Fun game of is a crackle/distortion noise being caused by: receiver (most likely), year + old stylus (possibly), dirty vinyl, vintage speaker just dying.
I'm going to have a Daft Punk Alive 2007/1997 box set with slightly warped but still sounds fine (to my system at least) discs for sale in the next day or two. Still figuring out a fair price but, forum gets first dibs and will be the best price before I go to my local/reddit.
Just signed up for a new kind of savings account that gives you weekly lottery tickets for every $25 you have in it. So if I ever feel like playing the real lottery I can just put the money in savings and maybe win there. Hitting all 7 numbers is a $10Million prize and 6/7 is a Tesla Model 3. If anyone is interested feel free to comment message. Of course, they have a referral.
My reddit secret santa sent me a bunch of stuff that ended up being way over the $20 limit but they sent me the deluxe Song Machine season 1 which I own. So I have to return it. I had mentioned my discogs account so they could have checked. Oh well. I asked them to reach out so I could use the credit for music they recommend. I hope they do.
