    A Road Well Traveled…My System Journey…Completed?

    We've had a similar turntable journey, albeit backwards. My first big system purchase was a Vinyl Nirvana'fied Thorens TD-147 (love me an auto-lifter). If it weren't for the floors in my early 1900's place, I would've kept it forever. Went searching for a nice DD afterwards and ended up with a...

    Always fun when music lands on your doorstep that feels like it'll fit right in, but comes with zero association upon first glance. This is a great record club @Yer Ol' Uncle D - thanks again!

    Online Vinyl Deals

    Any deals on Whiplash mailers out there, or are they pretty set in stone as a direct to consumer brand? If any Coloradans are reading this and want to split a larger order with me, drop me a line!

    Just got a FaceTime from my crew out there... trying to keep the fomo at bay while I wait for Dicks. Gonna have to find a stream or two this weekend! Edit: Apparently they're going to be streaming their sets on the Bunny (direct link). I call that a win!

    Our Mutual Friend is a favorite, and if you're there midday, excellent BBQ next door at Pit Fiend.

    The Blue Note Thread

    They definitely are, or at least they are to my ears. I picked up The All Seeing Eye and Andrew Hill's Judgement from the same series in a collection a few years ago, both sound wonderful.

    Wax Trax is my personal favorite record store, but best selection in Denver probably goes to Recollect Records. In Boulder, choices are a bit slimmer. Paradise Found records is a solid spot on Pearl street. For food, my favorite brunch spot is Stowaway in Denver. Also, check out ESP Hifi...

    Tonearm recommendations, thoughts, favorites?

    Got a good deal on a Nagaoka MP500, we'll see how it goes! Waiting on 2 final pieces for the plinth (patience is truly a virtue after a year+ of waiting).

    Ah when tastes overlap! Whenever you've got some time, would love a few suggestions from you in the same vein as those two.

    Fresh Grabs

    My local has bought 2 really incredible collections over the last few months. One was some harder to find rock, country, and jazz, most in solid shape but all clearly had been loved by the previous owner. Coltrane, Mingus, Love, Robert Johnson, Willie and Bobbie all came from that collection...

    This (almost 12”) Micro Seiki MA-505L is going on a Technics SP10 mkii that’s almost ready for the green light.

    The Blue Note Thread

    They're at or slightly below Discogs comps, mostly 70s pressings of classic albums - all blue labels. Every one that I wanted had a recent TP/Classics version, so I stuck with the Impulse titles (Mingus - Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, Coltrane - Coltrane) that I didn't have for now.

    The Blue Note Thread

    Broad question but figured y’all might have some perspective. My local just got a solid jazz collection in, Blue notes, riverside, impulse, etc. What must have Blue Notes haven’t been reissued in the classics/tone poet series?

    Phono Cartridges - Your favorites and least favorites?

    I’ve got an MP-500 that’ll be mounted soon. Reviews to come, although I’ve spent much of the last few years with the Shure v15 series so no comps with the Bronze.

    Discogs - Help, Tricks, Secrets And Tips

    Anyone ever have a pressing that seems to have runouts/matrix/labels attributes from multiple releases on Discogs, but none quite match? All are clearly from the same year, just slight variations - probably not enough to create a new release, just the first time I've seen this in my years of...

    Phono Cartridges - Your favorites and least favorites?

    I’m wrapping up a full rebuild and custom plinth on an end game turntable, I figured why not go all out?

    Phono Cartridges - Your favorites and least favorites?

    Anyone have a 12” tonearm and found a successful pairing or two? About to upgrade to a Micro Seiki MA-505L so taking suggestions.
