I had a friend who borrowed my LP and has since disappeared 😕, thinking of buying a replacement LP... or CD. Borrowed and disappeared? Hmm... I hope your friend is compensating you for this loss! For this reason or fear of getting my vinyl records scratched or damaged, I don't lend out my vinyl collection to my friends at all. I mean we can't expect everyone to take care of the records like we do and accidents do happen when handling them. Am I the only selfish one here?

mike_amk Posted May 25, 2024 Report Share Posted May 25, 2024 I've never lent any of my LP's previously, till this friend... now no more! pleaded for some of my unique albums to take samples for his dj mixing. He returned three of the five albums, all covered in grimy fingerprints and scratches!... now totally unplayable on my turntable. He faked a pic of his supposed HiFi turntable...LOL... turns out it was a cheapo Stanton with a bad stylus. Lesson learnt I guess. Anyway I've got friends who'd bring their albums to my place and have an afternoon sharing music. But I'm really not keen to play my albums on another turntable for fear of that stylus damaging my LP... unless he's got a good turntable stylus. I wouldn't say we're being selfish by choosing not to lend our LP collection, for the exact reason you've mentioned... and it surely pisses off wannabe 'dj' friends.. hehe. A dj friend would complain how noisy his records sounded, so I cleaned it for him, and it sounded good after a through cleaning. Now I charge him $3 to clean an album using my Ultrasonic LP cleaner... 😆 lol... these people only know how to use LP's and will not bother to clean it. steppenwolf and SurpriseMEinHere 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurpriseMEinHere Posted May 26, 2024 Report Share Posted May 26, 2024 @mike_amk I was in the Rochor aeea and scooted over to Hear Records at Burlington Square to browse. Unfortunately, I didn't see the Dirty Loops LP you were looking for. I hope you had better luck?? : P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_amk Posted October 2, 2024 Report Share Posted October 2, 2024 Hey guys, Just happy that the Dirty Loops CD's I've ordered have just arrived. Sadly the LP's are all sold out, even the one featuring Cory Wong. Anyway , I ran into a massive problem while testing out my 5.1 surround sound speakers... The front and a rear speakers blew out!! So I've just managed to buy Q-Acoustics speakers as the replacement and a Marantz AV Amp to replace the Yamaha that I think may have contributed to the speakers blowing out!...sad ...a couple K's down the toilet. I'll be busy taking down the speakers and having to re-drill the walls to mount these new speakers... and hope the amp drives these Q's well. Cheers 🥂 Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steppenwolf Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Merry belated Christmas & Happy belated New Year @SurpriseMEinHere & @mike_amk! I've had a very cold Christmas, but still not cold enough for it to be a White Christmas unfortunately. I've just got back from the UK yesterday and as usual, I need to make space again to welcome my expanded collection! LOL For now, keep spinning indeed and have a vinyl-ful 2025!

mike_amk Posted Sunday at 03:09 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 03:09 PM Hey Guys, How are you doing... hope all is good. I've just stepped back home after almost two months being away looking after my Mum, and the sight of the mess I left my apartment in when I dashed out that day, was rather overwhelming to take. I've switched off the lights so as not to look at the bloody mess out there, and gone into my music room to listen to something from Secret Garden to calm my Soul. Goodnight SurpriseMEinHere and steppenwolf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
