Yeah, I think the obi only comes on the Japanese one.

I haven’t noticed anything off on mine. Does the 7” adapter slow it down by 2% by chance? :slight_smile:

The only issue I have with mine is that occasionally I get slightly warped vinyl that is a bit wonky because you don’t have any tone arm adjustments (I miss my Technics). Other than that I love mine.

I finally found a local second hand Technics that seems to be just the right tool for the job.
Direct drive, fully automatic with quartz lock, 150 bucks.

Now getting into buying vinyls. Nobody told me that it’s so expensive and many are hard to find :laughing:

What’s your hunting strategy? Online store, eBay, vinyl shops?
I’m in Europe.

For out of print and harder to find stuff I use discogs. I also have my entire collection logged on discogs so I don’t buy duplicates and have records for insurance. I try to buy new directly from the artists and labels whenever possible. Bandcamp or the artist’s website. Ngl, amazon has a surprising amount of classics.

Didn’t even think about that :man_facepalming:
But most of what I want is out of print unfortunately.
I’ll go slow but try to get the few nice records I really enjoy.

So far I can tell that getting a TT led me to listen music properly again and rediscover lot of good tracks.

Can anybody recommend places in Switzerland to buy/order vinyl? Bonus points if it’s in Basel. Cheers.

There is a video from Superbooth 2025 – Sonic State Video that goes into some of the nitty gritty.

This obviously is not for record production, besides one copy, but for that it seems a great option. You will need to add a considerable amount of gear to this and you need to get into some of the detail of doing a cutting, so this is not for everyone, but if you want to create your own “vinyl” for performance sort of things, here you go.

Here’s an example cut :

Heaven is a Junkyard got me through a lot of shenanigans (family deaths) in 2023. Solid record. :ok_hand:

Sorry to hear that. I love the album, Rarely Do I Dream is hitting even harder for me with all of that family tape nostalgia.

Discogs is great. Local Vinylshops, and for fun of course pawnshops and flea markets. Quite an experience finding a long searched rare and expensive gem for 1€.
