Hopefully someone here can help:
Setup my new AT120 and the only way the records sounds normal is with the counterweight at 3.5, but I've seen it should be around 1.9-2.0. Does this mean I messed something up?

 

did you properly set the counterweight? I was confused the first time I did it too.

 

I followed the instructions and a YouTube video and then when I played the record the weight seemed off (tonearm bouncing around, for example) so I played with it and it seemed to play well now that it's at 3.3

I can try that video you linked to, appreciate it.

 

Had $30 cashback on one of my cards, got U2's Joshua Tree for $1.50. Just got AT&T internet and they gave me a $50 visa gift card. Got John Mayer's live album Where The Light Is for free. Gotta love getting free records. Also got Glass Animals How to Be a Human Being from Vinyl Me Please. It was a good day coming back to all three at the door

 

Yeah I was confused the first time I did mine. I didn't realize you move the counterweight to where the tonearm is completely balanced, THEN you set the weight ring to 0, and THEN you turn the counterweight to 2.0.

 

Ooh, I've been looking for a good, cheap copy of The Joshua Tree. Where did you get it from?

 

Bought it on Amazon. It's $28.99 on there, I just used my cashback towards it to get it for cheap

 

hey even if 50% of a company's orders are fucked up there's still the chance someone could get lucky and never have an issue
good job being like six standard deviations outside of the norm, you dirty outlier, you

 

Came in the mail yesterday:

Cloud Rat/Disrotted Split 12"
Totem Skin - Weltschmerz (Test Press)

 

Does anybody know anything about the matrix ost being released? There seems to be two different versions on amazon, but one is available now and the other says it's being released August 4th. They both say red pill/blue pill edition but they have different track listings. I'm just wondering if the one available now is the same limited edition one.

 

I just bought the VMP fleet foxes crack up. Can't wait!

 

I thought it sold out a while back?!?

 

Ugh, I'm gonna be so broke by the end of this year. Just preordered the deluxe version of the new QOTSA record for $50. $13 shipping is atrocious

 

Do I fall for the SRC trap? 20% for Father's Day with DAD20. Tempted to just get one of the blue copies of Enema of the State.

 

I snagged it off discogs for too much money haha

 

20% off your purchase and a 20% (or more) chance you'll get screwed over.

 

It's available through Bull Moose for $47 total including shipping.

Queens of the Stone Age - Villains (Deluxe Edition)

 

Heads up, we've got a Discogs thread up in General now for those with their collections catalogued!

 

I get DM'd about once a week by people asking me to sell them my copy of It Hates You by He Is Legend. If you ever see that record around, pick it up and sell it, I'm sick of getting these messages.

 

Lol good to know. What kind of offers do you get? Must be pretty rare?

 

Most of them are "look through my collection and see if we can trade!" but nothing's been worth it. Highest someone offered was $60 though, but only if it was sealed, which it is not.

 

Check out Aliendaysbruh's music collection on Discogs

Alright here's my decent sized collection, I have a few preorders I'm waiting for

 

Ah yeah I gotcha. I'll probably keep an eye out! I feel like I'm always seeing stuff at my local shops that I'm like... "man I don't want this but this is definitely something a lot of people are probably looking for"

 

I love Bullmoose and totally would have done that, but I preordered specifically from the Matador store to get access to the presale for their tour

 

Hey y'all! Selling a few things from my collection, figured I'd offer them up here. All are make an offer, if you're interested in something I'm sure we can work it out:

Modest Mouse - Strangers to Ourselves (2x LP - Black)

Saosin - Self/Titled (White w/ Black Smoke - SRC - LTD to 750)

Amy Winehouse - Frank (2x LP - Black)

O Brother, Where Art Thou? Soundtrack

Lady Lamb - After (Signed)

New Found Glory - A Very New Found Glory Christmas Cassette (Ltd. to 2000)
