Super limited, not sure how many copies are out there but it sold out very quickly and they havn't put anything else out. It's ****ing awesome.
Thats a pretty cool looking vinyl. I'm assuming it's a picture disk correct? Or did they somehow press vinyl into that hand shape. From what I know, that wouldn't be possible. Mos Def has one of his records pressed in that style with grey stars on black vinyl. I think it was a picture disk IIRC

it's laser etched

I was looking at getting one of their Debut Carbon Esprit tables. The one with the acrylic platter. But then I fixed my old Dual 721. One day I'll get it but I'm happy to save the money for now.

It's good to talk about vinyl, but what about we play them on?! I'm looking for an all in one record player that I could record to USB as well. What some good players you guys have had good experiences with?

Yeee! I'd answer your previous question, but I really don't know. I've been using a cheap audio technica for now. Dreaming of am expensive player one day.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #116 on:** Mon, 04 May 2015, 08:48:14 »

You can always get any standard turntable with RCA out, and connect up something like a Behringer UFO2 U-Phono. It's what I have connected to my stanton so I can just hook it up to my PC and play records through my PC connected amp+speakers set up as it's all I have. While I haven't tried it, it came with some software for 'live' recording.
Alternately, I have seen others just use a small cheap phono preamp and connect it via soundcard line in to achieve the same result.

I'm spinning on an old 70s Dual 721 direct drive fully auto table. Looking to upgrade cuz I think it could sound much better. But it's my dad's old table and for now it will do just fine. The highs are a little distorted sometimes but I'm not sure if that's my gear or the records.

Make sure that you have a good cartridge with a clean undamaged stylus.

Dual turntables are great until they start to wear out, but then they are all but impossible to repair or rehab.

I wash dirty records with a hot soapy sponge in the kitchen sink, 5% of labels will have a problem with it.

TCC 750 or 760 is a very good little preamp at a very reasonable price.

I replaced the stylus when I restored it. The cartridge likely needs replacing. But it's working for now. Carts can get pretty expensive. It's tracking fine and not skating at all so everything is set up and functioning as it should except for the auto start stop. The switch is stripped so I opened it up and disabled that part of the internals. So it's technically only semi auto now with the arm being the only thing that I can lift and set with a lever. Placing the stylus on the leading edge of the record is still up to me physically pushing it over.

I don't know what you like, but my dad was a DJ so I kept some of his Beetle's records if you want them. All I would need is shipping for them. Not sure if they work, but I am almost 100% positive sure they do

One of my favorite artists releases their albums on vinyl, yet they only do quite limited runs that sell out quickly. I have regretted not getting some of their earlier vinyls because after I finish uni I plan to get a nice vinyl player, and the vinyls are no longer easily available. Today I received their most recent album on vinyl, which is my first vinyl, and just a showpiece for now!

Dang. Is that an open offer?

I'll try to snag a picture of my latest vinyl later today. I found my third Otis Redding album! Unfortunately, the rest of my vinyl is at home (I'm at college), so I can't take any more pictures than what I have here.

EDIT: Here she is:

The price tag and blue tag are on the sleeve it's in.

I think Halverson has the Audioengine A5+ monitors if I remember correctly. They seem like pretty good little speakers for the price in my opinion.
