I kind of sort of agree, but fuck if Rogue One wasn’t fun as hell.

Coming from 15 years in print production, 140,000 3.375" x 2.125" cards with rounded corners, assuming that we’re looking at either PVC or something in the ballpark of 120# cover / 12pt sbs, and hell I’ll even throw in a lam, printed 4/4 (although more realistically 4/1) has a turn time of about 2 weeks from final…

The marketing department utterly failed by overlooking the obvious Mjölnir edition.

Brokers’ fees were one of the many, many, many reasons I lived in the same apartment, my second, for 12 years before leaving NYC. That’s because my first apartment in NYC was a too good to be true duplex, which was partially held up by a car jack and was marked that it was unoccupied, so if it set fire the directions…

Bad name for good establishment.

It’s terribly specific, but if you’re visiting Washington State, and want to hike, I highly recommend the WTA Trailblazer app.
It seems that REI has similar apps in their Hiking Project and National Park apps, if nature’s your bag.

This sounds more annoying that either Stitcher or Google Play Music’s podcast listings.

I looked this up, and that’s what I was thinking. I, unfortunately, have zero know how in the “properly placing stones” department, and I imagine anyone who does will charge me at least 3 grand, which I don’t currently have lying around.

Horsetails are miserable fucks as well, but I don’t mind them nearly as much as the thorned devil that is blackberry. I wish more of these things were like Spanish bluebell, the weed that actually looks pretty.

Even worse than climbing vines are vining blackberries. We spent 2 full days trying to eradicate them from our property, digging literal feet into the ground to destroy the roots, and they’ve already started coming back. Big, thick, thorny motherfuckers that WILL. NOT. DIE.
I also cared nothing for erosion until I…

This is me, but with old stero gear. My favorite is understanding the difference between “blown” speakers and speakers that need a refoam.

Now I want to know which idler your listening on. I’ve heard that the idle drive tables can have some issues with noise, have you noticed that at all?

Yeah, my favorite thing has been swapping out components and listening to see what changes and how. My budget tends to be low, but that’s led me to learn how to refoam speakers, use a can of deoxit and so on.
I only mention Steely Dan and Daft Punk because Aja and Random Access Memories respectively are the two…

No, you’re certainly a hipster. The number one characteristic of a hipster is being a contrarian who shits on the things that other people enjoy.

Pertinent to this thread / something to freak out new vinyl lovers: I have to install a new cartridge this evening, so I have a Baerwald protractor printed in my bag so I can ensure the alignment and azimuth are correct.

1) I would like to come over and listen to Steely Dan and Daft Punk on your system.
2) It would be awesome to do blind a/b testing (no meters!) on a really high end system and something that was carefully cobbled together from Goodwiill / Craigslist. I’ve been listening on a 40+ year old Marantz system for so long…

Short answer: Yes, use them.
Long answer: In my estimation, while there have been some technological advances in speaker technology, nothing has shifted to the point of rendering old speakers unusable, and I’d argue that for listening to music speakers built around a large woofer, possibly a mid and a tweeter provides…

So a few things to consider. First and foremost, big speakers also sound better at low volumes, and if you want bass, they’ll prevent you from having to set up a subwoofer. Just get some small risers to keep them off the floor and you won’t run into some of the neighbor issues I’ve experienced in a 1 bedroom queens…

definitely don’t cheap out if you care about those old singles and lp’s. You can get a quality used table with a bit of research and some patience on craigslist and it will treat you, your ears and your records much better than some of the alternatives.
