Absolutely love this Album
Common - Be
I know he's a piece of shit of a human being, but this is one of Kanyes best produced albums, everything just flows.
And Common is just brilliant on this, no skips whatsoever.

No need to pay silly reseller prices.
My local record store had this classic in earlier today. I had to cop it.

June's purchases.
Thoughts?
I normally buy 3/4 records a month's but I had the itch to buy a lot. A 3rd of these are charity shop finds that range from £1 to 10 regarding my spending habits.

Bowing out of this hobby.
Sold my Arya Organics not because I didn't like them, quite the contrary, they were perfect but they took a backseat to my speaker setup and my IEMs for when I'm out and about. It didn't make sense to keep them because of the speakers.
It's been a great journey over the last 6 years and came across a lot of nice people in this community.
Never say never, I might return over the next few years, but until then. Ta-ra!

What's your RnB album of the 2020s so far.
For me, it's Roses in the Dark by Cleo Sol. No skips whatsoever and always puts me an uplifting mood whenever I put it on. One of my most played records.

Technics SL-1200 mk2 prices on the used market are getting out of hand.
Especially here in the UK. Had a look on FB marketplace and the cheapest was £450, it's absolutely battered and bruised. Don't get me started on eBay, some deluded sellers on there. For a decent condition, you are looking at least £600.
Don't get me wrong, would love a Sl1200 mk2, but I settled for the Sl100c for £635. Is the Mk2 really worth the premium? Or would an MK7 be just as good?

How close are you to filling your record unit
Probably 80 records before I'll need to a bigger unit. When that happens, I'll just get a hifi rack and move the bigger Kallax unit to the wall on the left!

Picked up for 50p (66c) in local charity shop
Maxwell Embrya:
Ive never listened to this album. However, I love Urban Hang Suite, so I thought why not, especially for 50 pence.

Finally picked up Mos Def's (Yassin Bey) Black on Both Sides record.
When I first got into collecting 5 years ago, this record was hard to get in stores. I did see first pressing at record fairs for £80-£100 but I couldn't justify paying that. Anyways, my local record store had them in earlier this week and today I pulled the trigger and bought it. One of my favourite hip hop albums.

Does anyone just own one headphone?
I have the Hifiman Arya Organics. I had the Fiio FT1 but kept going back to the Organics, i do have IEMs and BT earbuds for portability though.
I do prefer my speaker set up, so it's pointless for me to buy anymore headphones.

Back to the Wiim Ultra as a preamp
I made a post a while back stating that I'll be using the Wiim solely as streamer transport and connecting it to my Fosi ZP3 Pre-amplifier. It was fine for the most part. However, I missed the auto sensing feature the Wiim had. I have a CD player and Turntable connected to it, so it was so convenient for the inputs to automatically switch whenever one of the sources was playing music. Also the bass management software is top notch imo.
The ZP3 is a nice bit of kit but because of the convenience of Wiim it just makes sense for me to use that as a preamp instead. Anyone else use the Wiim as a preamp?
Hopefully, this Wiim lasts. This is my third, the other two had hardware issues. So fingers crossed.

Black Midi pick ups
Cavalcade and Hellfire:
I was looking for albums that sound similar to The Mars Volta's Frances the Mute and Deloused in the Crematorium, I posted this in the Prog Rock subreddit and I got a lot of recommendations, I did go through them but this band instantly clinched with me. Just love the energy both albums bring!

Discovering different genres because of this hobby.
Who knew I'd like Kraut Rock. Been listening to Neu! And Can mostly. I'm checking out other bands/artists too. Another genre is Prog Rock that I've been exploring.
​
As a Hip Hop/RnB head i thought I would venture from those genres
