LITA comps are great! Love the artwork too. They do capsule releases on the artist here and there and that’s where a bulk of collection in the genre come from. Easier to find the music via streaming too

LP‘s with an OBI are something special, aren’t they @68degreesorless ?

[68degreesorless]

@Aetas Yes! It’s grown on me a lot. Now I see the beauty aesthetically. I think it could also be a bit of Pavlov situation given the quality of the sound within. This one is no exception.

Conditioning is underrated @68degreesorless !

Since we don’t have an equipment thread, is the best place to rant? My project debut carbon evo turntable had a screw on the tonearm lift come loose on Sunday. Big design flaw, the whole tonearm assembly has to be removed in order to retighten the screw. I’ve had it less than 9 months. There are only 2 repair shops in Columbus and it’s $85 min bench fee and 4-6 week turnaround time. To. Tighten. A. Screw.

So after I dropped it off at repair shop, I bit the bullet and ordered the upgrade I’ve been eyeing, a mofi ultradeck w/ ultratracker cart. Luckily got an open box special. I’m too deep into this hobby right now to sit on the sidelines for 4-6 weeks. Plus now that I know what a pain these TTs are to get serviced, it’ll be good having a backup on hand. Feeling a bit guilty for the large unplanned spend, angry/disappointed at the project design flaw (otherwise it’s been a great table with really good sound for a noob like me) and supply/demand imbalance in the repair market, and excited for the upgrade all at once.

Hope you get what you hope for!

A good day can end with Leonard!

It was great to communicate with you @GraemeE about Bohren.
So you know what I found .
I’ve hidden this two for you

Thanks @endo for your kind words a few days ago 🫶.

[GraemeE]

@Aetas I think you came out ahead in the end but I have no doubt Bohren will make its way onto your shelf at some point.

[Aetas]

@GraemeE
Shure you will even but some more on yours .
You are free to choose between the following payment options…

[GraemeE]

@Aetas I would love to (and will at some point) own all of those.
I would however like to remain married.....so I'll need to leave some time between purchases

This one's a bit all over the place but has some great moments

Ironically I was just looking at this model for inside the house but may re-consider now

[68degreesorless]

@GraemeE It's still a good table for the money. Especially when you upgrade the stylus to Moonstone. I'd probably still buy it again if I was shopping in that price range. But I did find a few other online reviews / forum posts where people mention having the same issue I did. So not a total fluke. Biggest learning for me is save all the original packaging. If I had that, would have been easier to pursue warranty / refund kind of thing.

@GraemeE what would be a good starting point for Goblin?

[GraemeE]

@Tago-Mago Suspiria is the one I was first introduced to so that would be a good start

From there it kind of depends on your appetite for some of the "cheesier" aspects of prog and synth music
