Buying dupes is emberrassing.

As I've been buying a shit ton of records lately, I found that I've ordered dupes three times now... Once in the same 24-hour span due to a lapse in reading comprehension. Just now I was looking for a record on Ebay, thought the seller rejected my offer, then immediately bought the record on Discogs for $5 less. Come to find out the seller actually accepted my offer, I just misread the print since the price was striked through/crossed out. Ugh. So now I have two copies of an out-of-print Mission of Burma record coming. I guess it could be worse, right? I should be able to flip one at cost, no problem.

Previously I did this for a preorder of Polygon Window where I bought both an available black vinyl version and a pre-order for clear vinyl. So I now own both. Cool, I guess...?

And before that, I did the same thing on Bandcamp several years ago where I bought a Messer Chups album twice. At least that record has gone up in price since, but I'll probably just hold onto it.

I feel like I'm losing my mind, haha. What's the worst that you've done? How many dupes do you own, and how many were on accident?

Can anybody tell me why my turntable sound like shit?

The vocals seem to drown out the instruments. I've tried every possible adjustment, but without success. Let me know if you spot any issues.

Thought this might rile some folks up.

Great job, Walmart.

What is this SHIT STAIN on my record?

wasn’t allowed to post this in the normal vinyl sub, what is this? it’s less visible on the other side and it cannot be felt with touch or heard (i think)

Record store near me has boxes and boxes and boxes of old RSD stuff on their second floor.

Free turntable i got from a dead guy

Saw a add on facebook for a free turntable about 15 minutes from me, didn’t hesitate and went to go scoop it, when i asked the seller why it was free he said “it belonged to my father-in-law and we dont use this kinda stuff here” i shrugged my shoulders and took it home, made sure everything worked and ya been using it the last couple days, big step up from the all in one player i got for Christmas!

Model is a Pioneer PL-670

Yamaha K-640, revitalized

So I decided to join you maniacs and get into cassette collecting, which inevitably meant I had to buy a deck, and it had to match my other 80s Yamaha setup, and it had to be fully recapped and tweaked, and 87 parts and a stack of tapes later here I am

New belt still in the mail and I haven't got into the nitty gritty tuning/servicing yet so maybe that's next

Plex not displaying the correct year for most albums

Server Version#: Version 1.43.2.10687 

Windows: Version 1.112.0.359-0d79a49f

Ever since the recent metadata issue with plex & music, I’ve encountered an issue where any of those albums affected, and any other albums I refresh metadata on since, display the wrong year if the year being pulled is 01-01-XXXX

If I edit a release date to Jan 2, the year displayed is correct, so it appears PMS is displaying the date -1 day and thus the previous year.

This is affecting a lot of albums, Fixing Match to other entries doesn’t change the date, and obviously manually changing thousands of albums wouldn’t be a practical fix on my end. Refreshing my server would just make everything much worse.

This affects both plex media server and plexamp

Anyone else experiencing or have a solution?

update: its widespread

Tape quality - what's good / what to avoid?

Recently got into the hobby and was just wondering how to navigate what's worth buying for actual listening vs. what to avoid.

For example, some early 80s stuff I bought sounded like trash, while some XDR copies sounded great; and for modern releases all the stuff from Shadow Kingdom has sounded pretty bad, but is this the case for all current labels making cassettes?

- do any current labels produce good sound quality or are they all mid? Anyone bought from HRR?

- for 80s tapes, are there any rules to avoid or seek out? Are Cobalt or Chromium tapes always a lock to be better?
