Quality pressings was like the one thing VMP could consistently do, even if they were pricey. Ultimately that’s why their demise is sad because it means the market has one less reissue label that for the most part gave a crap about sound quality for however terrible they were at business and...

I believe so from what I have seen. The bundles with the LP are still available at Craig Finn's website.

I’ve read a number of these (most in college) and here are my thoughts: Thomas Hardy. I liked Tess of the d’Urbervilles. It’s fairly readable as I found most Hardy is - at least compared to a lot of the other modern British literature I read in college. I remember liking Jude the Obscure as...

As a big Dead fan, I have spent inordinate sums of money on unique items. A fancy version of a readily available canonical album is not one of those. If they put Dave’s Picks 5 out on vinyl, now we are talking.

It has sold out. Wow.

If anyone is looking for the Cherry Tree Rome, I have one at cost in the For Sale section.

No rescinding our trade!

Yeah, Williams is an injury risk. I think it works for both of us. And if it doesn’t, I’m already at the bottom of the standings.

That A side will be real nice, the B side is a big no to me. 2 Bobby Cowboy songs, followed by Easy Wind and Big Railroad Blues? Feels like 1st set hell.

I have a GR and agree with this. I’d need to go to the $4-5k tables before I’d think about upgrading and it has some nice flexibility to it

This was me when I kicked around that Creem deal to return to this shit show, but I was like I’m getting 3 albums I’d only pay 10-15 bucks for and then what would the other 6 be? And if ANOHNI is too big for VMP (no shade intended), what would I be getting with those other 6 records for around...

It just speaks of how next to impossible getting anything of note for the tracks going forward.

Ouch.

I ordered mine from Tube Depot and they have the option to do balanced on their tubes and seem comparable in price to your deal.

Since it has been six years on the tube, I’d probably try that since it is a relatively cheap thing to try. I know I’d always turn the phono on first as that’s what the instructions say.

For some information, I was the prior owner of this unit and replaced the tube in 2019. It is: Electro-Harmonix 12AU7 EH Preamp Vacuum Tube Low Noise & Microphonics: $4.00 x 1 Balanced Triodes: $2.00 x 1

I would say as to the negativity that there is a little bit of schadenfreude to it based off of how VMP has treated its loyal customer base over the years (I don’t need to go into this forum’s origin story). But more importantly, I think the perspective that a lot of us have is important in...

But then they can’t get a quick influx of cash for the new albums and send old stock to those who wait
