table, the speed box makes it even better.

thanks.

I've been out listening to several turntables (Music Hall mmf 2.1/mmf 5.1, Rega P1/P2) and for the price/performance felt the Xpression III is the one for me. Was thinking of either the NAD PP2 or the Pro-Ject Phono Box II as a pre-amp as well. Can't wait.

How much sound performance did the speed box do for you other than convenience?

 

[Winged Creature]

The speed box made the speed dead on, no slight fluctuations at all. Improved in all areas, openess, bass etc. As for phono stages i like the Cambridge Audio 640P more then the NAD, Ive dealt with both and preferred the Cambridge. Its received its fair share of stellar reviews so check that one out.

 

[Giant Robot]

^^^thanks again
I'll probably try that speed box out eventually. I'd like to take gradual steps in adding stuff so i can experience every change in the system

I've also been hearing good things about the Bellari VP130. My friend has one and raves about it. They can be had used for about the same price as new Pro-Ject/NAD phono-stages.

 

[Winged Creature]

Bellari is good just make sure you check out the cambridge, its dead silent and probably the best for its price.

[The Interrobanger]

Just got word that the Pro-Ject RPM1 Genie will be making it's way to North America soon for $479 CND (maybe $449 USD?)

The exact date will be announced in the next few weeks or so.

 

[nitewulf]

just set up my analog front end.

first, my first vinyls:



turntable:





phono pre-amp:



question, where can i buy brit-pop and new wave vinyls online?

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

I just got the re-press of the best Boris album, "Feedbacker" on vinyl. Mmmmmm, so delicious.

 

[oracrest]

this limited edition came in. 45 RPM edition, with a third live record. really nice packaging as well!

 

[Giant Robot]

Nitewulf- What kind of TT and phono stage is that? How do you like it?

 

[nitewulf]

Nitewulf- What kind of TT and phono stage is that? How do you like it?

The table is an Origin Live! Aurora MK2. The phono stage is an Eastern Electric Minimax Vacuum Tube Phono Preamplifier. I just set everything up this weekend, and had a few hours of listening session with the setup. It sounds very beautiful, smooth, full bodied, with a lot of dynamics and slam. Very involving, it makes you tap your toes, I mean all of this is due to the synergy with the rest of my system as well (Preamplifier -> Power amplifier -> Speakers), but the analog components do sound very different from my digital front end, I find the vinyl setup to be more dynamic and involving.

 

[Sanskrit]

God, I love vinyls. My dad has a big collection in the garage. Among others, the complete Beatles Collection from the 70's

 

[amm]

VINYL IS PLURAL !!

 

[Alucrid]

Where can I buy vinyl frames? I need two to just hold the record itself and then one for the outer sleeve.

 

[nitewulf]

my wife just got me Coltrane's "Blue Train", 200gram pressing and Miles Davis' "In a Silent Way". I was floored, both by the fact that she got me those completely as a surprise...I took her to Academy like once, and she re-traced not only my steps but got me two stunning albums on her own whim, and secondly, the albums are stunning, just beautiful sounding.

 

[Winged Creature]

If u want the best jazz pressings get the hoffman/gray masters from analogue productions and music matters

 

[Witchfinder General]

Currently listening to Deadwing by Porcupine Tree on blue vinyl. Haven't listened to this through my valve preamp yet and thus far it's a revelation.

 

[btf1980]

This Garrard 301 turntable belongs to John DeVore of http://www.devorefidelity.com

Listened to it on Friday with Shindo tube gear. It was nice.

My recap here.

At the DeVore Fidelity factory! The listening room is actually John DeVore's office. Yeah. :lol

 

[Kentpaul]

I picked up Pink floyd - the final cut for 10 pound mint condition did i get a good deal ?

 

[ravien56]

So I finally picked up a record player, first one, and listening to my vinyls on it, I'm hearing a lot of static. If its playing through just speakers, its enough that it bothers me but when I plug in the headphones, goddamnit. Is it just a shit record player?

