I also got both of those machine head albums. My copy of the blackening has a slight warp but doesn't really affect the play. Guess I kinda got lucky on that. I would be interesting for a video on the record pie and see how it works. I thought about getting one.
I will get a video out, hopefully in the near future, on the Record Pi. So far I’ve been happy with it. It doesn’t work miracles, but it does work and can reduce warp to make an unplayable record playable.
