Vinyl Thread • Page 533

anyone know of any plans to press A Static Lullaby records, especially And Don't Forget to Breathe? It's strange I haven't heard anything from them or anyone trying to do it. I thought that was a pretty seminal album from the scene.

 

At an Andrew McMahon show tonight and had the chance to chat to him beforehand. I asked about the SoCo albums getting repressed and he said that’s the plan and it’s currently being worked on, but the label was dragging their feet.

Hoping to see these later this year!

 

thank you for your service

Lights and Sounds vinyl is back in stock for those who missed it before

 

These were purchased almost ten years apart haha

 

Got through that whole album sitting in 5 mph traffic the other day

 

MAIL DAY

 

Word of advice: remove the album from the plastics cover for the photo.

 

One of the greatest pop albums ever. Saw this was already posted in the SG thread but figured I'd drop it here.

I have the Singles collection but definitely need the whole album. Hoping Affirmation is on the horizon shortly!

Savage Garden (White Vinyl)

 

I don't know if there's anyone as stoked as I am about these, but....

Britney Spears - Greatest Hits: My Prerogative (pre-order, out March 31)
Britney Spears - In The Zone (pre-order, out March 31)

Britney, Circus, Femme Fatale, and Blackout are also getting re-pressed and coming out the same day. Looks like SRC is also doing Oops I Did It Again and Baby One More Time.

 

*N 'Sync self titled is getting a 25th anniversary press.

Lots of big 90s pop jams getting repressed/first press. I'm pretty stoked ngl.

 

Are these 90s/00s pop pressings going to sound good on vinyl? Or are they just going to be the digital versions pressed?

 

VERY excited.

I almost caved in and paid $180 recently for self titled

 

id imagine the latter

 

All of Rihanna's albums are up for pre-order on Urban Outfitters

 

I am broke broke now after pre-ordering Britney's discography

Question for the thread: How do you know when you need to change your needle? I'm jamming some Mastodon right now and it's sort of fading in and out - not sure if that's a needle issue but I also think it sounds a little too messy. Any recommendations?

 

Grimey’s coming through. Both used.

 

U-Turn is stumped as to why my new turntable has a loud hum .

 

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know a lot about the technical side of things, but maybe someone here who does can help? What's your full set up?

 

Orbit TT to Fosi Audio Box 2 into Edifier R1280T. There was no hum with my shitty old turntable into the same setup. Touching the tonearm makes it way louder, touching the ground screw on the preamp makes it quieter. They're reluctant to say it's a grounding issue but it sounds like one to me. Tried different RCAs and it seemed worse. No buzz when RCAs aren't plugged into the preamp, very loud when plugged into the preamp but not into the table.

 

I’ve always been told as a rule of thumb to just do it if you notice the sound is consistently distorting more than you’re used to, but haven’t heard anything about a volume issue like that. Could be a tube issue though if your receiver uses those. If you know what kind of needle you have, you may be able to find a recommended spin count or something online — hopefully you’ve been counting every single album you’ve ever played and how many times you’ve played them, as one does

 

Can't say I'm an expert with this still but since recently purchasing the Pro-Ject X2 and having a preamp for the first time. I ran into the same issue. It was definitely a grounding issue after fiddling around with the grounding wire to the TT.
