    DJ's: one of my tech 12's is on the injured list, could yall recommend a good replacement?-

    I haven't had one of my 1200's for about 3 months now. It's getting looked at to be fixed, I've had to wait for this dude to have time to fix it, the supposed problem wasn't it, so now it's getting sent to another dude. What's comparable in feel and performance for decent price?

    What is a good way to gage the price of a record? (novice seller - R)

    Pockets are a bit tight these days, and I have decided that I can live with selling some pieces to knock out some bills. Where do you guys look up prices at? Discogs? Popsike? Gemm? Or I guess the better question would be, how do you decide what to price a record? Obviously condition...

    Can Soulstrut school me on Marcos Valle?

    I had heard a few of his songs randomly through web searching before, but recently got my youtube on and I'm really stuck on his Previsao de Tempo record. The vocal and rhythm arrangements are so catchy and fun, yet quite funky. I've since looked up prices of some of his records.....Damn...

    I have the album "Miles Away" on wax and they list the players on the album, mostly new names. I was just wondering if any one besides Madlib chipped in on the instrumentation as well, or if they're just new aliases. At first I wasn't a big fan of the record, I was actually let down a...

    Herbie Hancock - Sextant (Album Art related)

    Does a full (both sides of the LP) version of the artwork exist? This is such a great cover, but the back is just as dope and adds a mystique a la Bitches Brew. ....Just picked up this LP today and I'm listening for the first time and this shit is ILL.
