Vault Package #19 Shipping!!!
@William Melton – I posted on here about having a faulty copy of Hardest Button too, but decided not to bother with the hassle of sending it back for replacement, so never bothered contacting Customer Services. My deck is a pain to set up for 45s (remove platter, shift belt, adjust tracking and counter balance etc then change it all back for LPs – it’s a Linn – superb turntable but really only meant for playing at 33 1/3) so I rarely play 45s. Thought I’d just keep the set as a collectors item for the odd occasion I do get my 45s out to play. The other discs were fine and none of them ‘cut-off’, but then someone else pointed out that may be a turntable issue rather than a disc issue.
Hope everyone that’s still waiting gets their’s soon, as despite the issues (eg the colour highlights are a bit lacking) it’s still a great set to have.
Last I heard the “R’s” were being sent, So lets see that leaves S, T, U, V, W yes W! Guessing here but about 3 more weeks? The anticipation!
R in Illinois and no email yet….
After reading these comments, there is hope that I’ll receive my package soon. First letter V in NYC here :)
Man, I still haven’t even gotten an email.
No problem:)
Thank you Jason and Makayla! You both have set me at ease. :)
I have the problem with songs cutting off and I know why it happens. The record player’s arm cannot go that far. I’ve had the problem before with other records that had the grooves cut too close to the middle of the record and also with the “under label grooves” on some of my tmr records. It’s just the kind of record player, not the record itself.
William Melton, I may have been the first person to post about the sonic issues. Only one of my discs was defective & it was the “scratchy sound” problem, not the “songs cut off prematurely” issue. I contacted customer service, advised them of the issue, & they had me send the defective disc back to them for replacement. The person who handled my return advised that they’ve only received 2 complaints a/b the “Hardest Button” record (which was the defective disc in my package) so I’d encourage anyone having issues to contact them right away. They seem to want to do the right thing, but I always think it’s best to deal with these types of issues ASAP to avoid any potential hassles down the line. I hope your package arrives wholly rocking out of the box…
Seems to be hit and miss with the quality of sound with these 45’s, has any one informed TMR customer service with the “sound issues” If so I would love to hear the feed back on this. Would be neat to see a You Tube vid showing the "sound and songs cutting off " problems.
