I recently went with my wife to buy a punching bag set from a guy off Craigslist. While we were there he mentioned he was also selling a pair of tower speakers and he’d offload them for $40. I figured for that price I could take a chance on them being crap. Got them home and inspected them and discovered that they aren’t crap at all, they’re Infinity Crescendo CS 3009s from the mid-90s. The drivers are in good shape, just need some refoaming. I set them up in my living room and moved my two channel system in there. I pulled out my Onkyo HT receiver to drive them as it was the only thing powerful enough for them. They sound excellent, with high quality ribbon tweeters and two 10” bass drivers.

Now I just need to upgrade my turntable, DAC, and probably the amp and I’ll be set.

Album is excellent; I've been listening to it on Spotify. I'm hoping Mondo carries it so I can get it for a bit cheaper. Ordering direct seems... expensive. Sad I missed out on the colour version, though.

Nice! Did you get it from Amazon or Newbury? They had a real cool variant, but Amazon ended up dropping to $14 and that was a sweet price. I heard its a dirty vinyl and should be cleaned first but that it was remastered and sounds great! I cant wait to hear mine.

Yeah, I missed out on the color variant, too -- got the regular one via the preorder that ended at the tail end of September. It was about $30 shipped from Denmark, so no VAT for me.

Congrats!

I have a similar find for an old pair of DBX Soundview V's. I bid on a subwoofer for $1 on an online auction with a pickup about 30mins from my house, these were a throw in, no one wanted them my $1 bid was enough.

I got them home, threw them in my garage and they blew me away. I made room in my basement set up and they continue to astound me, apparently back in the day sometime in the 70s when these were originally bought they went for $2k-$3k, they got a bad rep from a lot of folks I think as the original company was bought out and they thought these models were overpriced.

For me, they are one of my greatest $1 finds, nothing like slapping on some old classic rock on vinyl cranking through these bad boys.

btw, I never connected the subwoofer so no idea if it's any good.

Here are the releases for next month's Black Friday Record Store Day.

Nothing I'm particularly interested in. Last year there were at least 5 releases I wanted (and got).

Yeah not much for me. I will probably go for the doors release and that’s it. Maybe Neil Young.

Phenomenal vinyl!

This is the "The Fog Over Antonio Bay" edition from Amoeba.

I saw this at my local store for $35 and ALMOST pulled the trigger. Glad I didnt as I was able to get it online for $19! Looking forward to it! BTW, how does it sound? I have been hearing/reading that a lot of folks are getting noisy/bad pressings.



Also for you LA folks, Waxwork records is releasing the Exorcist exclusively today at Amoeba records and you can get it signed by Friedkin.

There's a PledgeMusic for Bruce Dickinson's solo albums - they have a box-set for all of them, but I just went for Chemical Wedding, which sounds great!

There's only a few of most of them left.

My copy sounds great. I do have that vinyl brush I posted pics of before and I give them a surface sweeping on each side before playback. I only read one complaint on an FB users group and it was against the black LP version. I also have the sacred bones anti-god green but that one is staying sealed. I have a buddy who has the deluxe halloween version and that one is going for almost $200 on the secondary market.

Yeah, I saw that Waxworks event at Amoeba but it's hot as balls right now and I don't care to spin the Exorcist -- that's a scary score/soundtrack. :lol:
