Whats on your turntable tonight?

10,000 Maniacs - "In My Tribe"

@spiritofradio  - What does that hold? About 2000-2500 LPs? Are you going to fill it up? Wonder what the total weight would be?

I use the Ikea Kallax too, but only a 4Wx2H version. Works nicely for me.

Hey Tom.  I have several other IKEA Kallax shelves full of records and some of the predecessor model (forget the silly name).  They’re pedestrian but are the perfect size for records.   I think they average about 75 records per section.  So, this shelf might hold about 1,800.  That many records is a lot of weight so I added the wood braces/backstops.  I do this on the 3-wide shelves too.   Might need to leave some squares open for lighter stuff on the 5 wide.  Is that what you were suggesting?

Steve, Big +1 for that Eels album!

Joel,

Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man put out a fantastic album called "Out Of Season". If you don't have that, check it out I'm sure you would love it.

Deviation Social / Tempus

Tonight I have the pleasure of comparing the 2022 AP version of Miles’ Someday My Prince Will Come to the 1961 OG copy from my Father-in-law’s collection. 

My findings are as follows:

The Analogue Productions 2022 disc is obviously much quieter and mixed really “smooth” for lack of a better word. It is extremely easy to listen to.

My 1961 copy does contain a few pops and clicks, although not bad at all considering the age. This record to me sounds a little more raw, the bass notes are not as smooth as the new one, but they do seem to have more oomph to them.

I think I’ll keep them both.
