    i dunno if i should wishlist the bob dylan mono set (i mean the problem is i dont want every single record on there, only was into the big albums like highway 61, blonde on blonde, and bringing it all back home), or just buy individually the albums i want (and if i have the job money a premium version)

    Not sure if you mean MoFis or whatever by premium versions but these pressings are all incredible. I think you only recently got into Dylan but there's a good chance the other albums will grow on you over time, too. The mono box truly is fantastic.

    I'm honestly embarassed I used to watch NC's videos seeing how bad it's gotten. The total lack of self awareness is astounding... it becomes more and more clear every year that his technical ability is too limited to make videos that consist of anything more than him sitting in front of wall reviewing a movie

    he tries too hard to not just sit in front of a wall now

    to the point its embarassing

    That may be my favorite too, though I'm not a Dylan fanatic either (I "only" have a half dozen of his records). "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" is killer.

    Definitely a good pick. I like the acoustic/rock split on that record. And I feel like he was really entering his songwriting peak around the time of that album.

    why doesn't kranky discount shipping if you buy multiple albums on bandcamp
    wokeupnew
    wokeupnew
    I think that’s more of a bandcamp policy than kranky. However if you emailed them separately I bet they’d discount you. Kranky is still really independent, a little bit aloof but top notch customer service
    duke86fan
    duke86fan
    but bandcamp if you buy multiple albums from the same artists you get a significant discount on shipping the 2nd album (it will add like 1 or 2 dollars to ship instead of 5)

    so i just wondered why kranky hasn't done that thing

    how do the sleeve city outer sleeves work for bigger gatefolds... because my major problem is the gatefolds

    @TheMythOfSisyphus the biggest boxset i have right now is dusters capsule losing orbit and thom yorkes anima and most of my albums are gatefolds and at least one non gatefold 3LP
    T
    TheMythOfSisyphus
    Same answer. 2.5 Sleeve City are gonna satisfy most of what it seems you need then pick up from there. I have the TY Anima and baggy fit is perfect
    duke86fan
    duke86fan
    ok... so a sleeve city bag will even handle THICC gatefolds

    got it

    what will VMP blame on people for motown not selling out?

    “Lack of awareness” of Motown, which not gonna lie, I fall into that category.

    I saw Storf say on reddit a while back that exclusives done by female artists don't sell as well and thought it was an odd statement.

    What?

    @Dead C haven't listened to a lot of tribe nor do i have any other examples of his productions besides some work on illmatic and even then i dont really see illmatic as as perfect as everyone else does (some of the choruses are kinda meh)

    so aparently tidal is not even really lossless because their MQA stuff is actually lossy (and DRM)

    looks like staying on spotify

    Unless you have a pretty impressive (read: expensive) rig and ears in the top 1% you aren’t hearing an improvement anyway. I can’t tell a difference on most songs with my DAC + cans, so Spotify it is for me. YMMV

    Well yeah you are staying on Spotify! JQBX!

    I've been testing out Qobuz on a free trial and it sounds great but the monthly price is a bit much and they don't quite have as much music as Apple Music or Spotty has.

    (apparently my ATH-M50s are "for mixing" and not for heavy listening), what (closed back) headphones should i buy once i have a job

    Then focus on that instead of what cans to buy.

    i dunno if i'll need a DAC.. my headphones aren't that powerful and i dunno if i could hear the difference

    i know the first VMP essential.. but not its name.. it was kinda like J dilla but much more chill and it had a kind of sandy area as its cover... i think... i just remember that was the first one that happened and as someone who owns the 2nd one the more fascinated i am
