The Vinyl Thread: Still Listen On Wax, Don't Use The CD

[Wendy Carlos's Twin]

I just noticed today that Discogs has stopped letting users sell bootlegs.

Yeah, including things that have been erroneously marked "unofficial", which pisses me off to no end. I've already had to turn to eBay to get some things that should have been available on Discogs. Fuck those idiots.

I love Gargoyle so much.

I love Gargoyle so much.

2nd half really pops and comes together. Its a full album listen.

Also, I forgot how incredible El Corazon is from Steve Earle. What a great album.

Having not had one in years, I recently bought a new (vintage) turntable.

It’s not plugged in yet, and may not be for a few months, but I just wanted to let you guys know.

It's good to diversify your hobbies! I support this.

I've been toying with this idea recently too.

Enjoy bud.

Way overrated.

I ordered this tonight and couldn't be happier:

Time out of Mind.

Fuck me. So good.

I don't do sketches from memory.

Anyone have an extra copy of "What a Wonderful World" on 7" they'd like to sell or trade? That record is unbelievable hard to find in stores.

Hello fellow vinyl-enthusiasts!

Was hoping someone with more experience/knowledge than I (which is probably most of you) may have some advice.

I have a Audio-Technica AT-LP120 Turntable and have noticed that while the first few songs on any LP sound great, when it gets to the second half of a side any loud sections sound really static-y. I've tried cleaning the needle and resetting the counter weight as per the manual, and neither seems to improve the situation. Any tips or other ideas?...

Had the same turntable and experienced the same issue. It wasn't every record but it was a majority. Honestly i couldnt figure it out so i just upgraded the needle and that helped quite a bit.

Strange. Possible that the platter itself is offbalance?

Never used one of those tables. Is there a ground wire?

[AndySlash]

you didn't mention adjusting your anti skate http://blog.audio-technica.com/audio-so ... -need-set/ it probably won't eliminate all of the inner groove distortion, but it should help alleviate some of it.
