    Are all copies of the vinyl pressed on 180g? I just picked up my copy, and I'm not all that sure this is 180g. I think it's a little too thin.

    It says it's supposed to be 180g, but they might have messed that up.
    After all they originally stated the Stand Up DualDisc was going to have a 24-bit stereo track on it and we all know that didn't happen.

    120g~150g is what it used to be.

    Re: BWGK on Vinyl

    I have no problem if it's 120g vinyl. In fact I think most needles/catridge assemblys without adjustable vertical tracking are actually more comfortable with 120g vinyl. If a record is too thick your needle isn't lying on it at the perfect angle for sound.

    I sometimes remove the felt on my platter when I play a 180g record and in the highs I find there just ever so much smoother.

    I agree, I'm good with it that it is. I was just wondering if there were different pressings, some with 180g and others with 120g. I never though about removing my felt with the 180g. Does that really help?


    This past Record Store Day at my local shop, they were giving free felt covers away with the PBR logos on them. Pretty funny.

    Re: BWGK on Vinyl

    Sweet, I would have loved one of those mats!!


    It's not a huge difference, I find it results in no distortion in the highs usually towards the inside of the record. Sometimes I find with heavy records on the last track or two there's an occasional bit of distortion in hihats, cymbals, etc., that isn't there when the record lies flatter.

    My next TT will be fully adjustable for that, so I'll see how much of a difference a 180g makes on the meter over a 120g one.

    Just got mine from my local record store. It doesn't say 180gram on it, I don't think it is.

    The guy at the record store said the company didn't ship him the single vinyls he ordered, said to check back in a few days. Will they still ship him the limited edition singles?

    I bought the 7' vinyl today for 2.99 and I'm not mad about that at all even if I could've gotten it for free some place else. I love that perfectly square shape I've realized. I kind of want to frame it.

    Well, frame the cover and send me the vinyl!
    Vinyl is meant to be listened to, not framed.

    Do you know anything about the Cambridge 540P? I'm wondering if that would give me any noticable increase in sound instead of using the 805 Phono input. I know you had the 640P on your list of budget preamps, but I can probably get the 540P for around $70 versus $179 for the 640P. Thanks!

    The only thing that's been holding me back from buying the vinyl is whether or not it comes with a download card like most new vinyl releases today. Does anybody who has the vinyl know either way? I'd prefer to buy the vinyl, but I also really want the album on my computer as well.

    No download card.

    Re: BWGK on Vinyl

    Stupid question...I bought the vinyl...Love the album...But is there anyway to reduce the surface noise from the turntable...There seems to be alot of noticeable surface noise coming out of the right channel during playback. I have an Ion USBTT that I bought last fall to mess around with and I know it isn't the greatest thing, and I know surface noise is inherent somewhat to turntables but if anyone has any advice I would appreciate it.

    Thanks,

    Honestly, whether or not you can download should have no bearing on whether or not you buy the vinyl. If having it on your PC is important, spend $10 on the CD. If the quality of the playback is top of your list, buy the vinyl.

    Both those entry-level Cambridge preamps are great - I believe one of the guys in the vinyl thread recently picked up the 540p or at least was asking about it, but I have to say I think you'd be pleasantly surprised at the increased frequency response and reduction of surface noise you'll find with a dedicated preamp over the awesome 805 receiver.

    Some vinyl has more surface noise than others, but with a new record you shouldn't notice much. If this comes in paper sleeves (I haven't got mine yet) then there may be fine shreds of paper in the grooves. Best solution if you want to hear your turntable at its best would be to take the record to a hifi dealer in your area (call first) who cleans records. They should do each LP for $1 roughly. That'll get rid of most static and most fine dust and paper particles.

    In all honesty you may experience better sound with a CD at that level than you do with the Ion. Those Ion's are really for people with older record collections that just want to back them up for mp3's and not listen to them anymore.

    The better the record, the cleaner the record, the better the turntable/stylus/cartridge/preamp/etc., the lower the surface noise. I have some vinyl in my collection that you would never know it was vinyl it's so quiet. In fact the only way you might now is because you've never heard CD sound this good!

    I wish I could say that was true. Vinyl quality and CD/digital portability are equally important to me, and the great thing about most vinyl records these days are that they provide both. If I could buy both right now, I would, but I'm strapped for cash enough as it is. I'll probably settle for the cd for now, then get the vinyl when I can find a job. Meh. The things I do for love.

    Don't know if this has been brought up, but my vinyl has a mistake. When listing the songs, side B and C they are switched. B has the songs that should be on C and C has the songs that should be listed on B. Anyone else have this?

    Re: BWGK on Vinyl

    Anyone buying this from Best Buy today? I saw it was advertised for the amazing price of $11.99 in the paper Sunday. I went online to order it to pick it up in store since I'm at work and can't get it till later. At 10:15 I had to go through 4 stores before finding one that had it in stock. I don't know if that means they never got it or already sold out but if you are planning on getting this at Best Buy I would ASAP!
