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

So they're doing color variants of them....
Wonder if there's anything else special.

Edit: Just looked at what those are and I'm very whelmed. I guess that Charles Bradley would be nice to have. Maybe explosions.

They are all supposedly getting the VMP treatment--new cuts, sleeves, etc.

I just spent like $300 on a Google Home max because I was tired of listening to vinyl in one room, so why not do the whole home?

This way I guess I won't be overwhelmed by "what should I listen to" since I won't buy anything at these prices.

Back on the topic of vinyl prices.

Shit like this is definitely going to curb my vinyl spending. Absolute lunacy.

The insane pricing of vinyl recently couldn’t come at a more perfect time for me. I’m committed to culling some of my collection and buying significantly less in 2023. Shit like this just makes it SO much easier.

FTS. Glad I purchased a nice steaming device last year. This kind of lunacy will curve my habit big time.

Last year I got a nice DAC for my main setup (the Denafrips Ares II) and got Roon + Qobuz which kinda replaces a VMP membership for about the same price or less now every month. Use it all the time.

The Ikea sonos are actually pretty great and cheap too. We put those in a few rooms in our house. Think the bookshelf ones are $99 and Ikea makes cheap stands for them as well.

A large majority of my vinyl purchases now are used copies (or boomboom reissues haha).

just caught up on discord:

They'll have Essentials obis, and in a couple cases, remastered. Depends on if band/artist wanted us to remaster tbh. All will be on exclusive color.

Yesss, come over to the darkside

The Dark Side; Digital audio equipment recommendations and setup.

Yes, this is a vinyl orientated forum, Yes, the bulk of hardware discussions are going to revolve around analogue hardware and this is the way things should be. But... It's foolish to suggest that digital isn't a useful part of our audio systems and that some prudent purchasing decisions can...
