Hutch would you want a very nice grade copy of this?

Id give this copy between an 8 and 9 out of 10.

Sorry if this question is a repeat but where do you all go to read about the sound quality of vinyl reissues?  Apparently there are labels to avoid and labels to follow....versions to buy and versions to avoid.

Any ideas?

Thanks - funny you mentioned that. Question is a result of a conversation I had last week with a guy at Ka-Chunk in Annapolis. Pretty sure he mentioned that label.

I then went home and popped on a Melvins reissue and was initially underwhelmed by the sound.

Enjoy the edible lo-fi sounds of "Jarabe Tapatío," aka "The Mexican Hat Dance."

After years of having makeshift areas for my record player, I finally pulled the trigger on this. Definitely a bit pricey, but I think it will finally resolve my ongoing record player location issues.

That is pretty badass. I'm definitely fighting off an urge to impulse buy this.

Yeah...I followed the kickstarter for weeks/months and finally pledged and got a small discount.

Yeah at $400 it is, but it is pretty slick and the way it should be done (isolating the turntable from speakers and things that go thump in the night)

What am I missing with this thing when I think "Wait, can't you just get something for $50 at IKEA that does the exact same thing?"

If it was $300, I would have already ordered it. That last $100 is making me think about this for 24 hours first haha.

So any opinion from the platter enthusiasts on the board of this rig
$400 for a proper build is not too bad
