Kites new album (actually a collection of their EPs) and 2 Dinosaur jr, a Daft Punk and an Earache compilation. My tastes vary.
Upgrade time again.
Important note: only Severin sells the 8-disc collection. Everyone else has 7 discs and are missing two movies.
Dreamcast disagrees. https://www.consoledatabase.com/consoleinfo/segadreamcast/ /s
I watched NetworkChucks tutorial and just did what he did but on my Macbook. Any recent Macbook(M-series) will suffice. https://youtu.be/Wjrdr0NU4Sk?si=myYdtKnt_ks_Vdwo
Three disc set. I haven’t listened too much to the Stones so this will probably sound all new to me. I have seen more SACDs on the used market lately which is nice.
The state of movies on physical media in Sweden is now that all major electronics retailers have dropped it. They used to have a pick 2 for 10 type basket over by the video games but thats gone. The really big grocery stores sometimes has a shelf with 5 or 6 of the latest releases usually only stocked with dvd and bluray. I basically have to go to second hand stores to browse physical media. So I order all new releases online. Don’t let this sad state of affairs happen to you!
All new cds, all old music. 😂 Mostly electronic as you can see. The FSOL ISDN is the new 30th anniversary 2 disc set. 👍🏻
I wasn’t impressed by it at the time but i’m willing to rewatch. Since its in 4k. 😝
A lot less since I started using docker instead of running separate vms for everything. Less systems to update is bliss.
Lunch pickup. RSD was mostly wasted from my perspective but i’m really happy about this one! I love me some Delia Derbyshire!
Very nice! I already love Mlem so I can’t wait to try out the next generation!
I used to own that Ministry box set back in the day. Besides being awesome it also has a vover of Smothered Hope, the Skinny Puppy song, which is worth the price of admission alone. The Cure is also a re-buy. It was nice to find a Covenant cd I don’t own in the wild too.
I bought the PSVR. Its fun as a novelty but I wouldnt want to work there.
I never had an Atari system in its heyday but the Atari Jaguar, although getting a bad rep for its controller and limited library, is a pretty solid piece of tech and has the best version of Rayman imo. So, Jaguar for me.
New cd/bd release for 2024. So in one package you get the 2024 Steve Wilson remix on cd and bd and on the bd you also get: a Dolby Atmos remix, 96/24 LPCM stereo, DTS-HD MA 5.1 remix, 96/24 LPCM 5.1, instrumental mixes 96/24 LPCM stereo and the original 1977 stereo mix. This is a staggering amount of great music!
I love the song and the movie. I wish it would get a western bluray release. Sure it makes no sense 80% of the time but its damn cool.
My wife has migraines so yeah, headphones it is! 😂 I don’t know how Klipsch speakers are but their headphones are really, really bright. I actually use bass boost when I listen to them to avoid fatigue.
I noticed a lot of brightness with my Meze 99 Classics but the Hifiman HE-400 sound amazing. I agree it is bright.
The red Ortofon is included, its a 2M RED, and MM. I will probably only change it once its worn out. The built-in phono stage doesn’t support MC so I would need external RIAA amp for that which seems like a hassle. 😂
Thanks! Its a very nice turntable. Very solid and it performs as well as I would expect, I use the builtin phono amp and thats good too! As for upgrading from another competent turntable? If you’re REALLY into vinyl maybe but the law of diminishing returns is alive and well.
I decided on the middle-of-the-road Technics SL-1500C.
I’m nearly done setting it up, feels great to get back into vinyl. 😎👍🏻
I got it used. My trusty old Ear 9 is now relieved. Harmony Design is a swedish brand, their HPAs are really something else!
A couple of upgrades from dvd in the giallo box but the spanish ones are new to me.
I haven’t owned (or used) a turntable for some 30 odd years.
Now I want to get back in the game. Musts for me: direct drive, must be ready to play out of the box. Nice to have: bluetooth, phono preamp, USB I have no DJ ambitions but if controls ala the SL1200 are included I don’t mind but I will likely never use them.
I have pretty much narrowed it down to 3 turntables but they are in different price ranges and i’m not sure if more money will actually matter?
- AT LP-5x. Looks nice, wont break the bank.
- Technics SL-1500C. Pricey but looks nice too.
- Cambridge Audio Alva TT v2. Breaks the bank but seems to have all the features.
Thoughts? Am I overlooking a turntable?
Brucesploitation! If this is anything like the Black Emanuelle box set its gonna be a treat!

My favorite secondhand store advertised the Fu Manchu movies so I snagged all of them and added a few more discs for shits and giggles. Luckily I have a weeks vacation ahead of me and can actually watch some of them now! 🥳🍺
