Oh hell yea. I have the Fluance RT 82 which is only $300. It has adjustable antiskate and an adjustable counterweight, both which prevents the player from damaging your records. Also a pretty good stylus(needle) and a rubber mat as well which is great since some tables come with felt which causes static and can stick to your records when taking an off. Plus it has a built in speed detector or something like that to ensure the player is playing at accurate speeds, rather than spinning records too slow or fast. Needless to say I'm quite happy with it! It doesn't come with a built in preamp so you can spend that extra $100 on a preamp like the u turn pluto or the schiit mani(it's $129 so a bit more than $100 but I've heard pretty good things nonetheless). It's at the bottom of Fluance's reference table series but the upgrades are just a higher quality stylus and an acrylic platter. The stylus you can upgrade whenever, the platter is said to be available separately in the future as well. Here's the link if you're interested.

Disclaimer: the walnut base is sold out but you can still get it in piano black.

Other popular turntables that are quite great include
U Turn Orbit Plus at $298, (you can actually customize your own on their website which is quite cool!) https://uturnaudio.com/products/orbit-plus-turntable

Now the Orbit turntables don't have adjustable antiskate however it is automatic which is much better than nothing.


Project Debut Carbon which is fantastic from what I've heard at $400. Critically acclaimed as well!

Anyway good luck on your record playing journey, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! Cheers!

it's not the same as live and in person, but there are a few ways you can get the feeling of what a nin concert was like. trent reznor was very open to nin shows being recorded, and thus we have a lot of great memories that can be viewed/listened/relived for us who were there, and also viewed for the first time by new nin fans.

there are a couple dvd releases of concerts that you can purchase - and all that could have been & beside you in time, PLUS an amazing fan-created dvd called another version of the truth: the gift. seriously, the effort and teamwork that went into that project was amazing. the people behind that project also helped put together a video (near the bottom of that page) of nin's live performance of the entire TDS album, sourced from many different people that were at that show, vtaping the whole thing. also amazing.

plus there's tons of fan-sourced videos of nin concerts floating around on youtube. i would recommend watching some of the 2006 summer amphitheatre shows, which had amazing (i keep saying that word, but i can't think of anything stronger) light and screen special effects. specifically, look up "closer", "only", and "non-entity". the beside you in time shows had amazing hi-tech effects as well.

I was in the same boat as you around 6 months ago. Now that I have a some quality In Ear Monitors, I have no idea how I survive on $15 pairs for so long. Before you get overwhelmed with the vast number of options out there (like I did), here's a guide that you should check out.

I spent a good 2-3 weeks trying to pick which pair I wanted and couldn't decide on anything, simply because there were so many different types (look-wise, as well as sound). Eventually I ended up going with the Etymotic HF5's. The sound quality is amazing coming from apple/skullcandy type headphones. What I love about them most is that they aren't as bass heavy as most other pairs that big name brands pump out every month. I still remember trying them out on the bus commute to school the day I got them... All I can say is that there was an incredible amount of great music hidden under the overwhelming bass that I'd dealt with unknowingly for so many years. The end of Somewhat Damaged made me feel like I was listening to a completely different song.

You've got the right idea though. Ask around, check out that guide as well as sites like Head-Fi. It'd be impossible to try them all out before investing so do some research, get some input and when you decide on a pair just make sure you get them from a legitimate seller and you'll be good.

Good luck! You're making the right decision though and your price point is perfect seeing as though this will be your first decent pair. If you need any more help, feel free to ask.

I haven't really looked into it before. I was curious myself so I ended up finding this one on amazon.

Even if you don't read a book on him, Trent's story is an interesting one. He signed a really crappy record deal when when his first album released. Most people believe his second album, "Broken" reflected his anger towards his record label, and it's probably his most "raw" musical outputs (this is also where some people unfamiliar with NIN get the impression that it's "heavy metal" band).

Trent did a lot of drugs in the 90s and really poured his heart out during the albums "The Downward Spiral" and "The Fragile". Most people consider "TDS" to be most representative of his work, while "Fragile" is his magnum opus (an opinion I understand but I personally don't appeal to).

