Author Topic: The "What did you buy today (or recently)?" Thread Damien Taylor Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Perth, Western Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 02-04-2011 11:21 AM                     I bought a new in box Technics SL-1200 turntable. I waited too long to buy a second one and having just been discontinued I wasn't going to regret not getting another. There will always be millions out there, but I know this one hasn't been in DJ hands.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

That was probably put on by the store.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 02-05-2011 01:41 AM                     Stickers like it used to be on the shrink wrap. I've never seen a DTS one though.

That Titanic laserdisc cover is interesting. You would think they would have used a different font for the E-L-E-V-E-N Academy Awards. It looks like the movie won 2.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-18-2011 12:16 AM                        I bought a ViewSonic LED 1080p monitor. I thought LED technology was supposed to give more rich color saturation than LCD. I don't see it. If anything, it has a hard time pumping up the contrast. It's decent enough, it's just I was thinking it would knock my socks off....my stocks are still on. What did I think I was going to get for $180.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-18-2011 01:11 AM                        I noticed the bad contrast levels when perusing sets in the store as well. I did not like the blacks I saw so I left.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

You would think they would have used a different font for the E-L-E-V-E-N Academy Awards. It looks like the movie won 2. Yeah, the numeral 1 in Baker Signet doesn't look much different than a "I" or lowercase "L". I'm trying to figure out the logic with mixing a serif typeface like Baker Signet with Trajan, the typeface used for the main title. The results clash and look stupid. Maybe Trajan took up too much horizontal space for the Academy Awards note. I would have used a natively condensed sans-serif typeface instead. The most annoying things to me on that Titanic cover: the line "a James Cameron film" being set in what looks like Baker Signet and then artificially squeezed to hell and the "widescreen edition" label at the top being stretched. Type distortion is one of the easiest ways to give a layout an unmistakable amateur hour look.  |  IP: Logged Cameron Glendinning Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 845 From: West Ryde, Sydney, NSW Australia Registered: Dec 2005 posted 03-02-2011 01:27 AM                     I've just gone on a spending spree over the last week or so! Picked up a cp55, now all I need is a 222sr/a card if anyone wants to part with one? New camera 60D, it doubles for both stills and video. I also bought a new tripod head thats not pictured, a manfrotto 501 HDV for my old carbon fibre legs and micro jib, the camera looks a wee bit small on such a big tripod! And it was also time for a new clothes dryer!  |  IP: Logged Ian Parfrey Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1049 From: Imbil Australia 26 deg 27' 42.66" S 152 deg 42' 23.40" E Registered: Feb 2009 posted 03-02-2011 02:08 AM                     I've just gone on a spending spree this last week.
