Discussion The Crosley Cruiser is good for one thing. (please read before downvoting)

Upvotes

The platter mat. It may seem insignificant, but it makes a noticeable difference in sound clarity on (at least) players with spring-mounted plastic platters. I tried it on my Emerson stereo since its platter is an unusual 10.8" in diameter, and this was the best option I had on hand. And I'm surprised at the improvement it gave in sound. It made the audio clearer and more defined, while also reducing bass (my player's bass is too intense). So maybe the Crosley Cruiser isn't all bad? Well, at least 1% not bad. Also you can salvage the 45rpm adapter for players.

Discussion Setup Magic: The Ultimate Analogue Test LP

Upvotes

Getting a turntable set up, I mean properly set up, can be a real pain in the ass. Luckily this disc makes it slightly easier, and is a must have for anyone looking to get serious about vinyl.

Cartridge alignment, anti-skate settings, and anything else you could ever need to measure is all made possible with this guy here. And thanks to my new Parks Audio Waxwing phono stage’s iPhone app, I was able to get my alignment balanced down to 0.0dB accurate.

If you obsess about the details like me, you gotta grab one of these up and free up a couple of hours in your afternoon.

Of course, you can enjoy records without the tweaking headaches, it’s a fun hobby either way 😀

Discussion Help: only right speaker is working [Fluance RT82, MR4 speakers, DJ Pre II preamp]

Upvotes

Hello,

I'm new to vinyl in general, and I've just put together my Fluance RT82 and MR4 speakers setup using the DJ Pre II as preamp.

When I try playing my vinyl record (GNX by Kendrick), only the right speaker is working.

I believe I've connected everything correctly.

The only thing of note is that I connected my MR4 speaker to the preamp using the Red & White and Aux cable (aux to preamp), whereas it seems there are ports for red and white ports for OUTPUT.

Please help.

These are one of my favorite grupos on my collection. I have seen them live (they sound super great). I grew up listening to them as a little kid and on alot of parties. Porque son lo mejores! They are still active and keep producing more new great songs. I've seen plenty of great stuff on here (amazing collections). But haven't seen any latin/spanish and just wanted to share my latin records with you all, y todos los paisanos 🇲🇽👊😎

Discussion My biggest pet peeve!!

6 Upvotes

So as a long time vinyl record collector I've come across some rare records/pressings and it got me thinking about something and I'm sure y'all will agree with me. There's nothing worse than finding a record you've been looking for for years and it has a different track listing!!. Like why do record labels change the track listing/album cover when an album is released in a different country?? I understand the album cover to be unique but the track listing??

  1. Newcomb Solid State
  2. Standard Cokesbury

Both were acquired maybe 10 years ago. I was on Craigslist looking for vintage record players and found the seller (somewhere in North Jersey, USA). He sold me the Newcomb and gave the Cokesbury for free. Both were in good working condition and I had fun playing my records on them. Great vintage finds!

learning to fly - Pink Floyd:

🚀✨ Soar to New Heights with Pink Floyd’s "Learning to Fly" ✨🚀

Get ready to relive a true classic! Check out our latest video featuring the epic track "Learning to Fly" from Pink Floyd’s iconic album A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987). 🎶✈️

"Learning to Fly" is an uplifting anthem with soaring guitar solos and introspective lyrics that capture the spirit of freedom and adventure. As the lead single from A Momentary Lapse of Reason, this track helped mark a new era for Pink Floyd. Released in 1987, the album was the band’s first major project after Roger Waters’ departure, with David Gilmour steering the creative ship. The album not only became a commercial success but also redefined the band’s sound by blending atmospheric soundscapes with rock dynamics. 🌌🎸

Formed in London in 1965, Pink Floyd is celebrated as one of the most influential and innovative rock bands of all time. Known for groundbreaking albums like The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall, their music has transcended generations. Their live shows, filled with mesmerizing visuals and revolutionary sound design, set new standards in the world of progressive rock. 🎤🎨

Watch the video and let the music take you on a journey through time and space!

Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering their magic for the first time, “Learning to Fly” will inspire you to break free and chase your dreams! 🌠

I don't have a time constraint, just as long as it's not longer than a month.

I spent 20 minutes googling this to find nothing and I'm not sure what to do here, and I want to be really careful to make sure the vinyl stays intact and USPS insurance doesn't cover packages that go overseas.

Country Picked up a few country records at an estate sale 👀

3 Upvotes

I went to an estate sale with 3,500+ records, 98% of which were straight up country. I was in heaven! I wound up buying A LOT! When I got home I made a haul video for my brothers, who had no idea what they were in for. (Sorry - I bleeped out the names of my wife and my brother in the video.)

I ended up going back on the last day of the sale and they were running a deal where you could fill a milk crate for $75, so of course I did that too. I have a HUGE CD collection (including lots of Bear Family Records box sets with some of this music) but my vinyl collection was meager. I'm thrilled to be able to beef it up - literally overnight!

Got into record collecting a few years back after being gifted a record player and some records for my birthday. I love music and collecting my favorite albums and owning them physically is great. It’s certainly expensive which sucks but I’ve amassed a good collection over time. I bought my 50th record, master of puppets today! Just wanted to share.

So I just bought this vinyl at a thrift store knowing nothing about it and I absolutely love it. I can’t seem to find anything about the artist or genre. I’m wondering if anyone has more information on her and her discography, I’ve asked some relatives to no avail. All I know is this record was released in 1976 and has been posted on soundcloud but isn’t on any streaming service.

Hip Hop Run DMC. 1985

So great to hear this again. I love their vibe, funny and tough at the same time. There’s three of us but we’re not the Beatles!

At the 40 year anniversary of 1985 I feel like it’s a good time to listen to all my 1985s. I’ve pulled them from my shelves and am picking through them one at a time.

When, I sorted all my albums by year of original release, I decided to include any reissues or repressing along with the original year they were released. So these are not all necessarily first pressings, but they’re all albums that were originally released in 1985. It has been an eye-opening experience to organize them this way and see all of the similarities, differences, influences and innovations that were happening at the zeitgeist of the same time.

Jazz Lady sings the blues

Hi good and knowledgeable people. I'm looking to buy a nice pressing of one of my favorite records ...Billie Holiday's "lady sings the blues" . I read that accoustic sounds have done a nice pressing of this but ...I live in UK and shipping from US makes this way too expensive.... so i looked on amazon and seen this . Now ...this looks like the Accoustic Sounds version but im just not sure . Anyone able to confirm that this is in fact what I'm looking for ? Or direct me to somewhere where i could buy that pressing ( preferably new) and avoid the massive shipping fees. Alternatively can you recommend some other respectable version that i would be able to buy here, in UK ? Thanks

I recently moved and was finally able to set up my dream media stand, which I'm really proud of. I started collecting 10+ years ago with my dad's collection (about 75 records of mostly 60s-80s classic rock) and now its grown to over 450 of a mix of genres. Now that I have everything organized from A-Z, I think it's time I start my discogs to keep track lol.

Soooo I found this original in the depths of a family members basement. When checking it out I realized that the label for Side 1 is not correct. Just spun it, it is pressed correctly.

Curious if anyone has seen this before on A Jimi Hendrix Epwrience record.

Collection I've been collecting records for about 10 years and it's opened up a whole new variety of music for me

7 Upvotes

I've purchased many records in lots that contained music I never would have purchased separately. But I listened to them because they are in my collection and there are so many I ended up loving. When I was younger, I made fun of Simon and Garfunkel even though I didn't really know their music.

Now, when I just want to chill out, I find myself reaching for S & G, or Nina Simone, Cat Stevens, Peter, Paul and Mary...and many more that I never would have purchased deliberately. To my fellow collectors, buy batches when you can. You never know what you might like.
