it's pretty disappointing that it's 2022 and we still don't have good reissues of Funkadelic. It's crazy how bad the new one sounds even compared to streaming.Just to let everyone know, new stylus in, same issue. Definitely the press, as all my other alignment and setup is taken care of. @Mather you were totally right about that Maggot Brain lol
Thanks everyone for your quick help and quelling of my fears! Super thankful for y’all

The Tidal stream ain't too bad actually.. Was kinda surprised. Not high res but still not bad.

I ended up getting a high res rip of a white label promo and the 2005 Ace reissue, both of which sound miles better than the new pressing. they make the new one sound like it was recorded underwater.

Hey guys, has anyone ever had a twisted cantilever? I definitely do, and am sending my new stylus back. VM95ML from Amazon.

Yep I've seen one on a 2M Bronze. In fact it's sitting in a drawer in my cabinet right now.

Dang. Thanks. I always have my girlfriend double check with her eyes to prove I am not crazy, and even this time she noticed.

Managed to get a picture yesterday with my phone! It’s obvious, right?

Woof, that's hard to tell. It looks like it might be but I can see so little of the cantilever, and even if the camera was slightly off centre it could create that effect. I mean I believe you that it's crooked but it's pretty hard to tell from that angle. Is it possible to see the whole cantilever?

OMG I WANT THIS SO BAD YOU GUYS.
Vintage Thorens TD 124 MKII with a custom teak plinth and Jelco 850M 10" tonearm (not as pictured, but that's what it comes with)
Now I'm not certain that just tossing a second tonearm into the new plinth would actually keep with the geometry of how these things are supposed to work BUT THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT WAAAAAANT

Yeah my big turntable want is some form of technics sp10 (I’m not super rich so likely a reconditioned mkII rather than the current r) on a fully wooden, likely walnut, plinth just like that!

the two tonearms would work well. people often do that so you can have a mono cart on one and stereo on the other.
i love the vintage thorens tables with upgrades.
i don't know if Vinyl Nirvana still makes tables, but he's one of the best to restore them and makes really beautiful tables.