Trent went into rehab and came out with the album, "With Teeth", which was palatable to the mainstream audience. At the time the album was pretty polarizing for some fans as it seemed too "safe" and didn't have the experimental qualities Trent exhibited in his early work.

A few years later, NIN released "Year Zero" which was precluded by an extensive ARG. Some people chalked it up to be a really clever marketing ploy, but for myself and other fans it was an experience, and really showed that Trent was still passionate about his craft and willing to experiment.

I believe it was his remix album to "Year Zero" that finally freed him from his long standing contract with Interscope Records. For a while he dabbled in releasing albums for free online, and invited fans to remix his music.

NIN went on hiatus for a while. Trent focused on composing music for films (mostly with director David Fincher), and started a side project "How to Destroy Angles" with his wife. He resumed his work under the NIN banner and released "Hesitation Marks" not too long ago.

Sorry for the long post... I kinda don't know when to stop once I start writing. The thing that makes many NIN fans so captivated by Trent Reznor is that he's not afraid to make very personal music. He's a very self-aware guy that speaks his mind publicly about things he doesn't agree with. His songs often reflect a deep introspection mired with tragedy... a tragedy that was once very real for Trent.

So yeah, the music is engaging, the man behind the music is captivating... and I think that makes the music even more awesome for the fans. I know this sounds like a huge NIN circlejerk (and maybe it is), but I like to think these are the reasons why NIN fans are sold for life.

I've got a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro's. They're fantastic headphones, though you do have to be patient with them. The drivers need to be "burned in" per se. It takes about 40-60 hours of listening to get the sound you want out of them. I've put over 200 hours into them, and they sound phenomenal. The bass is low and resonant, mids are prevalent but not too crazy, and the highs are a bit lacking, but still nice and crisp.

They're a bit on the high-end for your budget, however, they've worked very well when listening to NIN, so I'd definitely recommend them. They work very well with lots of electronic music, and depending on how you use them, favor deep bass, and cleaner-sounding music. Now, I know NIN is nowhere near clean-sounding. But, they (in my experience) don't do well with heavy rock/metal, or overly-distorted instrumentation. So, keep that in mind.

I have like 30 copies of the slip. I would say yes.

EDIT: Just FYI I bought I think 5 copies when it first came out (because it was limited and 250,000 seemed like such a small number at the time, but you can still easily find new copies still unsold, lol). then a few more when the price dropped. Then I bought like 20 used copies for 1 dollar to try and get a higher number. I already have the highest ever found (other than trent) (my user name is inaka_rob, japanese for country side, where I live). The last few thousand seemed to have been shipped to Japan. That is where I got my highest numbered one.

You can check out the records and add to it please

For those wondering, this is a remix by Trent for an industrial band called Machines of Loving Grace. He did 4 remixes for this song, "Burn Like Brilliant Trash" on this EP/single

You're one of today's lucky 10,000!

This waterfall is Öxarárfoss, located in a national park near the west coast of Iceland. I'm pretty sure David Carson took the picture. Check out his book Fotografiks if you haven't seen it before. It's loaded with the same type of (and some of the exact same) blurred-out art that is featured throughout the Fragile-era, as he was NIN's de facto art director at the time. It's also crazy cheap right now, compared to a handful of years back when I picked it up.

The bottom section of the Fragile is a seashell, to complete the picture for you. My copy of Fotografiks is back home right now but I'm pretty sure the source photo of the shell portion is in that book.

I've been into record collecting for a few years now. I would definitely not use the sleeves with artwork, and I would strongly recommend not using the paper sleeves either, but rather picking up some poly-lined sleeves. I use these things not just for my NIN records, but for All of my records. I throw away any generic white sleeves, house the record in one of these poly-lined sleeves, and keep that and the empty sleeve with the artwork inside the jacket.

If you're using the sleeves with the artwork, they are likely to be damaged over time. The seems will probably split, particularly at side opposite the opening. Not only does this damage part of that packaging which contains artwork, but it creates dust and pulp as the paper breaks down from use, which can then get into your record causing popping, crackling and scratches.

The paper sleeves that come with the records do a pretty good job, and the eventual wear won't damage anything with artwork. However, the pulp/dust problem can still crop up. Also, regular paper sleeves can be kind of abrasive. They're not something that's going to create a big scratch, but they can contribute to wear on the record.

