Head-Fiers Save 30%!!!

its nice to see fellow head fiers support each other. and even though i still dont get into this point of the audiophile world (vinyl and such) im sure its a great deal for people who actually do buy.

Thanks Todd!  I just placed an order.  You rock!

Hey Todd. You're officially my least favorite person in the world right now due to this sale. I'm trying to save for my Harbeths and my cart at your stupid store (with the discount) is almost 2 grand.

EDIT: Is this going until you're sold out of everything or is it limited?

EDIT2: Well you got me for $200 at least, but probably more depending on how long the sale goes.

Is foreign countries VAT included in the shipping fee with FedEx? I know it is at BJC. Not sure if I should pick FedEx or USPS...

Thank you for bringing this service to our attention.  I am currently considering modifications to my computer station (relocated to Byron, CA, USA as of January 2013) to give me the capability of digitizing audio tracks off vinyl at any of four speeds (16-2/3, 33-1/3, or 45 rpm with a hi-fi stylus, or 78 rpm with a broad stylus) using probably a piezoceramic cartridge, as magnetic cartridges are not available with flip styli to my knowledge; this means an offboard mixer (e.g., the Mackie®/LOUD Technologies® 1642VLZ-PRO or 1642VLZ3) and some turntable-mounted RIAA preamplifier engineered for the eventual winning cartridge in the selection process.  (Very few PCI and PCI-Express audio products have multiple-line-level-input capabilities; I have yet to run across the supported-in-ALSA E-MU®/Creative® EM3961, or the supported-in-Win6+ Creative® SB055A.  And I still need more info on IEEE 1394 host microadapters for PCI 2.2, as the vast majority of multiple-line-in audio devices are offboards requiring IEEE 1394.)  I already anticipate being limited to one turntable due to space constraints.

Where at Head-Fi® can I find recommendations on RIAA preamps for piezo cartridges? moving-iron magnetic? moving-coil magnetic?  I plan on mounting the preamp as close to the turntable as practicable due to known noise issues with most audio installations; balanced outputs for SMPTE sinks (either XLR or 1/4" TRS) will be a plus for an offboard mixer.

Vinyl is a hassle to work with, ( Flip that album over clean that vinyl off etc.), but the sound resonates so much more to me.  I guess its good to have both to compare and contrast.  I have multiple copies of The Beatles albums Vinyl, CD, and Hi Rez sometimes for convenience and sometimes when I have the time vinyl.

It just feels special to me. I'm young but the ritual really resonates with me. Not so much cleaning, but dropping the needle and watching the label spin for a few seconds before you turn around, sit down, and get ready for some music.

EDIT: I am really trying to find it in the budget to throw more money at you, Todd. I've got my cart down to absolutely bare bones of what I want after the first order I placed. $450. You're killin' me.

Hi Todd,

Thanks, I ordered several albums.  I cannot wait to check out the 180 gram EMI Wall.

But Todd, after you sell off all your vinyl, what will you call your shop? Todd The Digital Junkie?

You shipped my second order today, Todd. You really got me good with this one. Here's hoping your next batch is even better than this stuff.

EDIT: Okay third time (order) is the charm. GIMME THAT DOORS BOX SET.
