Melvins collection so far

So do you all use outer sleeves for the covers? Does it really matter that much?

God, no. That rough card rubbing against my precious records? I shudder at the thought.

Here's my recent pickups.
Been listening Closer a lot recently, also The Cars self titled, PiL - Second Edition, Swans - Children of God, Minutemen - Double Nickles and Paranoid Time
Started collecting a few years ago and have about 80 LPs and 5 singles now.
Got a Stanton T90, a Sansui AU G99x amp, a Sound Shaper SS-315x a shitty Sony system to play CDs and cassettes (gets the job done alright), and Pure Acoustic speakers which aren't amazing but work for my setup.

I wish I could find Trout Mask Replica here, only seen it for sale once and they were asking for ridiculous prices.

I got a buy two get the third free deal, so I got the Godspeed and Beefheart records for 45 bucks and got Psychocandy free

>Just got the new The Hotelier album in the mail as well as a Great Big Pile of Leaves album.

>Haven't been spinning much lately because my roommate always complains if it's not metal.

>Currently at 86 albums

>Pro-Ject essential II with some Best Buy receiver and speakers.

I really would like to get an amp/preamp setup but I don't know anything about that.

Ordered Ape of Naples
Reserved The Glowing Man from my nearby record store
Heading to a free Chad VanGaalen show at a different record store this afternoon, maybe gonna pick up some stuff there

Shameless repost.

My last big haul. Picked them up on holiday because there are no fucking record stores where I live.
The store clerk commented on the variety and went off on a fifteen minute rant about all the hipsters who come into the store and all buy the exact same kinds of music. I love it when staff have free reign to talk shit about whatever they like. You can't get that in chain stores.

You could probably find a decent bootleg pressing if you shopped around. There's a pretty good quality boot pressing of Loveless floating around that I picked up for £15, so I imagine odds are good there's one for TMR somewhere.

>£
Meant $, muh bad.

What's the most you would pay for a record? I want a copy of Vaudeville Villain but it will run me around 85 Canadian.

>7th Son
>Funkadelic


Noice

And likewise with Animals and Hot Rats, user. Devo is also fine too.

Seventh Son is easily the most underrated Iron Maiden album, in my opinion.

~ $ 20 for records that aren't that rare and are in good condition.
~ $ 50 for records that are very rare.
$ 5 or less than that for records that are not in good condition.

Just came in the mail yesterday.

I paid $200 for the Hotline Miami 2 soundtrack. I don't regret it one bit, although I am a little annoyed that the first record was slightly warped. It doesn't affect that sound, but it bugs me that it doesn't lay completely flat.

I'd never pay that much for a record again, though.

Why did you pay so much outta curiosity? Have never played the game

I have a copy of that framed as well doubt it's the same version

Because they only did three pressing runs of it with no intention to do any more and I missed all of them before they sold out, because it's a first pressing, and because it's a bomb-ass soundtrack. The music is excellent.

I won't pretend it was one of my smarter purchases, but you might as well spend money on the things you like.

That makes sense I have no idea if they will ever repress it I emailed fat beats and they told me no plans in the immediate future

You lost me. What's Fat Beats' relation to it?

Bought Mac Demarco Salad Days yesterday, been listening to it since.

Too lazy to post collection think i have around 16 now, mostly hip-hop.

I've spent $200 on a record maybe 4 or 5 times.

They pressed the album and the label sound ink hasn't had an update in their website in like four years

Anyone here who rips their vinyl: what post-processing do you do to remove clicks/general noise?

Currently monitoring a rip in audacity, and it sounds fine but there are a few noticeable pops and some noise in quiet sections. (It's a 30-year-old record so that's not surprising, but I'd like to put it on What...)

These two just arrived in the mail

nice, i just picked up that gybe as well

i also ordered a ton of shit from phil elverums store and ordered ape of naples/the new backwards, the gate was pre ordered a while ago as well as bottomless pit. a little memey but w/e

I'm probably gonna receive AnCo's Live at 9:30 tomorrow or Tuesday.

it's dark and depressing here
nice cecil taylor baka (not his best tho), I have one jap press on Transition

Yea, I just got a jap press because the OP is impossible to find and retardedly expensive.

