| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade This one? That was visible on the side of their factory from the Magic Roundabout (until I left Wiltshire in 1976). They later went more minimalist still: It’s actually more representative of the letters than my wife’s signature. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade I remember it well from my driving test! Just next to it on the north side is the Plessey/Garrard factory - or was! | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade Didn’t Terry O’Sullivan have something to do with Garrards as well? He was the manufacturer of Loricraft machines and I’m sure he also sold or refurbished Garrard decks. I had assumed SME acquired that side of things from him when he sold them Lor... | |
| Great vintage MM cartridge for my Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck/Spacearm. Recommendations? I usually run four tonearms, but can go to six using pods. I recently did some rearranging because of the re-introduction of the NuVista Vinyl and remounted my MP-500. I not only like its performance, but it makes sense to me to use it for the fir... | |
| Hipster/Chic "Vinyl" playing machine I bought my second SME for less than that! (But I'm not scared of tonearms.) | |
| 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? |
