Inexpensive Classical Vinyl

I’m building my classical collection the same way. I haven’t had too much luck at getting them for under $3, but I’m working on the same principle.

AthtelGiven the cost of new vinyl, I'd still feel pretty good about the $3 range. It always depends on the store in my area. The Salvation Army and Goodwill stores here have a flat price, regardless of the album or condition. The Habitat stores price individual albums (but tend to have better condition items). What types of places are you hitting up? I'm always looking for new sources.

GunsOfBrixtonWe have a huge recycled bookstore here in my area and they sell classical records in pretty good the very good condition for $3-$5. I also frequent goodwill and various thrift shops and antique malls (one of my favs just burnt down though...).

GunsOfBrixtonMy prime source for classical LPs is library book sales. I must have purchased a thousand over the years. They usually sell for one or two dollars. I won’t pay more than that unless I know it is a legacy recording and would bring 20 times the cost on line.

AthtelBummer about the fire. I don't have an antique malls near me, but I've been in enough to know that must have been a heck of a fire, and a lot of loss. I'm going to have to check the used book stores near me, wouldn't have even thought of it. Thanks for the idea.

SPQRBrilliant. Hadn't thought about that, although several of the albums I've picked up have library sleeves on them. Should have put two and two together. Thanks for the tip!

The audio on my pc38x is not working
One day I just plugged in my Pc38x and they stopped working. I tested the mic and it works, I've tried changing the cord multiple times and have adjusted the volume disk, none of this has changed my situation. I've tested the headphones on my PC, switch, and PS5 and the audio doesn't work there either.

Meze 99 Noir
Heard a lot about these in the past few years, and they sound as good as they look. Deep bass, crystal clear midrange, and solid treble, overall superior sound. Great for multiple genres, special...

Hifiman x Dekoni Cobalt or Massdrop x Meze 99 Noir
Im looking to buy a set of closed back headphones under $200. So far the two main contenders are the Cobalt and Noir. Has anyone compared these two? which seems to be better? Both are around the same price. Ive heard the cobalt is lacking in bass, while thats not ideal im not too worried as I dont often listen to bassy music.

Xduoo Poke II repair
Hi friends, I recently had a mishap with my Xduoo Poke II, that is, it fell out of my hands and now it turns on but the command buttons now work sometimes and sometimes not. I have written several times to Xduoo directly because it was with them that I bought this Dac and to find out what I can do about it but after two months I have not received a response. I live in Mexico City but I would like to know if anyone knows of a technical service in the US that could repair my Poke II and know if it would be worth it for me taking into account the cost of repair and the issue of shipping, or if it is better to think about buying a new portable Dac. Thanks and Cheers everybody.

Refusal to take responsibility.
Hi, Just thought I would make a note here of your handling of my issues. I ordered a pair of HD6xx headphones and then earlier today recieved the package. I drive to go and get it, as I like in the UK I had to pay import tax and handling fees. These total £47.92. The breakdown being £35.92 in tax and £12 in fees. These taxes were calculated of the shipping label of the box, which marked the shipment as the 6xx headphones of $199 value. Before leaving the parcel depot, I open the box to find a $35 lord of the rings mousepad. So now the problem is not only do I not have the headphones, but you have marked the shipment wrong so I have paid £47.92 fees for the handling of the mousepad. Which would have acrued £0 of fees if marked correctly as it is under £135. I go back to the desk but as I have already paid the fees I am unable to reject the shipment, but as the box said 6xx, there was no way for me to know before opening it. I contact support and they offer me a replacement, which...
