      @Mizmazzle it’s the most comfortable listening / reading chair ever! Go for it, man. Just keep an eye out for a deal, for sure.

        @popvulture do your ears sit above or below the head rest? I know on the shitty IKEA chair I’m using my ears are below. Makes a noticeable difference in sound quality when I remove the headrest and the sound isn’t blocked behind my ears…not sure if any of this makes sense.

        In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

          Haha I will say I am sort of the lousiest audiophile, like I appreciate a nice setup but become sort of ignorant when it comes to the science of placement etc. For example, my speakers are in a totally ridiculous place in my living room, but it’s the only config I can really put them in from a functional standpoint, so I’ve just sorta lived with it.

          TLDR I haven’t noticed re: the headrest. I will say it’s pretty wide though.

              @setandsetting all beautiful! Do you have the Rega phono stage bc you’re using a MC cart? I’ve thought about doing that, always wondered how they sound vs MM.

                  I'm using the internal phono stage on the Luxman integrated and it is an MC cart: Denon 103R. The Rega box you're seeing is the speed controller or whatever it's called.

                  This is my first ever MC cart. It sounds good but honestly if you asked me the difference between this and the Ortofon 2M Black I had before I don't know that I could really tell you.

                      I'm in a transitional phase with small kids where 80% of my records are stored away with a few hundred down in my detached home office in makeshift shelves(old fruit crates)

                        Ahh right on — I’ve thought about getting g a P6 for that speed change box (and just for the kick of matching with my amp). Basically the reason I have the 1200 is I hate changing the belt on my MMF to play 45rpm.

                        Also I sorta feel the same way about cartridge differences — I have Ortofon blues on both of mine and they’ve never left me wanting more, but always been nonetheless curious about MC.

                          @Mizmazzle yes! Killer record, definitely a bit Dead-y (Lee’s professed his fandom many times over). Great slightly stony 70s-ish rock.

                            @popvulture hell yeah. Gonna check this one out! Interesting side note about his Dead Head fandom. I also know that Stephen Malkmus is a big Phish fan. Guess being an angsty punk/ indie guy fades some as we get older haha. Great music is great music.

                              I mean, when those guys were young they loved classic rock — I think a lot of what punk was came from people just trying to play what they liked and it came out as something new. Ian MacKaye’s said that he loved Grand Funk and Ted Nugent. Funny shit.

                                Have you ever heard Henry Rollins tell his stories of going to see Ted Nugent as a kid? Hilarious. He and Ian have been besties since being kids.

                                    I slept late instead of going out for RSD. I mostly don't care about these things and they're always available after the fact. I do want that Husker Du live thing though.

                                      Oh yeah, the belt changing thing is for the birds. When I had a Music Hall and had to change the belt I basically never played anything at 45RPM because it was a hassle. That MMF-5 was my first "real" turntable and it died a tragic death during a move.
