@Aetas said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

But in the time of smartphones, I always double check right in the shop.

I typically do the same but in the case of the Austrian Teletubies (schlager) I had left my ear buds at the office so I was flying blind

I know this problem @GraemeE

Has anyone of you tried to use an Bluetooth adapter like this
linked into the LP player your shop provides?
You can avoid the stinky headphones tons of customers have used before.
Plug and play with your own buds…
I love it!

Edit: Nowadays I do also a quick Discogs research to compare price and sound. Shame on me ‍️.

@Aetas that's a good idea

@Aetas same here. I almost always do a little discogs research before I buy a record. Might as well go for the best!!

[GraemeE]

Just found this mono copy of the first dead record while going through some of my boxes in storage

[Mizmazzle]

@steelydan curious how that Cannon Ball Adderly sounds…thought about picking up a copy myself.

[steelydan]

@GraemeE that greatful is a gem ..
@Mizmazzle , didn't open it yet ...i bought it is because i didn't have a clean copy in my collection, always like this album.. so .. may as well get a clean copy .

Today's thrift finds

When we bought our house this room was designated as my listening room. However, it was overflow storage for years. I listened amongst boxes, bags, and random dump location for a couple years. We’ve finally managed to get it cleared out and some art on the walls. I’m so stoked. Now time to add some more storage, a better listening chair and get settled in!!

[tody]

@Mizmazzle That looks like a full vintage setup. What do you have there?

[Mizmazzle]

@tody yeah it is. mostly 70’s era
Pioneer SX-850
Pioneer PL-570 (refurbished and veneered in rosewood)
Acoustic Research AR 2ax speakers (circa 1965)
SVS Sub (not a vintage component)

Christmas present from a friend. Loving Savoy
This is a licenced French pressing from the late 60‘, and all three are in mint condition .

[Mizmazzle]

@Aetas those are beautiful!! What a great gift!

[Mizmazzle]

Here’s a gift I got for Christmas. It’s the 33 1/3 mastering. Stoked to listen uninterrupted!!

[setandsetting]

@Mizmazzle What's that framed on your side wall there?

[Mizmazzle]

@setandsetting they are sand paintings of tigers I got when I was in Myanmar. Then the one on the left wall, which can’t be seen really is an old tattoo book of Buddhist imagery that I found at a village market in Myanmar as well.
