Definitive Audiophile pressings

I'm glad the comments don't seem to faze him as he seems to enjoy what he's doing and must be disheartening to read a few of the comments. His preference in electronic music is welcomed since many YouTubers are inclined with the more popular Jazz/Classic Rock releases. Cheers to Michael.

This is why I enjoy him and Darko, both have an interest in electronic music and ambient which most audiophile reviewers totally ignore. (I still tend to listen to him at 1.5 speed)

Yeah “Boring German Dude” is a bit of a pejorative but I think it has to do more with his monotone delivery. I find his music information to be informative and insightful and that is usually all that I am looking for with YouTube videos of this nature.

 

[Jbraswell]

He should really be the 45 RPM Mono channel

I actually prefer him more than most YouTubers,

I’m a fan, too. He’s laid back but he’s very positive and seems like a normal music lover. None of the faux critic BS. He also buys basically every release of note (including electronic and some indie stuff), so his opinion is better than relying on a random Discogs comment.

Updating my collection on the Cogs today.
Holy shit! I just wanted a clean copy and didn't pay attention to the value
I got this one mint from RCJP for $13 recently.

I was just checking around to see if there's a good pressing out there for Gil Scott-Herons 'Pieces of Man.' That brought me to a thread on the Hoffman forum about it, and apparently they are still working on getting a AAA 50 annv. out for it. Sounds like this fall, and we should see announcements soon.

He's kind of ASMR in a relaxing way when I'm at work to be honest.

Now the question is how many were oversold. Their stock system is so bad - the blurb says “less than 100 copies remain” yet you can add more than 100 to your cart still, and I know about 25 people who have already ordered lol

I do feel like it's more likely that Reckoning ships than Terrapin Station. Kind of glad I inadvertently made two orders because I saw the TS listing and basically smashed buy. I don't want to be in fulfillment hell.

It was also up on Reddit for a bit before hitting sold out, so…I’m betting on some cancellation emails.

Yeah, I'm sure. They're both no shows now, so I'm sure they oversold both.

Ah Well, it’s doesn’t matter much now for me since I went ahead and purchased one off of Discogs for $100 bucks mainly because I was under the impression that MoFi had maxed out that title. As it has been said many times on this thread already. I which they would just have one sales operation as opposed to two (ideally sell all the albums on MoFi via MoFi and everything else from Music Direct) it would make for a more consistent experience.

Yea and another annoying thing others have pointed out—nobody knows when MoFi gets a restock if their back order is guaranteed to ship at Music Direct. It’s very frustrating.

I kind of ignore the sold out/back order designations on the MoFi site. It’s pretty inconsistent there from what I’ve seen. The only thing I really consider as a rule for MoFi is that if it’s not on the MD site anymore (or a crazy price there) it’s out of print.

So I picked up this Rolling Stones El Mocambo 1977 box set this week and I have to agree with boring German dude, this sounds amazingly good.

You fuckers are going to make me buy more records! I had to stop myself from ordering Terrapin Station because I won't be there in a week to receive it (I really want a copy of that, but having to hold back is all good considering AS's shipping to Canada + the Fedex fees). But this should still be around when I get back. Maybe even at a local in Montreal while I'm there.

I had a $20 amazon gift card that made the current price very palatable.

Today I have listened to 3 recent live albums and The Stones ran neck and neck with the Springsteen 1979 No Nukes concert for the top spot. Both were recorded, cut, and pressed exceptionally well. Prince Live is a bit noisy with static (probably needs a good cleaning) and the source recording is a bit rough in parts but the materials on all 3 is expectedly, given the artist; brilliant.

The reviews for the El Mocambo are quite excellent across the board. You're just not helping

I got the colored version. It’s outstanding.

I'm so glad that glass went to you and I can see it periodically while scrolling random threads on N&G.

I can’t thank you enough. It’s a wonderful piece! I love when It catches the sun and beautifully casts red and blue rays across the room.

I do have set the record straight. Racing Range Rovers? Not me man, but wheeling Land Cruisers, yes.

Thanks again for the DSOTM Obi.

This is my LandCruiser

The force is strong here. Haha

Wow! That's awesome! '76 or so? Original drivetrain? OEM top or Pakastani? So many questions and more pics, please! Different thread, maybe?
