@endo Love to hear your breathing life into your records again. That’s what they’re made for after all!

I may not be very helpful as my collection is predominantly jazz (alphabetical - record label, last name, album) with a sprinkle of soul/RnB/CityPop/Dub & Reggae ( alphabetical - genre, last name, album)

[endo]

Thanks @J-IV and cool your‘e sorting them by label, that seems to be significant in Jazz.

I had an intense period with Jazz to which I‘m regularly coming back once in a while. Still own most of Miles albums (plus saw him live in Paris 1987), and got a nice little collection of Blue Note releases from the late 80s/early 90s.

@endo Hearing/seeing Miles must have been wild! The late 80s/90s BN had some hidden gems - Joe Henderson, McCoy Tyner, Lovano, and Tony Williams has a bunch of output if I remember correctly.

CityPop

A genre I'd like to become more familiar with ever since hearing the LITA compilations

[J-IV]

LITA comps are great! Love the artwork too. They do capsule releases on the artist here and there and that’s where a bulk of collection in the genre come from. Easier to find the music via streaming too

LP‘s with an OBI are something special, aren’t they @68degreesorless ?

[68degreesorless]

@Aetas Yes! It’s grown on me a lot. Now I see the beauty aesthetically. I think it could also be a bit of Pavlov situation given the quality of the sound within. This one is no exception.

Conditioning is underrated @68degreesorless !

Since we don’t have an equipment thread, is the best place to rant? My project debut carbon evo turntable had a screw on the tonearm lift come loose on Sunday. Big design flaw, the whole tonearm assembly has to be removed in order to retighten the screw. I’ve had it less than 9 months. There are only 2 repair shops in Columbus and it’s $85 min bench fee and 4-6 week turnaround time. To. Tighten. A. Screw.

So after I dropped it off at repair shop, I bit the bullet and ordered the upgrade I’ve been eyeing, a mofi ultradeck w/ ultratracker cart. Luckily got an open box special. I’m too deep into this hobby right now to sit on the sidelines for 4-6 weeks. Plus now that I know what a pain these TTs are to get serviced, it’ll be good having a backup on hand. Feeling a bit guilty for the large unplanned spend, angry/disappointed at the project design flaw (otherwise it’s been a great table with really good sound for a noob like me) and supply/demand imbalance in the repair market, and excited for the upgrade all at once.

Hope you get what you hope for!

A good day can end with Leonard!

It was great to communicate with you @GraemeE about Bohren.
So you know what I found .
I’ve hidden this two for you

Thanks @endo for your kind words a few days ago 🫶.

[GraemeE]

@Aetas I think you came out ahead in the end but I have no doubt Bohren will make its way onto your shelf at some point.

[Aetas]

@GraemeE
Shure you will even but some more on yours .
You are free to choose between the following payment options…

[GraemeE]

@Aetas I would love to (and will at some point) own all of those.
I would however like to remain married.....so I'll need to leave some time between purchases

@Aetas thank you

This one's a bit all over the place but has some great moments
