    Anyone else here import records/LPs from Japan? Do you notice you  need more weight on or needle arm to get them to play without skipping? I don't see much online about this and it's driving me nuts.

      Haha, yeah, I was utterly frustrated with my current turntable when I got it at first ...everything skipped and just sounded dreadful until I realized that the height was set incorrectly. But yeah, definitely check the weight first if you haven't already. Hope it helps :)

      Are we talking contemporary releases or older stuff? apanese 70:s & 80:s stuff are usually fine (unless it's scratched or storage warped), but newer stuff may have problems if it's mastered the same as for a CD (for example: extreme pannings and too loud bass can cause skips). 

       

      But yeah, just fiddle around a bit with the tonearm weight and see if it gets better. I usually have mine set at +2.5 ~3g or thereabout. You'll notice it if you've set it too high if the sound starts gets distorted. Also, if you have the opportunity to adjust the height of your tonearm, you might want to look into that as well - thicker pressings (180g and above, ie. mostly 00:s and later releases) may require some adjustment.

      Digital or physical? Seems like they put out a lot off odd promo stuff, been seeing weird give away not-for-sale flexis and promo kits and such floating about.

    Soooo out of all the Engrish I've seen in my Japanese music collection, this particular segment takes the cake for being the most painfully awkward bit. Yeah... this is for real. From the back of the "Sour. Bitter & Delicious" album by Krush Groove.

      Hm, just a hunch, but don't you think they mean "Nigaaa" as in 苦い (Nigai = bitter)? Considering that it's followed by "Uma!" (= "umai" [うまい?], which I think means delicious or tasty). But yeah, looks pretty iffy written out like that either way :)

      Whoah! I had no idea it commended such prices. Guess I need to step my game up! Not so fond of regular COLOR, but their bumbling attempts at 90:s house is somehow my kind of jam  :X'D:
