Armageddon Shop in Cambridge is really cool. Also if you have discogs on your phone the VinylHub mapping feature is pretty great for finding shops nearby.

 

Dude that is such good info. I’m at work right now but I’ll be back with some questions later. Thanks!

 

Leaving Through the Window is my white whale.

 

$30, I think?

 

Thank you! I know it was a while back but helps me do some mental budgeting.

 

Please do, I love talking shop when it comes to the technical side of this hobby, haha.

 

My white wale is the RL pressing of Led Zeppelin II

Robert Ludwig (RL) pressing of "Led Zep II"

and an “OG” pressing of Appetite for Destruction. I only ever come across modern re-presses of that one.

 

I suppose I could just check discogs, but anyone know if there's an affordable pressing of Sorry About Tomorrow out there? Forever regret selling my copy of The Underground is a Dying Breed

 

I feel like this is the right thread to ask this in. I have an Audio Technica turntable with some pretty awful speakers, so I'm curious if anyone has any recommendations for a decent and affordable speaker set up?

 

What’s your budget?

 

I'm honestly not too sure yet. I'm not trying to break the banks by any means but something decent to make the records sound good?

Is the $100 range too outlandish?

 

I use the R1280DB Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers from Edifier with my Audio Technica turntable and it sounds great. I think they were about $140

 

decent haul today


The show me the body variant is too sick

 

Is that the pre order from their site?

 

Yeah - their site is sold out but the Loma Vista still has (had?) copies

 

Mine hasn’t shipped yet so that’s why I asked!

 

Ah man that’s cheeks - I ordered mine from the LV shop on like the 27th lol

 

Wow haha. I ordered from their site the first day pre orders went live

 

Edifier r1280db are pretty good powered speakers at $150. If you have an amp, the Jamo s803 are what I’m currently using and I like them a lot.

 

My white whale is an intact banana on a clean copy of Velvet Underground & Nico. It's pricey though

 

Yeah if we’re expanding it to stuff like that I want the alt script born to run and a but yeesh I’ll never pay that much

my dad has a zipper version of sticky fingers that’s in great shape….except his dumb 19 year old ass wrote his name in sharpie on the front cover lmao

white whales?

def Everything In Transit (bless you @Craig Manning for the heads up on that amazon link)

there was Everyone Everywhere LP2 which i've been able to snag an OG press and the repress
S*ves the D*y In Reverie which i also found a copy of (for less than $80 too)

the only other records i really want on vinyl that i don't have is probably The Swellers two FBR records. i think i have everything that i really wanted on vinyl now

 

Wasn’t the Everyone Everywhere 2 release originally pay-what-you-want? I have a copy, one of my favorite records

 

now that i have Coloring Book by Glassjaw it's probably The Big Dirty or Second Stage Turbine Blade for me
