Bumping with what I got

Recent pickups:
>Rubber Soul, original Brazilian release in fake mono
>Remain in Light, late 80's reissue (sounds really punchy and loud in a good way, I wonder if the original is the same)
>The Mollusk, original LP from UK
>Exuma, Brazilian LP in mono, got it for 7 bucks

On the way:
>Deathspell Omega - Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice 2xLP, probably the most recent repress
>Pan.Thy.Monium's Dawn of Dreams and Khaooohs, in blue and gold/black vinyl respectively

Fat Beats had a pretty good sale over the weekend and got these two for pretty cheap. Never listened to Tobacco's solo stuff, but I really like Black Moth and figured I'd like this.

I don't know why just using it on vinyl version triggers me.

My old flea market turntable finally died, so I picked up an LP120. Won't be sitting on the receiver once I move to my new spot in a few weeks.

>>61924985
congrats.

make sure you actually set it up though, i've noticed most of you fags think decks are just plug and play, which they are not.

Don't worry I read the whole manual before I touched the fucking thing. I don't want to wreck the stylus or my records by having the couterweight all fucked.

Just picked this up today. It's a french reissue and they fucked up the art with fucking logos, but the record itself is in great condition. Sounds clean and isn't warped at all. It was on my wantlist for a long time, but once Bowie died I figured it was as good a time as any to finally pick it up.

>fuck wit me

what do you think he meant by this?

>>61925248

Not all

I'm hearing a some clipping on vocals on a few of my albums but not on others. The ones I'm hearing it on are all original pressings from 67-95 so I'm wondering if they're just worn, if that's just a mastering thing, or if my counter weight should be adjusted. I have an SL-1200.

>>61925275
yes, but thats the same as saying not all old recordings sound good.

its not fucking heart surgery, its a majority thing, just because there is a margin of error doesn't mean its wrong.

>>61925300

Adjust counterweight
Adjust antiskating
Align cartridge

>>61925300
your weight is adjust to your cartridge, look up your cartidge settings and adjust as such.

Why do basics who all have the same exact fucking table bother posting?

>>61925345
because they are proud to be part of the club, and I've yet to see a system posted on /mu/ or /g/ that is substantial enough to make the jump from the 1200/lp120's to spend any more money.

The closest i've seen was hornloaded, but i have no clue if that fucktard still post over on /g/.

aside from him the money spent is not worth buying anything more.

>>61925333
>>61925334
Yeah I just remembered I never recalibrated it after I moved and I probably should've.

Does anyone have a pdf or something of the part of the manual that talks about balancing the stylus?

the balance and antiskate are done per the cartidges specs.

the counterweight is level to the horizon based on the hight of the tonearm.

you need a guide to set tracking, or you can guess.

>treasures
at best. Everything you have is used, and was midfi when it came out.

Welp, I was planning on getting an AT LP-120 this weekend, but now I can't for about 6 weeks. Should I blow what I'd saved up on some stuff I think might sell out while I wait or keep sitting on it?

Tangentially related, I need a new CD player for my stack, I'd like to be able to do CD, SACD, and HDCD, but searching around I'm not finding any decent answers, was wondering if anyone here had some ideas. Everything but my table is flea market stuff, so I don't need audiophile smoke and mirrors, I'm just looking for the cheapest at the shenzhen market sort of thing

LP120 is the safest bet, hence why most people use it or the almost identical table it was modeled after. At a bare minimum, it needs a counterweight. Sound quality is one thing but with out a proper counterweight, you're potentially actively destroying your records

>>61925856
what are you misunderstanding, your garage sale, craigsslist, " if you buy vintage your money goes farther" shit is junk by any measurable standard

I recently found a copy of Mellow Gold in a record shop under the new section. Ended up getting it thinking it was to good to be true to see a repressing I hadn't heard about and it turns out I was right. In my ignorance I got a shitty bootleg on a marbled colored record that sounds like it's been pressed from a record recorded from another record rip. First time I've done this so I guess you live and you learn on this kinda stuff.

At least I learned that discogs can sometimes give insight into what you're getting yourself into. Hopefully the shop will exchange it for me.
