| Whats on your turntable tonight? Just for kicks, put the MyMat under the record and play again@slaw Well, I'll be... the My Mat fixed it. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Marty Robbins – Just A Little Sentimental (Columbia 1961)This should be in your Mom's collection. Guy singing old songs. Good voice. Great voice, like a country music cross between Elvis and Chris Isaak. Crystal clear recording. Barber store quar... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? So weird thing happened with Herman’s Hermits album. I played it on the 9" Decca Gold fine. I replayed it on the 12" SuperGold. Every now and again, it would jump a few grooves. I checked stylus, cleaned, checked VTF. Tried different VTA. Up close... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Herman's Hermits – Blaze (MGM 1967)After all that American 60s stuff, it's a relief to hear this English band. What a cracking album. NM. | |
| Newbee Question... The 1/4" jack is a line out. You need an amplifier to drive the speakers.1/4" stereo jack to RCA cable to the amp. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Modernaires – Like Swung (Mercury 1962)Side 1 only. Great stuff. Vocal harmonies. Shame there’s a gentle fried eggs playing alongside. Those damn cheap record players of yore. | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Connie Francis – A New Kind Of Connie (MGM 1964)Lovely. Thankfully, the big band stay behind her voice. If only they could have been bumped for a quintet instead. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Four Brothers – Together Again!(RCA Masters 1970?)1957 jazz recording. Good music. Just not great. | |
| Looking for a speaker cable with a relaxed sound. So you’ve all this detail and spent a bunch extracting it. Now you want to dull it back down a little? Try this experiment. Romex 14/2. The white one from Lowes/Depot. Use only the black and white wires. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? David "Fathead" Newman Jr. – The Best Of (Atlantic 1971)Pulled from the back as it’s just a compilation. Cleaned and new MoFi sleeve. A pleasant surprise. ’Cool Jazz’, apparently. NM. Clear as a bell, dynamic and no suck. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Roy Eldridge - Little Jazz (Disques Vogue 1962) | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Buddy Tate – The Great Buddy Tate (Concord 1981)An almost perfect jazz album. Lovely tone and depth. Recommend with the caveat that the 80s recording lacks that 50/60s sparkle. | |
| Built a DIY butcher block and iron pipe rack over the weekend Looks great. Nice photos too. I used concrete blocks with maple. |
