| P3 Record Player left on for 4days.... did I trash my cartridge? +1 Drop and lift a few times into a Magic Eraser - but never drag it over the stylus. | |
| High End Audio......Sucking the Romance out of the Music? Music has never sounded better. And the better it sounds, the more romantic um, it gets. | |
| Any reason not to place stand mounted speakers upside down? Increase your chair height with a plywood base etc. Leave the Harbeths right way up. | |
| Your first system and your journey... The first recorded music I "owned" was Paperback Writer and Yesterday taped onto a C-30 cassette from the radio with In Germany Before the War on the other side. | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601 Look up Le Cid by Jules Massenet. "O Sovereign, O Judge, O Father." | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Hollywood Sound Stage Orchestra - My Fair Lady (Kent 1959 mono)Unbelievable recording. 60 years old and Billie Eilish is singing into a pillow by comparison. Near mint. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Grofé, Eugene Ormandy / The Philadelphia Orchestra - Grand Canyon Suite (Columbia Masterworks 1958)This is an amazing piece. Somewhat strident recording but the dynamics.. leap out of the seat material! | |
