My recent acquisitions.. by reallifeminifigin vinyl

[–]hellomika 1 point2 points ago

I had the Capitol reissue of Kid A, and I thought it sounded good. I just received the original UK pressing of Kid A, and comparing the 2 made me realize that Capitol did a sloppy job. The difference is flagrant on side C.

Shopping around need help by chefboy132in vinyl

Ah I don't know much about that. I'd say try to support your local record store if you have one. Amazon is a good suggestion too to buy online, as is SoundStage, Music Direct and InSound. For records from the UK, Amazon UK and EIL. You can support your favorite artists by buying directly from them or their label if possible. Finally, for older and rarer records, you have Discogs and eBay.

What kind of music? Any particular genre? Label?

boxset porn: Amon Tobin by 808estatein vinyl

[–]hellomika 0 points1 point ago

Not sure if you already knew, but since you pre-ordered the box, you can get early bird tickets to Amon Tobin's fall tour. I've already seen it and I'm going again (twice!). I think they actually enlarge the set with even more cubes and larger projection!

I just received it too. It's really nice! I was quite surprised by the fact that the back and front pieces are... wood! Smells good too.

You should write more about what this box is and what's in it.

And this box is not sold out yet.

What is the most you've ever spent on a single record? by AISimin vinyl

[–]hellomika 2 points3 points ago

Do boxsets count? I paid $200 for Massive Attack's 11-disc boxset. Still kicking myself for not getting it when it was cheaper. I think the most expensive album I got was Emilie Simon debut album, $90. Bummer here too since I used to have a copy I bought when it was still in store, at maybe $15.

Electronic and Dance Music make most of my collection. My favorite label is Ninja Tune.

I frame only the jacket and I put my records in generic cardboard sleeves.

Now that Technics MKs definitely seem to be abandoned forever (why, oh stupid brand, why?): What is the best turntable for DJing, r/vinyl? by rockenrohlin vinyl

[–]hellomika 2 points3 points ago

SL 1200. Easy and cheap to fix, maintain, upgrade. Get a pair for under $400.

Sorry it took so long to rescue your post out of the spam filter. I was away all weekend and apparently my fellow mods are slackers >>

Good luck!

Well, on this subreddit, you can not sell your records for money (only for cookies or equivalent). You can trade them, or better yet, give them away under your own rules. Making people pay for postage is fair though.

I would assess the collection and sell the rare ones on /r/vinylcollectors (or Discogs, or eBay). But if you don't mind making people happy and being rewarded that way, this is the place :)

Au Granada. M83 est un groupe français. Le batteur est un ami.

Texas?! Fait pas un peu chaud en été? :)

C'est infernal ici aussi en OK. On est déjà à 85-90° et c'est une des raisons pourquoi Seattle est ma ville préférée. Autres raisons: Le fait de pouvoir marcher dans la rue (pas de trottoirs ici) et utiliser les transports en communs, la culture de la région, le café, la musique, la proximité avec le Canada, montagnes, forêt et océan pas loin.

Demain par exemple, je dois faire plus de 8h de route (aller-retour) pour aller à Dallas pour voir un concert (M83). Quand c'est pas Dallas, c'est Kansas City ou Denver. Commence à fatiguer :)

J'ai hâte de bouger à Seattle l'année prochaine.

You can trade but you can't sell. You can sell only for $0 or a couple of cookies ;)

To sell your records: /r/vinylcollectors

We should have a flare for those who send records out, or do a good trade by -_-readitin RandomActsOfVinyl

We do have a system. DerTauman, FlairMaster Extraordinaire, manages the thing :)

Take a look at the MTV Chill Out Zone playlists from 1999. It's a gold mine! Full of underrated and forgotten stuff. Other years are great too, of course.

Mouais, ça va mais une vraie, une bonne baguette me manque. Au niveau crêpe, je suis gâté ! On à une crêperie à Tulsa, ils utilisent une machine qu'ils ont acheté en France et ils se sont entraînés à Paris !

C'est vrai. Ceci dit j'ai converti ma femme à Omar et Fred (le SAV) et ils la font bien rire :) (avec un peu d'aide à la traduction).
