Some really diverse stuff in the mix... wow, how fun
sad any knowledge I have on fixing a Linear tracker would be around the Souther and it’s variants... the Kenwood is beyond me.
as for the paint - try the @slaw steamer trick - thermal expansion differential might pop the paint loose.... which Dead album is it ??? |
Streaming stuff you guys are spinning: Gray and Pink, Snowgoose ( anybody ever read the book that inspired it ? ), Brain Salad.... |
Heresy I know but Brian Salad at 96x24 on Qobuzz is a spectacular sonic landscape |
Yes, a very bittersweet little novella. An old girlfriend (didn't appreciate her nearly enough when we were together) found a precious first edition cloth bound copy for my birthday. Christoper Nolan’s Dunkirk makes a most excellent companion piece to the book. |
Jimi Hendrix Purple Box set record #5. |
|
James - how cool....you are a renaissance man |
|
@bob540,
If that were my record, I'd use some record cleaning fluid....let it soak a while then steam it. If you've never used a hand held steamer before, just use your common sense and remember it is PVC so if held on one spot to long, you'll create a dip on your record. I'd hold it more horizontally instead of pointing it straight at it. Good luck! |
Agree @slaw, Ram Is a great album, best Paul ever made imo. He played drums on his first, then hired studio pro Denny Seiwell for Ram. At a seminar of his I attended, Denny said McCartney was paying him $150/wk! |
Paul didn't believe in spreading the wealth around, did he?
....................................................
New Riders of the Purple Sage "The Adventures of Panama Red" |
Running thru Gabriel- Us
again... |
@slaw - great New Riders album
|
Secret World perfection fit to mood.... |
Levin is understated brilliant |
@nicks25,
My copy is a remaster and has surprisingly superior SQ. |
Third Degree ...... Flying Colors |
Link Wray "S/T" Polydor/pp |
Peter Gabriel "Passion The Last Temptation of Christ" 3 lp/45 rpm |
@slaw well that is perfect for Easter :-) brilliant- I have that on the NAS |
Thanks @tomic601, I'll look for the article. |
|
@nicks25,
One of my all time favorite records! |
Dan Fogelberg - High Country Snows
Not a typical Fogelberg - country flavored with Chris Hillman, Ricky Scaggs, Vince Gill, Doc Watson .... |
|
"High Country Snows" sounds intriguing. |
@tomic601 ,
"Passion" is so much more enjoyable with the new interconnects. Open & dynamic. |
@slaw an accident with upside !!!!
when stuff breaks, I tend to upgrade it as was my path with power amplifier- each Oh-S&&&&& turned into an upgrade in Sonics but at some cost... |
I officially joined the ranks of the unemployed. Go stand in line tomorrow. |
Tomic
i never need a reason or excuse to upgrade... lol.
Steve
Man that sucks.
So sorry brother.
Hope everything will work out in the end. |
Oh man, bummer, hope your job comes back soon @slaw |
The Oblivion Particle .... Spock’s Beard |
Sorry to hear that @slaw - hopefully this starts to wind down soon and that you can get your position back. Thinking positive thoughts for you. |
Decided to swap out my Karat 23r for a different cartridge from my collection.
Went back with my old faithful, Scheu Analog SL.
Forgotten just how nice this one is.
What I would term, totally neutral.
Nothing to get excited about, no big fat mid range, no extended top end, no rabble rousing bottom end.
Just everything so right, all music, nothing added.
How it should be, reminds me why I bought it.
Good times. |
@slaw so very sorry to hear that Steve - keep your chin up - bunch of us here pulling for ya. Please reach out IF ya need something

Sorry to hear that slaw. It's such a hard time for so many people. |
Blackfield V.
It is every bit as good as I hoped for sonically.
Might have to look for a few more 45rpm albums |
|
Grateful Dead - Terrapin Station |
Led Zeppelin III (Companion 'Disc') |
Maybe a bit OT, but how many of you keep a dedicated TT for 45s?
|
And, if so, what do you recommend? |
Heart - Little Queen. Trying the VPI Classic and Kiseki Blue NS with the Manley Chinook. Seems like a nice match! |
Bob.
I only have a couple of 45 so no dedicated tt.
My 401 switches instantly between speeds
Greg.
That sounds like a wicked combo indeed. |
I'm curious why you would have a dedicated table just for 45s. I have some 45 RPM LPS. It's pretty easy to change the speed either move the belt a notch or some have a switch. |
Uber, it sounded really nice, but it sounds great with the Pass XP-15 also. I think my technics sl-1200 mk2 sounds better with the Pass. Maybe I'll leave things like this for a bit. |
Filthy Friends / Invitation |
Want to use one of the dedicated “big spindles”, audiophile tables don’t use them, plus I want a stack changer like Garrard GT10 |
