Time for a laugh and this follows Tool.
Make it Big .... Wham.
Lmao, the wife saw it in a Goodwill and bought it for 50 cents.
And no matter what, the album is in pristine shape.
Just had to play it....... |
Dream into Action .... Howard Jones. |
Iron Age .... Mothers Finest.
Sealed promo copy |
Jamaica Say You Will ... Joe Cocker |
My good friend Rick visited this morning and we used his alignment jig to set up my Garrard 401/ Micro Seiki 505ls / Scheu Analog SL combo to Lofgren A spec.
Then verified speed with external strobe as the markings on the Garrard platter only work at 50hz....
Now sitting back enjoying the results.
Thx Rick!
Don't shoot me I'm Only The Piano Player ..... Elton John. |
Ice On Fire .... Elton John |
Sold a load of CDs on eBay yesterday approx 300.
Spent half of what I got for them on just 12 albums at my LRS today....
😂😂😂 |
My Aim is True ... Elvis Costello |
Stop Making Sense ... Talking Heads |
I have Boogie Brothers on cassette Slaw.
If I ever see the record I will buy it. |
Night Flight ..... Justin Hayward |
Awesome sub test record Slaw!
It has so much weight and authority but zero bloat or boom.
You have me digging it out! |
D.E 7th ..... Dave Edmunds.
Just some good old rock,n,roll done very well. |
Ah got it!
If mine has a brand name its in Chinese!
😂😂.
Rainbow Seeker ..... Joe Sample. |
Welcome back Reubent!
And I have spent last 2 week's at home trying to recuperate from a torn cruciate ligament.
Meant plenty of music!
But out again Monday to BDP24 country for 10 days of work so be back to streaming only for a few days. |
Thx Slaw.
While searching for APC I stumbled on the same Eddie Money album but when I looked at condition it is pretty dire shape scratch wise.
So just a keepsake memento I think for posterity. |
Ziggy Stardust ... David Bowie.
I think the first Bowie album I ever heard and still one of my favorites. |
Thank you Mr Postman!
3 MoFi albums arrived.
Give them a clean and will be spinning tonight!
Champagne Jam ... ARS
I Robot ... Alan Parsons Project
Best of the Raspberries |
Up first
Champagne Jam ... ARS
MFSL1-038
Really, really nice! |
I'm sort of curious now as to how many hours I can get out of this Scheu Analog SL cart I'm in love with!
Between my 401 and the Nottingham before it I would estimate 700 hours.
I bought used with claimed 200 hours ( aren't they all...lol).
So even if true that's 900, maybe even 1000 hours.
And it still sounds fresh, in fact better than it ever has.
What does anyone think will be first indication that it is starting to wear out?
Distortion?
Tracking?
Treble response? |
Sounds like a plan drrsutliff!😁.
Full procession and everything! |
Freetime .... Spyro Gyra. |
|
|
Mistaken Identity … Kim Carnes |
Focus 3 ... Focus.
A classic ( imhooc) |
I would add Nils Lofgren into the mix as a must see guitarist/singer along with Nick Lowe and Costello.
Just my opinion of course.... |
Empty Sky .... Elton John |
|
Victim of Love .... Elton John |
Been pretty good on cleaning stylus at least every record. And have been using Lyra SPT for as long as I can remember.
About every 4 records or so. |
Never really had a cart long enough to wear one out.... lol
Usually chopping and changing but the Scheu is here until it dies.
And then it might get resurrected! |
How did it get deleted?
Thought only op or mods could do that. |
That's some hours noromance!
I'm hoping for 1500.
Of course then the question is what to do with it?
Not that I have any shortage of carts waiting in the wings ready to go.... |
Keeping up with the JS theme.
Rhapsody and Blues .... The Crusaders. |
Reports from a fellow member is that the local record show is busy and somewhat overpriced. About what I expected, still I MAY go about 4pm just to see😁.
Right now just fitted a new to me phono tonearm cable and will be testing same out for any uptick in SQ. |
Ecology ..... Rare Earth.
Newer copy to replace my badly worn and very noisy older copy.
Great album 👌 |
Different World ..... Uriah Heep.
Recent European import from a UK seller off Discogs. |
Welcome mbd3.
I have one Vannelli album but not played it yet, have to move it closer to the top of my pile... Lol |
I ran a whole new 75ft cat8 cable from my upstairs modem to my downstairs switch which replaced a pretty old cat5 cable.
Not sure if I really heard any SQ difference BUT the occasional dropouts and disconnect I had seen at times appears to have ceased so there is that.
And of course that could have simply been some tiny corrosion on the contacts....... |
Greg
You have more TT than I do... lol
Not that there is such a thing as too many of course......
Enjoy and happy holiday weekend although not much to celebrate right now. |
Greg
So are you looking at another TT to replace the Music Hall or staying just with the JVC? |
It's A Heartache ... Bonnie Tyler. |
Frijid Pink S/T.
Deram German pressing not the USA Parrot Records release.
Hard to believe that a fledgling Led Zep opened for these guys once back in 70 in Detroit I think. |
|
Proud Words on a Dusty Shelf .... Ken Hensley |
He forked over the money! Result!! Still a lot of hassle..... |
Sleeper Catcher .... The Little River Band |
Tribal ... Imelda May
European import |
Blonde on Blonde ... Bob Dylan.
Mono reissue. |
