| HumminGuru vs.Degritter The other day my wife texted one of her colleagues to ask if she was on duty, and was delighted when her iPhone offered "Are you on drugs?" | |
| HumminGuru vs.Degritter @daveyf "degauss" or "degas"? | |
| Karajan Mahler Six That does sound very tempting! At the link above, click on videos, then scroll down and click on the video entitled "The Original Source Series - The Making of Karajan: Mahler's 6th Symphony. | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? There's a "boiling frog" issue with stylus wear: it happens so slowly that you don't hear the change. Once you put a new stylus on you realise what you have been missing. That Sussurro deserves a trip to Uncle Peter! | |
| Progress at londondecca.com Repairs are being handled in the UK, by a tech called Neil Marshall. He is based in Sowton, on the outskirts of Exeter, in Devon. I understand that when you send him a cartridge it is to be sent to his (?)brother at a garage as they are open every... | |
| Progress at londondecca.com When londondecca.com was first up, they had prices listed, but that page has disappeared. The most recent info I have is that enquirers are told there is a $150 diagnostic fee, and then they will tell you what the rest of the bill will be. John Wr... | |
| Progress at londondecca.com The londondecca.com shop is now functional and open for purchases. | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? @bdp24 My London Super Gold w/Decapod is backup to my London Reference. Give me Decca/London or give me silence! I have a Jubilee for that purpose! And, @dmk_calgary , the londondecca.com shop is now working and taking orders. | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? I also bought an MP-500 to spare my London Decca Reference, as at the time, it was unclear whether anyone would take over John Wright's business. I ended up buying a second turntable, then adding a second tonearm to each, as many of the candidates... | |
| Progress at londondecca.com I started with a Decca Jubilee on an RB300 - they went fine together. @bdp24 How about a Decca on an SME arm/table, amplified by Musical Fidelity and Quad, feeding Quad ESLs? | |
| Progress at londondecca.com The effective mass is said to be 12g, so it should be OK from that point of view. You might ask in the long Decca thread at Lenco Heaven whether anyone has used them together. https://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/index.php?topic=545.0 | |
| How often to you clean vinyl and the needle? LPs get cleaned on acquisition, given a new inner sleeve, and then cleaned again whenever I think they need it. A good clue is when flecks of dust will not blow off despite a treatment with an anti-static device. A soft stylus brush before each s... | |
| Rega p10 vs SME 12A It's cheaper in the long run to get the best right at the start than to buy lesser tables along the way. One issue with Rega tables is that you are locked into using their cartridges to get the correct VTA, unless you are willing to employ shims u... | |
| Led Zeppelin IV vinyl Don't worry, I wasn't being serious. Andrew was a boyfriend long before I met her in 1976. Chris | |
| Led Zeppelin IV vinyl I have an original 1971 UK pressing, but I had to marry the owner to acquire it. Should I be concerned that it says "To Pippa, love Andrew"? |
