KILZ FILLZ Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Im wondering if my audio issues are because I did a bad job aligning my cartridge and stylus. That would explain sound only coming out of one channel right?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat ralphy Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 My VMP subscription is just enough to keep me from buying excessive vinyl. This month was a nice Grateful Dead LP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim540 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) To keep. You pay a monthly subscription fee. I did it around 8 years ago because that was only was the only way to get a Hum's second album on vinyl at the time.

fat ralphy Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 @KILZ FILLZ each month there are 4 tracks that have a new album. Hip Hop Essentials Country Classics I am currently subscribed to the Hip Hop track - so monthly they will send me whichever album is from that track. You have a time frame in which you can swap the album of that month for any of the other tracks or something from their store section (past releases) VMP does press up some dope shit, there are some quality control issues from time to time but customer service is great. The new record every month helps me keep my fix because at points in the past I have been spending hundreds a week on vinyl. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Any of you guys have Discogs accounts? such a good tool for collecting.

I wouldn't be to thrilled to get a Dead album in the mail but that's just me. I think they all special or limited edition pressings as well. This was also back in 2014. I only did it for 3 months. They publish the record of the month that they're shipping out to everyone. First was Hum - You'd Prefer an Astronaut which was the only reason I signed up. Second was War On Drugs - Lost in the Dream Third was an album from a group called Sisyphus or something spelling like that. Never heard of them. I traded that one at a record swap.

grim540 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) So this covers vinyl and nerd shit so some folks may find it interesting. I'm a big believer in coming up with overly complex and unnecessary solutions to non existent problems to learn something new. My current 'problem' at the time was that the turntable is in the opposite side of the house of where we spent the most time hanging out. I had a couple raspberry pi's laying around the house so what I came up with is a way to have anything that was connected to the home wifi would be able to able to stream whatever is currently playing on the turntable. I had a spare touch screen monitor so I took a shot at building a dedicated media player thing in the garage that could play music or videos. (after 3 years I should probably finish it) Then the pandemic hit and we got sent home for a month so I decided to put the thing on the internet and did pandemic radio for a few months for friends and coworkers.

fat ralphy Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 @grim540 thats rad - probably 10 times cheaper than running Sonos speakers. That said it is nice having my sonos set up and getting that whole house sound….. Some of you guys are crafty as fuck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim540 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) @fat ralphythanks dude. I built the very first iteration of it before Sonos was a thing. Those assholes probably owe me some money. 😄 Sonos are great. I bought some sonos speakers for my wife's business.

fat ralphy Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) @grim540 definitely- but they are fucking pricey. Sound quality is pretty good though. My homie died a couple years ago, dude had it together and I ended up inheriting 4 sonos speakers and a sound bar from him. I bought my Pro-Ject table as a package with a Sonos. I got a sonos sound bar for my bedroom and so now I have a pretty good set up throughout the house.