The poly-lined sleeves have a later of slick plastic that adds durability and smoothness. The plastic isn't abrasive and doesn't wear down the same way. It protects the record better, while keeping the record from damaging the jacket or any other artwork.

I have this frame and it fits perfectly and looks pretty nice to boot.

u/StrangerinthaAlps · 3 pointsr/nin

These work really well too. I'm on my 3rd pair with probably 100+ concerts and they sound great and are comfortable.

u/signofthenine · 3 pointsr/nin

I have a copy of that as well! Same artwork...got it in the mid 90s. If you're not heard Purest Feeling, the demos on your disc (specifically Down In It) are different from the one there, and I've not found them elsewhere.

The Supernaut mix was also on the WaxTrax Black Box (naturally BB is a better sound quality, without the hiss).

I don't have the disc in front of me, but I believe a few of the other tracks came from early nin singles? (I thought "Head" was "You Know Who You Are", but I've not listened to it in awhile (at work currently).)

Due to a couple of early Down In It mixes (that I've not found elsewhere) I consider it a collector item. Congrats!

edit: I believe tracks 2-4 are different takes from Purest Feeling...and HLAH "go-go" is Opal, I believe? "Suck" may be the Pigface version, but I wouldn't know w/o finding my cd.

I love LOVE Mick's music. There's a great video he released before Doom came out about his production process. Very much like old school Trent, taking different analog music devices and stringing them together to produce strange sounding noises instead of just doing it all digital. He talks about how the game devs came to him and said "ok you can't make it completely heavy metal" and the result is something that very much sounds like metal but blended with experimental electronic styles. It gets the blood pumping for sure.

I recently found out the Doom OST is available on CD

u/timrbrady · 3 pointsr/nin

Better price than I paid for mine.

Edit: If you really want one of the special editions, go for the 2 Disc SACD Deluxe Edition. It doesn't come with the videos, but you won't be able to get the full resolution sound with it unless you have a dedicated DVD-A player, which are hard to come by. However, a lot of Blu-ray players these days coming from Sony will play SACD.

Nothing other than the fact that it is being shipped from Japan.

If your phone/computer can't translate, it says:

The expected release date is June 16, 2017. Availability for
right now is in the reservation.
It can deliver to the United States .
This item is sold and shipped by Amazon.co.jp . You can use gift wrapping.

I did see another site from Japan that also states they will have it for sale on that date (can't find it though).

Given the fact that Japan has a huge market for CDs, although there's no guarantee, I think this is as official as it's gonna get unless nin.com puts out an official American version. I bought it and I'll see how it is.

u/UndergroundWire · -2 pointsr/nin

I'm not home yet. But I went on my Amazon Order page to get a screenshot of it saying delivered. However, it turns out it has been delayed to October 1st. The original date of September 1st is wrong. Seems like nobody will have this just yet.

Anyway, now I'm curious what that package I got delivered contains. LOL

^^^Getting ^^^some ^^^PMs ^^^about ^^^technical ^^^stuffs, ^^^so..

Some technical notes:

Ableton Live ReWired with FL Studio was used during the entire production - pre, post and mastering.

Production took 4 and 1/2 years start to finish.

Guitar effects were achieved through all sorts of weird shit (I ended up getting creative because writing your own stuff to go with blissfully-perfect NIN material and still sounding OK and like it fits in is...difficult) , but mainly with a Boss GT8 , some Jello and the occasional rare earth magnet. :o

Synthesizers are all custom software + M-AUDIO midi controllers.

Everything was recorded in 24bit and then dithered down to 16bit to match the source material.

FLAC is encoded from the original 16bit .wav master at normal compression.

MP3 was encoded at 320kbps.

Ableton multitracks on the Data disk (disk 2) of Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D were used.

Unless you're distinctly trying to support your local record shop (which is good!) Amazon has it for $18.99.

Interestingly, it's not on the soundtrack. BTW, the music TR and AR did for the movie is the original score, not the soundtrack.

NTAE available for pre-order here https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B071VZ8V46/
But it says "Import" which means this is not a japanese release, so maybe Europe or US.