 

[PetriP-TNT]

There's a record fair here tomorrow and I guess I am going. Too bad I have already spent most of my money on records this week anyway. I am hoping to score at least couple of LP's and 7"s anyway.

It might be a shitty needle, dirty records... many possible reasons. Clean the needle, clean the record and check if your turntable is properly grounded etc.

The records are new so I doubt it....and the player itself is pretty new but how do I clean the needle? Also, how do I know if its properly grounded? Kinda new to the vinyl game.

 

[nitewulf]

check all the connections, i mean the audio interconnects between the turntable and your amplifier, make sure they are nice and tight, the cables are properly shielded etc.

there should be a ground wire from your tone arm, if not, I guess the maufacturer designed it that way. if you do have it, connect it to a ground terminal on your amplifier.

don't touch the needle with a brush or something, i guess blow on it hard, and brush the cartridge body itself for dust, fabric, lint etc.

 

[btf1980]

Latest haul, mostly 45rpms, with the exception of the Jackie McLean.

 

[btf1980]

Latest haul...

Original pressing of the Ornette Coleman Trio at the golden circle.

 

[btf1980]

Interplay 45rpm - Bill Evans (one of the rare times he worked with a horn player outside of Kind of Blue)

Gil Evans - Into the hot!!!

Duke Ellington records, most are original pressings!

 

[Midas]

Can I somehow clean my pickup needle? I think they're dirty or something, there's no way that I have killed two needles in less than a year so it must be something else. Maybe the whole tone arm on my 1210 needs a replacement?

 

[nitewulf]

yeah you can use the Onzow ZeroDust to clean your needle.

BTF, the Night Train album is fantastic, are all these 45s $50/album?

Mmm, experience and music for the jilted generation...

Delicious

1991-1994 was so good.

 

[btf1980]

BTF, the Night Train album is fantastic, are all these 45s $50/album?

The Analogue Productions & Music Matters titles are $50. The ORG's are $60.

 

[Winged Creature]

I wish the analogue productions/music matters releases were cheaper, since they sound bloody amazing. Beacause of the prices i just get the sacd by analogue productions.

 

[nitewulf]

i just scored an original copy of Pet Shop Boys' debut album for 2 bucks...the thing sounds bloody amazing, it was almost never played...gotta keep perusing the local thrift stores and flea markets...:lol

is jazz samba out in any of these fancy versions? i may buy a few of my absolute favorites...

So how about that colored vinyl?

Beautiful...

 

[Midas]

yeah you can use the Onzow ZeroDust to clean your needle.

That was expensive, still cheaper than a new needle though. Thanks for the tip!

 

[ShinobiFist]

I see someone picked up that Bob&Gene album, good stuff. Is crazy that it took 40 something years for that album to finally release.

I know, that's insane. Great album too.

I've been listening to music now for at least 4 hours everyday. I wish this was a full time job.

Max Roach!

Original pressing of This is June Christy.

Original pressing of this Count Basie

Original Living Stereo RCA Victor Red Seals

About a dozen golden mercury imports from the Netherlands.

 

[Vox-Pop]

thefit, I like your style.

 

[btf1980]

Latest haul...

Japanese import of Introducing Lee Morgan. He was only 18 when he recorded this album. The album was recorded literally a day after his debut album as a leader, Lee Morgan Indeed! Crazy.

Afrobeat legend Tony Allen's "Homecooking". Crazy good.

Coltrane kills on the album.

Next 4 are 45rpms from AP & MM.

 

[btf1980]

Just a heads up. A buddy of mine is selling the Analogue Productions & Music Matters lps for dirt cheap prices. These are normally $50 a pop!

Hit him up!

btf, what stores if any, do you buy from in the city? so far i liked Academy (LES) the best, any other stores where they have reasonably priced jazz lps (Bleecker St. Records is decent as well)?
