Unlimited limited digital vinyls.

We could pay the NSA to track everyone signing up for the kickstarter and then sending a drone to those playing the digital version without being part of the kickstart. If we're smart, we pay them to track the internet for the next hundred years, so we're pretty sure these tunes won't last long after this lucky generation. ;D

Vinyl ripping checklist:

1. Joyrex should [insert unsolicited advice here.] It would be an incredible oversight not to [summarize unsolicited advice.]
2. The stylus should be [insert audiophile perfectionist claptrap here.]
3. The turntable should be placed on [insert absurd anti-vibrational requirements here that involve thick granite slaps suspended on pools of mercury.] Anything less will be intolerable.
4. The DAC should be [insert price inflated glorified consumer electronic brand here.] It should be used in an underground cavern to reduce effects of cosmic rays.

 

 

hah hah hah, those cosmic rays'll do it everytime.

I'm performing fung shui on my room as we speak.

BTW the noob is correct - the Ortofon Arkiv is a repackaged DJ-E stylus.

Boom.

I suggest we bury the vinyl under the ground. Then put it out and blow it under the direct sun ventilating it with weed smoke. The result must be recorded to a rotten cassette tape. I would pay a dollar for that.

I've just bought 15 of each of those. this will surely ensure that I am the chosen lord.

are you gonna buy the gear for ripping the vinyl then?

 

fucking awesome!

 

lads, we've found our vinyl ripper!

 

lol, i'll contribute to furthering this thought in a jocular way.

 

He is a new user though, how can we vouch (no offence man but this is the first thing that should come to mind), how on earth would you trust someone that just registered with this disc. It would be an insanely stupid decision from a security standpoint. Especially when their first posts were roundabout geared towards them being sent the unreleased thing.

 

 

If it was at all unclear, I am not suggesting that I do this rip myself or that I am trusted with absolutely anything. All I am saying is that some of the Kickstarter funds could go towards ensuring a proper setup rather than some loose change returned to each backer.

 

It seems like me calling the Arkiv a DJ cart was incorrect, but doing a bit of research into it shows that it uses a heavy tracking force (designed for broadcast/archival, so minimizing chance of tracking error), which wouldn't be very kind to the purchaser of the vinyl record. A better cartridge wouldn't wear the vinyl nearly as much upon one play and would probably sound much better.

 

Not that anyone is asking, and not that I'm necessarily offering, but I could see myself fronting $175 for a JICO SAS stylus to be shipped to the ripper (or investing in some other way) if there was a partial return on my investment.

 

Just because I recently registered for a WATMM account doesn't mean I'm new to this stuff.

 

I'm not suggesting that you don't know what you're talking about and have enjoyed reading your contributions to the discussion. [-;

I just wanted to make sure that everyone understood that we need to be very conscious of the security of our precious.

Total doh.

I think going for April 14th would have been rather cheesy, and considering the media whirlwind that is happening at the moment, I definitely think this should be struck while the iron is hot.

definitely side with comments about Tomorrow's Hype

I would also strongly advise WATMM Members to check their PM inbox... soon

10-4, sir.

Woa, earlier then I expected! SO HYPED! Thanks boss!

(Please let 'soon' be a few hours before tomorrow 10 am cst btw, so I can sort out the paying problem stuff asap, as I'm away for a day after 9am cst)

too much exite!!!!!!!

To be perfectly honest guys I was really hoping for a 9 hour long field recording of the sound of traffic going round the Smellycunt and Asshole silver roundabout box thingy. Why isn't THIS an option?