A good vinyl setup is going to cost you plenty of money. A mediocre turntable will cost you at least 500 usd at a minimal (not including the cost of a good amp, excellent cables, and solid speakers. Anything lower will sound like crap and ruin your vinyl. Sure you can also buy used for cheap but old turntables are USED meaning that the cables, belts, etc are going to be worn out and will affect your sound quality significantly. Plus they tend to not have long lifespan. Expect to pay at least 1500 USD to listen to vinyl the way it is almost meant to be heard.

weak bait

is this pasta

no

Nope, just a very poor attempt to score some (you)s.

*A poor attempt to score with your mum.

I just picked up Ultramagnetic MCs Critical Beatdown, and Im about to get paid. Thinking about getting a new player, mine is functional but not very good and I want to take better care of my records.
Anybody have any input on players in the $200-$400 range? Obviously Im a young adult who tries to be frugal, but also im willing to sink the extra cash for the sake of taking good care of my collection and getting the most out of it

AT-LP120 is the go-to upgrade from more basic players. Someone asked the same question in a turntable thread yesterday and this player was recommended too.

Disregard this:
And get this instead:

you make a fair argument... ok I'll do it.

sort of related, I spent 50 dollars on a cassette tape.

here, listen to this guy , he knows his shit.

>thirty fucking thousand united states dollars
>doesn't even include a cartridge, for which you have to pay extra
holy fucking shit for what purpose

I was gonna make my own thread but those usually get meme replies so I thought posting covertly in an existing thread would help. It did not.

It sounds better
and you can use any cartridge you want

If you were an audiophile, you wouldn't trust anyone other than yourself to pick the right cart and properly assemble it.

i'm pretty sure if you were an audiophile you'd be able to find an ace quality turntable for a fraction of that price instead of being lured into paying what looks like extortionate gimmick rates

>i'm pretty sure if you were an audiophile you'd be able to find an ace quality turntable for a fraction

You're underestimating audiophiles

Nah, audiophiles love both gimmicks and paying retarded prices. That's really the perfect audiophile product.

All I can imagine when looking at that setup is Holst's Mars, The Bringer of War.

You know it's a good thing I like this album because I've been listening to side A for four hours now trying to fix audio issues

I've been waiting for the Admiral Angry for months now. I'm so happy to have it.

There's a difference between true audiophiles and dumbass wannabe shills who will buy anything

I need to order all of the Microphones stuff, the shops I go to never have anything by him. And hey, they're memes because people like them

What album, user?

Also, the trick is just to try and EQ the surface noise out. You can try using Audacity's background noise removal option, but that tends to leave the whole track sounding a bit shallow and tinny.

damn! nice on the cecil user.

where do u guys get jap pressings? i havent been able to find any ayler or cecil that wasnt blue note reissue BS for like 40 bucks (tho the blue note reissues are nice pressings i gotta say).

discogs

discogs, and I've had surprising success on ebay with japanese sellers.

u turn orbit plus

thanks.

I spent about 80 canuck funbucks each on Ape of Naples and Giles Corey, that's pretty much my absolute ceiling but both were very special releases and like half the cost was fucking shipping.

P-Model's Karkador

Think I've got it manageable right now: eliminated the hum I was hearing by moving my preamp's ground wire to one of the RCA connectors coming out of the TT. ClickRepair with declick at 15 seems to get rid of 95% of audible clicks without affecting audio quality.

Also fuck pulseaudio and audacity for just randomly ceasing to work for some perfectly valid configurations

kabusa.com/slbd20.htm

this seems interesting, it's very cheap and I've heard good things. Anyone here have one?

I preordered the first run. I think it was like 70$~, deff worth it though. I mean, it came with a copy of the game, sounds great, the packaging was beautiful without feeling like gimmicky bullshit like most releases of its nature, vinyl color was nice even tho I don't care about that factor.

