    Fitness!

    Because of the holidays, LA fires, and a chest cough that keeps cycling through my family members since October, I haven’t been able to do much consistent exercise or lifting BUT I have been eating better and I lost 12-14 pounds over the last few months. Most of the better eating and weight...

    Cassette recommendations?

    If you haven’t already, check out the Fii0 CP13 portable player. AFAIK, almost all new players are building their models around the same basic interior parts that are below the quality of past players during cassette’s original run as a popular medium but people seem happy with the quality of...

    N&G Secret Santa 2024

    I have a lot of other things in need of my attention this holiday season so I’m going to be responsible and not sign up. Also, I still don’t know who my Santa was last year. It looks like it’ll be a forever mystery.

    Sounds Delicious

    I think about this subscription every 6-9 months and I re-live the excitement/disappointment every time. Lol.

    The National

    BTW I thought the bright eyes comment was made in jest regarding Oberst actually being in bad shape at shows and didn’t realize Matt actually is on a new BE song. So my Jane’s Addiction reference makes less direct sense in hindsight.

    All jokes aside, Matt attacking Dave Navarro is a call for help.

    The National

    Post-2020 fandom has been really odd all over. It feels like going on TikTok or online to break some news or controversy is part of the concert going experience for some people? Like did people actually believe he was drunk and rambling all night or are they consciously trying to stir the pot...

    New ultrasonic vinyl cleaner in the works: Humminguru

    Do you think, in order to use this hovering anti-static platter apparatus, I need to remove the futuristic tiny leaf blower that affixes to my spindle and technologically removes dust and microscopic detritus from my vinyl records while playing?

    If you take that thing apart, it’s just an empty shell containing a robot finger repeatedly pressing the trigger on a Zerostat gun.

    U-Turn Turntables - Discussion, questions and advice.

    I bought my turntable from them 9 years ago and, the 2-3 times an issue has come up, they’ve sent me free parts that are easy to install. Would buy again.

    Final update: U-Turn sent me a new mount and spindle, which I installed, and the platter is now flat and spins with zero wobble. #success

    No idea. I turned on the table again an hour later and bad wobble is back.

    I took the spindle piece off and put it back on and the wobble persisted. But then I just sort of wiggled the platter a few times and I noticed the wobble went away. I have no idea why but I have an updated video in that folder of post-wiggle, no-wobble vinyl playing for anyone interested.

    Thanks. I’m getting bad wobble on both sides of the platter. Hopefully their CS can solve for me!
