Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

the only one i know is nnamdi, and only because they put out the first nnamdi record and it had a hilarious cover. i'm liking the samba the great though. not enough to drop 35 on it, but i'm streaming her other stuff.

I saw Sampa The Great when she opened for Noname several years ago (maybe before she even had an album out) and she was electric! Such a fantastic performance, my fiancee liked her more than Noname and we hadn't heard of her before then.

Brat wasn't his first, but i think the first to really reach the masses. I got on with Drool, which was the album before but I remember even then his Bandcamp had something like a dozen plus releases on it - granted mayhaps many/all/most were more mixtape than album, I don't really know the difference anymore!

He's also collaborated with Winnipeg indie band Royal Canoe on their last two albums, which is kinda cool.

Regardless of semantics, Nnamdi is awesome and I'm way excited for the new one!

Yeah his features have been great on those albums.

Love Sampa, too. Gonna pass on this one though and wait for a wide release. There’s also a cheaper variant up on UO right now.

I need to revisit Brat and Drool. I gave them a shot a few years ago but it didn’t click for me. I’ve found Nnamdi’s stuff for much cheaper though on bandcamp and locally too (Chicago).

I’ll have to check out the Hudson Mohawke album. I’ve liked some of the stuff he’s produced for GOOD, but I’ve never heard a full project from him.

But I’m picking up that mejiwahn for sure though. Love that sound and I doubt that’s getting a bigger pressing.

Late to the party, but Spirit in the Dark is even better than I expected. It’ll probably be on sale again bc they pressed so many, but definitely worth it at any price.

cosign, they're really batting 1000 when it comes to the soul / r&b stuff

I just suggested this on another forum, but if you don't need the network features at all, and you can get by just running a computer into the DAC, I'd keep an eye out for a Marantz Ruby DAC/SACD player. That unit is next level. You'll be done for a long time unless you just dislike the Marantz house sound.

I know this is responding to an old post - but I move at glacial pace with my upgrades right now, work has kept me away from home and largely out of country for, oh, about the last two years....any way, I just ordered a Marantz SA-KI Ruby SACD/CD from MD. They've got them on clearance for the same price ($3K) as the SACD 30N (I don't really see any other places carrying the Ruby's and they were advertised as limited in number so I'm assuming deadstock at this point).

In reality, I really wanted the best SACD/CD player in my price range. Second, the bluetooth and WIFI capability. I don't really care about the streaming from different providers (I don't have any Tidal, Spotify, Pandora, etc.)

To supplement the BT/WIFI cape that I'm not getting with the Ruby, I'm gonna get a cheapo Audioengine BT RX that is advertised as having a 100FT range. My PC in my office should be more than close enough (even with walls) to send my large digital library on my PC to my stereo (ok, it's not WIFI but it will produce the same result).

Anyway, thought I'd follow up on this ancient discussion.

Edit: I also hear Marantz is raising its prices so I expect the SACD 30n to go up in price soon.

If there are walls involved, do not be surprised if that 100ft range is more limited than expected. I would be very surprised if someone hasn't done some sort of raspberry pi custom image for exactly this type of setup. (But I personally don't know of any since I haven't had call to look for one myself)

Yes, I know that walls will affect it. But I have a comp BT set up in another part of my house where I can walk through all parts of my house pretty much unaffected. Even going out to the garage with the door closed only causes intermittent drops from my BT headphones.
 
Swapped for credit last month and thinking about using the credits to buy one of the Jazz Dispensary titles. Last time they did JD exclusives I grabbed Purdie and Idris, both of which I like a lot. Which of the current batch is a must-have that preferably leans funky?