Eh, it doesn't look bad, it might as well be a decent turntable, but 170 bucks is asking too much for it. I think you can do better

Good garage sale pick ups

Forgot pic

Hot Topic is currently having a deal clearing out their vinyl records stock, 12 bucks each including their online stock if you can ask them in store to order. apparently some people have been able to get the new kendrick with the sale but my store didn't offer it. found this one though

man HT used to be so good for records, some of my old HT pressings go for 100+$ nowadays

now HT just gets fucking Disney picture disc shit

but that would require going to a hot topic :-(

no kidding, nice one

Anyone here have an RCM? Is it worth the investment over my shitty spin clean?

post collection worth

Only on my records that are autographed, or are so old/damaged that the sleeve is practically falling apart

Recently attained Life Sux by Wavves, Nonagon Infinity by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, and found an amazing deal on a copy of Person Pitch for $8.99

...

I bought a Debut Carbon Esprit ($600) and an Okki Nokki ($500) on amazon the other day. Thing is, my credit card just expired, so the bank sent me a new one with a different security code. Amazon didn't let me update the number so I said "fuck it" and used the old number and it went through.
Supposedly I paid $1100 but I never got charged for it.
Did I just accidentally defraud a massive corporation? Am I going to go to jail? Is Amazon sending men to break my kneecaps?

Have a small collection

Rich people. I could make the same thing for $3k, including the costs to have all the parts custom machined out of aluminum alloy, and the top of the line servo for speed stability.

The only reason to spend ten times that is if you're so rich that $3k or $30k isn't much of difference against the weekend it would take to assemble yourself.

I'm going to NYC for three days, do you guys have any recommendations for used shops I should hit up?

Picked up Ape of Naples over the weekend, July can't get here fast enough. Also got AMSP white reserved at my local store for Friday.

Holy shit nice TDAG. Which variant?

I really want to buy the seafoam green because it's one of the best looking records I've ever seen but it's too expensive :(

Every day I get a Discogs notification taunting me that someone put up an original pressing of XO or Leaves Turn Inside You or this fuckin album for over 100 bucks and it hurts

Speaking of which does anyone have the original Bong Load pressing of XO by Elliott Smith? I was going to spring for it and just pay 70 bucks since I love it so much but even with the original pressing I've heard things ranging from "it's the best-sounding record I own" to "full of shitty surface noise"

I really want to buy some of the Microphones reissues but the only one I really have an opinion on is Mount Eerie

And I fucking love Mount Eerie but the rest I kind of love a lot of moments but not sure about the whole album

Have you heard Backwards from last year vs. The New Backwards? I've put off listening to TNB for so long and so I actually just listened to it recently vs hearing the original Backwards earlier this year and honestly I kind of prefer the original in a lot of ways. I think some of the new songs drag a little

Take this with a grain of salt. I haven't graded anything and alot of my records are G+ and VG. On the other hand, I have over 300 records that are yet to be added to Discogs and some of those are semi-rare and in good shape. So the real number could be higher or lower, idk. I've only paid about $500 for my total collection but I was lucky to find a lot of stuff for much less than it goes for on discogs.

I have some records from the 60's that say on the cover or label that they're stereo, but they're clearly mono when listened to.

For example:

discogs.com/Crazy-World-Of-Arthur-Brown-The-Crazy-World-Of-Arthur-Brown/release/5221266
discogs.com/Yardbirds-Having-A-Rave-Up-With-The-Yardbirds/release/4455629

The Yardbirds record just has everything panned to the right channel so I guess it's technically stereo.

Was this just done for marketing purposes or what gives?

Yeah I have a lot that say something like "electronically . remastered to simulate stereo". A lot of things recorded in Mono got some kind of fake stereo applied to them when stereo came out.

I know it's in Canadian but in American it's about $9000

$90 on a 1977 pressing of the Star Wars OST

$150 on Gov Plates

what's a good turntable to buy if I only wanna listen through headphones? budget is 200.

i've bought a few $200 records. all rare funk and soul

v good yano album good choice

bump

>rough card
what u mean

there are no good turntables in that budget my friend, unless you get a used one

...

Nice
