Where's the grill cover?

Yeah man - never knew you were into MBV. I’ve got the newish AAA cut and mastered isn’t anything and loveless done directly by Kevin Shields, you would appreciate them

Probably not

Maybe this is a good time to repurpose the T3 design into a phono stage #wishfulthinking

You’re right! Wow, never knew how popular the chair was truly. It really is very elegant looking and super comfy.

I went with IKEA ?‍♂️ it was cheap enoughand actually passed the WAF! Very comfy, and very non-ikea looking. Has a slight rock to it too which I like.

Good ole ikea!

Nope, back as of now is good. But you make a great point, I should try it out first for sure.

My budget is probably closer to the fake eames lol

That’s a nice looking and comfy chair man, sweet. Never really gave the z chair style a second look but that crate and barrel one has my interest piqued.

Hi! id love for anyone to share pics and recs of some quality listening chairs. I’ve been using an old wood rocker which actually isnt too bad, but it’s a bit of a family heirloom piece and I should get my ass out of it. As I’ve been looking, the search has been harder than I thought - I’m looking for an armchair but most I’ve found are so bulky they would just dominate the room. Many nice chairs seem to be made for dining table sets or kitchen tables which look odd. I would say I like the mid century style the most but know those can get pricey. Something classy but not bulky, definitely wanting something on the sleeker side but hopefully still comfy. My listening room isn’t huge (maybe 20 deer across the long way), and it shares with the fireplace, two couches on adjacent walls, as well as the TV, space is somewhat at a premium.

Happy belate biggie! Hope 36 is starting off great

Gilliab Welch Harrow and the Harvest on vinyl. Not really into the whole folk/minimal thing but got this on recommendation and it’s fantastic. Sound quality is exquisite - Gillian essentially started up her on label specifically to cut and master the lacquer directly from the analog tape to her specifications, it’s incredible.

Could also be that the ghost is born is legit great sound quality. Pallas pressed and Kevin Gray cut, the thing has screaming dynamics. My YHF is whatever digitally sourced reissue from a few years ago

Wilco - Ghost is Born what a great album, dare I say I prefer it over yankee hotel foxtrot

Isn’t anything

ordered both loveless and isn’t anything vinyl bundle from the bands website direct, these are the recent AAA all analog transfers from the master tapes.

Ah, cozymels, the big place right off of butterfield, yeah we’ve been there before lol. It’s a nice affordable Mexican place with ambiance. I prefer the holes in the wall, we’ve got one right by the house here I’ll take you to next time your in the area and loaning me gear lol.

What was the Mexican place in wheaton? I could have swore I hit them all up in our area

Hope you had a great one!

Ortofon FTW

What a disaster lol. But apparently the Japanese company is still selling them at 15k a pop!

Yah. I mean it makes absolutely no sense. Maybe you get the noise floor a little bit lower? And maybe I guess you technically can squeeze in a little more dynamic range? For whatever those gains are, I think the fidelity loss due to all the extraneous conversions is totally not worth it. With that said, digitally sourced vinyl can sound good, such as when they use a hi-res digital copy of the original analog tape and use that copy for the stamper, but the whole HD vinyl thing is wacky to say the least.
