Vinyl Records Value – What Are Your Records Worth? Rare Records has an exhaustive summary of why LPs cost what they do. Good as a refresher for some of us who may get so focused on a small part of the market that we forget the big picture a little bit. 🙂
Sweet Vinyl SugarCube in on IndieGoGo
I thought this was interesting because it is relatively successful on Indigogo even though we, personally, like to hear everything on an LP, including the occasional pop and click. The track splitting though, could be really useful…
“Silicon Valley based SweetVinyl™ introduces the SugarCube™ line of vinyl noise removal and recording/playback components. The SugarCube SC-1 and SC-2 are the first audiophile-grade products to enable non-destructive click & pop removal on any vinyl LP record in real-time. The SC-2 also records digitally – providing automatic LP metadata identification and tagging, track splitting and recording to connected USB storage.”
Acapella Cellini loudspeakers in a modern gray and white fit very nicely into this mid-century modern home.
Thin deformable walls and make for some bass suck-out, and hard-surfaces everywhere make for an elevated midrange – so we have work to do.
Neli has some family-heirloom carpets that go well here – but they are too small! So what do we do? Get a new carpet that better fits the room? Use two smaller ones, albeit ones that have different patterns from each other? Is the aesthetics of the room really that important? Does it contribute to the enjoyment of the music or it’s only job to stop the sound from bouncing around the room indefinitely?
You know, moving requires us to make So Many Decisions. We are kind of burnt out.
Anyway, lots of tuning to do.
OK. I guess it had to come out sometime. There is indeed a mirror that surrounds the gas fireplace. Not our idea. Seriously.
Have to say that you DO get used to it. But we will probably put some plants there, or paste up old album covers over it, or give people Halloween masks to wear [I will be Terminator and Neli? Trying to convince her to go for the Princess Leia, but…]
We’ll be open soon… !
