    FWIW I don't think you'll need much money for DMB vinyl this BF compared to last year.

    So does playing records wear them out? This guy has played one record over 50,000 times, it still plays just fine. If you have a decent turntable properly set up you will NOT wear out your records - http://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/leben/ge...story/21618757

    Quote:
    Translated, it says "The man who has listened to the same record 50,000 times"

    Albert Lukaschek runs Benz Cartridges in Schaffhausen. He tests all the cartridges that his - trained by himself - team of local housewives put together. To do this, he uses a vinyl record.
    The same vinyl record. Since 1994 or so.
    He has played and listened to this record around 50,000 times.

    He still likes it. Here words start to fail me, I don't think I like anything enough to play it 50,000 times.
    But it goes on. The record still plays fine.

    It's a stock copy of "Going Home", from the L.A. Four. A Japanese only pressing, done direct to disc, with some real greats on the instruments and on the desk. Recorded in 1977. Audiophile stuff. When you gotta listen to something 50,000 times make sure it's good I guess.
    He says that it's very high quality with the full range of dynamic frequencies on it, therefore very good for testing cartridges.

    i suppose. i guess the way i read it, the "i don't think you'll need much money" was the part i emphasized in my head.

    FYI - definitely not a hint based on solid info like last year, it's just my personal guess.

    I highly doubt we'll see two LT's for RSDBF. LT6 is going to be huge and either be really pricy or split into two volumes, which I doubt they'll do.

    I'm still pulling for the 10" Recently EP, but if I had to guess based on what little info is available, I'd say LT5.

    So, anyone is here use an acrylic plater on their turntable? I've been thinking about it, and wonder if it's worth the upgrade.

    Hey y'all,

    I posted this in DMBc earlier but it was suggested that I move my post here. Anyways, I'm looking for record player recommendations (leaning towards more of a vintage player that I don't need to plug into my home stereo). I would appreciate any recommendations that y'all can offer. Thanks!

    Welcome to the Vinyl Collectors Thread! Lots of knowledge and opinions in here.

    When you say you want a vintage player that you dont have to plug into your home stereo, do you mean that you want a portable player that has its own built in speakers?

    My setup is probably in line with a lot of folks - Rega P1, the older version of the RP1 now available: http://www.soundadviceblog.com/wp-co...7/09/p1web.jpg

    I upgraded to the Groovetracer platter within a few months: http://groovetracer.com/

    For me, the difference was the best $200 upgrade I could think of (I think it was less when I got it, but might be wrong). I didn't experience an upgrade with more impact until I upgraded my speakers - really the only other upgrade around that price in between was a stylus upgrade and it made a marginal difference for me at best.

    I think it depends on what platter/mat you're already using though. That P1 wood platter + felt mat is a weak setup imo. The felt alone added so much static/dust/dog hair that it was a huge pain and reduced the quality every time I changed sides unless I brushed for 5 minutes. Records also never laid perfectly flat.

    The acrylic solved both of those issues, and I feel like the sound is less muddy on top of it with less resonance from the speakers picked up (but that could just be me). On top of that, I think it looks pretty sweet when it picks up some of the color from colored vinyl. Below isn't the best pic and would have been better with the dust cover lifted but it's the only one I have handy and you probably get the idea.

    Still, I bet if you have a sturdy platter to begin with and a nice rubber mat, you aren't experiencing the same issues I had and might not enjoy the upgrade as much. Hope this helps in some way!

    If it is a "single" I would much rather it be delivered on a 12" than a 7". I usually find 12" singles have better sonics than 7" singles. Keep those grooves to the outside whenever possible.

    Also regarding the Peppers inner groove, Sean Magee and Steve Berkowitz recently answered several questions from Super Deluxe Edition readers and questions 12 and 13 were about this:

    Quote:
    12: From Mike the Fish: How many attempts did it take to get the Sgt Pepper inner groove right?

    > Sean Magee: “I’ve done this lock groove 9 times now. Originally it was 15 goes for the stereo, I had to do this for both the EUR and USA pressings, for the mono, it originally took 9 goes, then I think a further 9 or 10 once we moved to all analogue.”

    13. From Tom Hermance: Was there one particular album that gave you more sonic trouble than the others? If so, which album and what happened?

    > Steve Berkowitz: “All of the albums are unique and the original vinyl versions are audible and attainable from the original analog MONO master tapes from The Beatles vault.

    No, no one album was more difficult than the others – except for maybe, Sean’s cutting of the infinite loop at the end of Sgt. Pepper – that was and is tricky and Sean nailed it.”

    > Sean Magee: “They all behaved very well, and that’s all credit to the engineers that recorded them.”

    One of the vinyl groups I'm in on Facebook a guy posted the Guardians of the Galaxy LP and I asked how'd it sound? He said it sounded real good and quiet. Said it was definitely worth the pickup. I'd been waiting to hear if it was gonna be a good pressing because it was such a low price for 2 LPs. Guess I'll be grabbing that one soon.

    Guys with the new Beatles Mono albums - I'm gonna be picking these up piecemeal. I'm willing to duplicate some but not all since I have a lot of these already. I get Sgt. Pepper is a definite must have even if duplicating, but which others have blown you away most with this mono pressing?

    Fwiw, if I don't think about it too much, I generally settle on Revolver as my favorite Beatles album. Thanks!

    I got the acrylic platter for my Pro-ject Debut III. I honestly didn't notice a lot of difference in sound quality, but it does look nice. I mean I thought my setup sounded pretty good before and it still sounds good now. So I don't really doubt there was an improvement perhaps, but maybe I just don't know what to look for.

    I'm in the same boat, plan to pick them up one at a time. One question I have, why are the mono collies of the White Album foil numbered? I didn't see any number on the other mono albums.

    Interesting, thanks! That's the same turntable I have, not sure I want to upgrade just for the looks....

    I think it's because the original first pressings of the White Album were numbered, and they were trying to replicate as closely as possible the packaging of the originals.

    If you have the early pre-2009 remastered cd's of the early stuff then you're good on a mono recording (meaning get those last). Right about Rubber Soul is when The Beatles started having input on the mixes. Most drastically different from stereo and mono are Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, MMT and White Album. Anything before then won't be too noticeable as a whole. Even Revolver isn't much of a change, but lots of little extras throughout the album for your listening enjoyment.

    This is correct. They did it so fans could say "Oh, I got album number such and such!" The Beatles got numbers 1-4, John claiming 1. Also a neat fact: the album wasn't originally to be all white. The original concept had the skin of an apple rubbed against it leaving a small smear mark; but they had a hard time picking up the smear mark in the printer so they abandoned the idea.

    Outside of the mix though the first two albums should NEVER have been released in STEREO and they are glaringly awful when not listened to in Mono given they were both 2-track, so vocals on one side, instruments on the other.

    Still have never intentionally listened to the first two albums in stereo. Even my mom's american vinyl albums were purchased in mono. Just have no desire. There is no point.

Anything before then won't be too noticeable as a whole. Even Revolver isn't much of a change, but lots of little extras throughout the album for your listening enjoyment.
    Which remasters are you referring to pre-2009? The 2009 releases were the first time the Beatles catalog was ever remastered since they were originally issued on CD in 1987.

    I think the early albums are essential in mono. While they don't have the actual differences in the versions the way Revolver, Pepper, and the White Album do, IMO sonically they are night and day better than the stereo versions.
