Awaiting the head to head of the UD!

Psyched to hear what you think about Dookie!

If it makes you feel better, the signal path from the turntable into the amp is all analog - is that right, @Nee Lewman? Room correction processing in the amp, and I assume it's not doing headphone correction/flattening as well, the headphone out is sans-processing?

Didn't know you had 2 more loaded arm wands! Amazing. You're all in.

As do I. Guttenberg gave it two thumbs up as well. The only downside is that it’s made you-know-where.

A fun flip, and a hell of a cover! Haha. Definitely noticing a difference in turntables this year - more direct drive in general, and more of that aesthetic for sure. Technics certainly seems to be driving the market now that they're firmly back in biz.

And I totally agree with this! So much in fact, that I went and played it on my StudioDeck with microline stylus, which tracked it MUCH better. Didn't skip once. However - further into the side it went, there was some audible distortion on the louder horn stabs, which honestly I have NEVER heard...

Yep, this exactly. Summed it up more eloquently than I could!

Dreadful here! I do wonder if it just depends on where in the stamper your copy ends up.

Many, many skipping grooves. Made it to about halfway through the second cut on side B and pulled the plug - I mean, lifted the arm!

Got it comped - all's well that ends well!

Yeah baby - just plow that thing through!! And the reviews on Discogs appear to have become a pissing contest of who's system can track it without skips. Nope! I'll save my stylus, thanks!

Brutally bad on side B. Completely unlistenable. Usually it's low end that'll pop a stylus out like that, but it's the top end of the horns on this one. Youch.

Picture Of Heath - yikes. The reviews weren't wrong. This is a disaster, should have absolutely been re-cut. Kind of insane they're still selling it like this.

It's always been super easy to get a refund or exchange for any pressing defect from uDiscover, but they recently hired on a third party insurance company, and it took me - I kid you not - over TWENTY emails to explain to a rep that I cannot photograph a warp that affects playback. I did...

“4 LPs for MAXIMUM FIDELITY HIGHLY REXOMMENDED” ::Chad voice::

You know, I've got a Play 5 out there as well. That was my initial thought with this, but I've been enjoying headphones in general more lately.

For anyone interested in my weird Bluetooth transmitter quest - ended up going with this Auris BluMe Duo. I have a converted garage that serves as my office, studio, and small home gym. I have a StudioDeck out there, and wanted to be able to spin some LPs through Bluetooth headphones while...

Well said. I love this one.

I'm in the same boat. When I take a breath and a step back from my systems and say ok, what's wrong with what you're hearing? The answer is pretty much universally nothing at this point. I have a pretty good understanding of how further dampening works in systems and what that yields sonically...
