Any insight on the Allen Toussaint preorder?

I’m excited to get it. When I was looking for things to use my VMP credit on I streamed his album and really liked it. I’m a jazz noob so I’m just learning about him and his amazing career. He now has a couple of Guinness world records for oldest person to release a debut album and oldest person...

I picked my April record and used most of my credit to pick up the Marshall Allen album which is listed as in stock. I just kept it as my normal bundled shipping so they should both ship with the April shipment. 🤞

According to the latest comment on Discord swaps are open again and with a larger selection. Who knows what’s going on with the VMP site. I envision one poor tech guy trying to keep the site active. What a rollercoaster ride this is!

It seems odd to me that someone bothered to fix the preview link a few days ago if they were going to shut it all down today.

Thanks for the heads up! I renewed for 12 months back in August before the price increase and stayed in after the format change so I’m still a member! Maybe one of the few left🤷🏻‍♂! The fact that the link was fixed and works this morning and my March selection and test pressing has been...

I'm interested in February's Coltrane so I'm considering signing up on a monthly basis as others have done. However while I was on their site I found this version of the same album on sale. Unfortunately it doesn't give any information about the pressing details. I'm curious if anyone knows...

Welcome Wendy! Like you, I found this site when I was researching for my MoFi Ultradeck which I purchased almost a year ago. I've been enjoying both this site and my Ultradeck and I'm sure you will too!

I just started looking into the HG again ( in case my wife needs any gift ideas for my upcoming birthday!) and I see that Turntable Lab is selling them here in the states. I have no experience with them but at least it takes the guesswork out of the shipping/customs fees...

https://shop.jjgrey.com/products/country-ghetto-lp JJ Grey & Mofro’s 2007 album ‘Country Ghetto’ is being released on viny for the first time. I hadn’t heard about this band a month ago but I’ve been listening to, and enjoying, this album and their 2008 album ‘Orange Blossoms‘ on Spotify. It’s...

I’ve been reading this thread with a lot if interest and just subscribed to it. I use a SpinClean but I’ve been interested in a ultrasonic cleaner but not the high cost of them. The HG hits a great price point which is why I’m following this thread. I found this YouTube video posted a few...

Well “I did a thing” as I’ve seen many other members on this site say! I've been hanging out here for the past several weeks while I was searching for a new turntable. The one that was on the top of my wish list was the Mofi Ultradeck. The Stereophile Rankings: Recommended Components 2022...

The Soundsmith cartridge works great and gave my old B&O new life! They also rebuild the original B&O cartridges. I did find a company in Germany that rebuilds B&O cartridges which might be a good alternative since your in Europe however I assume you’ve moved on to a different table. In any case...

Hi, I recently joined as well. My name is Don and I’m from the Chicago area. I just recently found your forum and decided to join up. I’ve been searching and reading several posts over the past couple of weeks. I found Needles and Grooves while I’ve been searching for a new turntable. I’m...
