Vinyl Thread [ARCHIVED] • Page 667

I was worried subbing to this thread would ruin my wallet but I haven't bought any records recently

Wait I lied I bought Rebecca Black's album

Thinking of buying Tessa Violet's new one as well; maybe if I go see her again I can just get it there

My Insignia turnable arrived (it's a bit scruffed but it was only $80 including shipping and it seems to play all right) so I'll be giving my friend my Crosley suitcase. He's already purchased a vinyl of GotG2. I'm the bad influence in my friend group for once

The Insignia doesn't have built in speakers but I can still hear it faintly, it's not as prominent/annoying as my Crosley was even on lowest volume, but I'm just wondering if it had something to do with the built in preamp or something, has anyone else experienced this?

 

What kind of speakers do you have it hooked up to?

 

That's irrelevant, the sound is coming from the turntable itself even when nothing's plugged in

 

Are you saying it's just the sound from the needle on the record?

 

What kind of sound are you referring to then?

 

I don't think so?

It's playing the music

 

So even without amplification, the record spinning with the needle on it is what plays the music, so you'll be able to hear it at least a little. After that it's just a matter of boosting that signal to be able to hear it louder and clearer.

 

Ah okay so I guess @bobsheiskawy was right then

 

I remember being soooo confused the first time I experienced that, having no idea that’s how it worked

 

Sorry if you already know this, but if you've upgraded from your Crosley you'll need a couple things. Turntable > Preamp (which it sounds like you already have) > Amp > Passive Speakers or Turntable > Preamp > Powered Speakers.

 

What I consider a light mail day. Great tunes.

 

yupyup! I have turntable (w/ preamp) & cd/dvd player > RCA input switcher > miniamp > powered subwoofer > passive speakers

 

48 hr presale

Double that for the first pressing and then send 1500 copies out whenever stock starts to dwindle

 

Add another one to the 2023 vinyl purchases.

 

Right, it doesn't hurt to gauge interest. Especially since it's the 20th anniversary and us old heads with disposable income would jump at the chance at some nostalgia.

 

you guys expect rights holders at major labels to behave rationally

 

I'm your opposite. I rarely order albums through the mail - entirely due to shipping (occasionally through amazon: Brainiac's Hissing Prigs in Static Couture for $19.99? Yes please,) so most all my purchases are from a record store... some of the prices for used albums blow my eyes out the back of my skull... I've had to buy several replacement skulls.

 

One of the best mail days in recent memory…

 

I just got You Were Never Alone this week, too!

 

Catching up on a little more than a month’s worth of new additions to the family…bit of a spree haha. Probably not buying much for awhile now as I’m basically out of shelf space and my wantlist is considerably thinned after recent represses and pulling the trigger on some classics I just hadn’t gotten around to grabbing.

 

All good looking new children in this thread imo

 

37 so far this year, didn’t Punchline release an album called 37 Everywhere? Lol

 

That album is the reason I put a 37 in my email address in high school

 

Friday morning gloomy-day tunes

 

On the other extreme I visit my local store enough that I'm on a first name basis with half the staff.
