Funny how even for that much money for something just collecting dust...it still hurt like a mother fucker to say goodbye.

Damn, nice price but still a tough sell I'm sure. I've been kicking around selling off my DMB Live Trax RSD's for a similar reason, there are other things I would like to do with the $ vs watch it sit on my shelf. But so far I can't pull the trigger. I haven't played a single record (ANY record) in 6 months, why do I have so many?

Damn, can't believe they're going for so much. Guess it's time to move one of my sets! I picked up a second one back when Amazon Canada had that crazy price drop, was like $90 shipped.

Followed you earlier man. I’m cmjvinyl.

Just pre-ordered one for the collection although I too have little time to spin vinyl lately. Find whenever I have a chance to work from home thats usually when I end up spinning stuff - but that's been a rarity in itself lately.

I was over at Cjobes Friday night listening to the new Hendrix Stereo UHQR pressing. It has me itching to open up my stereo. I can’t make myself open the mono UHQR for what it’s going to go for. Also got the Portrait In Jazz One Step in yesterday that will definitely be spinning soon.

[BTBaboon]

^ nice!

If anyone has both the new UHQR and the recent Grundman remaster from 2010ish, I'd love to hear how they compare.

[magnumdan]

Thanks guys!

My parents bought me a UTurn turntable and damn, they nailed it. Acrylic platter, Orotofon 2M Red cartridge... can't wait to get it back to my apartment and finally spin some records.

Wait. What? Permanently?

They're going through some pretty serious growing pains it seems lately. Hope they don't jump the shark

[AndySlash]

they say it's a 'pause', but if a community area comes back it won't be this forum.

[BTBaboon]

That's fucking dumb. Feel bad for the one, sigular, mod over at r/vinylmeplease. He's about to have his hands full

[AndySlash]

he's already asked for mod interest inquiries

Thanks! I am really excited to get it plugged in and to spin some records. It has the built-in pre-amp, too, so I don't even have to think about that. Planning to upgrade to floor-standing speakers at some point so that I have full surround, can't wait to hear the record player on it.

If you care about Oldplay (aka older Coldplay) their Brothers & Sisters EP is getting a vinyl re-issue in two different 7" records.

After a a week or two of waiting, my MoFi UltraTracker showed up today! This is the first real big fruit of my "labor" on Instagram; my first brand partnership is with MoFi Electronics!

Yeah, there's a couple posting requirements, but it's mine to keep.

They reached out to me a month or so ago and asked if I would be interested in partnering. Was right around when I hit 5K followers.

It's funny, I never intended to get to this point with instagram, I was just posting pictures that I liked of music I wanted to share. It was just a fun hobby!

Very cool man. No doubt you run a fantastic IG Page for your collection. My vinyl account on Instagram is my favorite use of social media. Great community on there.

It's really why I kept posting in the early days - when I first started I'd get maybe 20 likes on a good day, but a lot of positive interaction and discussion!
