Blind to Faith - Unstoppable War United Mutation - Dark Self Image (another GREAT Radio Raheem comp) Inferno Requiem - SHANHAI and like ☭ Bob Loblaw ☭ I now have 5 records sitting in Germany awaiting the ability to ship here. Almost makes me wish Fucking Kill Records would stop putting out great DM.

An old Air Force buddy dropped by this weekend. He's been trying to clear out some space in his workshop, so he gave me a Pioneer PL-518, 2 milk crates full of LPs and a shoebox full of 45s amassed from estate sales, yard/junk sales and thrift shops that I need to go through. I saw 'Cosmo's Factory', 'Quadrophenia', and 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' in one of the crates.

That's an awesome table and would be worth putting a few buck into to get running properly if its not already.

Perfect working order with brand new cartridge, but missing the plastic dust cover. The guy who gave it to me is a pretty hardcore tinkerer in his spare time, the turntable was one of his latest projects, said it took him a while to get the balance on the tonearm right.
It's definitely an upgrade, the turntable I've been using for the past 4 years is the one that came with a $120 "Innovative Technology" brand stereo system from Amazon.

What setups are you all working with?
Picked up my dad’s German turntable he had in the 70’s in Berlin, I need to get it refurbished but I’m hella stoked on it. I’ve been using a mid-level Pyle table for years, I’ve upgraded everything I could but it’s time to move on
What are y’all using for preamps?

Shot my wad on a U-turn Orbit Custom a few months before lockdown; walnut base, acrylic platter, and an Ortofon Blue cart (best decisions ever!) and paired it with their own Pluto pre-amp since it had very high reviews. Still feeding into a shitty Sony 5.1 receiver set to 2-channel stereo, but have been researching vintage gear to replace that. Currently using Acoustic Research floor speakers I bought in 1991 (still sound GREAT!), and have a pair of 70's era JBL towers I will clean up once I am able to get the receiver of my dreams.

I have an audio technica with a built in pre amp Spent literal decades with one of these as well as a Realistic linear-tracker from the 80s. Still have both as backups because they were such great workhorses.

Just got 108 - 18.61 and Godflesh - Post-self
one of these Earth records I ordered, the tracking says it's out for delivery in FL and I live in NY. I hope it's just the wrong tracking number

Im not a huge audiophile so I don't really care if I have a crazy setup. it sounds really great to my ears with a nice set of bookshelf speakers

I do! It sounds great, but I do not have a reference for anything else. Acrylic slipmat on top of an acrylic platter really seems (and looks) a little weird, but the Orbit comes with a tonearm height that is meant to have a mat in addition to the platter and is not adjustable, so that's how I handled it. One thing I've noticed though is static charge is a BIG problem in the winter months when its super dry. I have to run a damp brush over every record just before playing or you get really scary sounding pops.

But again, I don't have a real reference as this is the only way I've had this table setup. Maybe its just working with a more sensitive cart than I used to have? It's a little annoying but worth it. Again, this time of year, its not a problem but come winter and the super dry indoor air it's VERY noticeable.
