| Whats on your turntable tonight? Fairport Convention - Gladys' Leap (Woodworm 1985)Solid enough album with Ralph McTell writing some good songs. More folk rock than pure folk. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Cochise - S/T (United Artists 1970)The artwork on the cover sold me when I bought this off BJ Cole in the 80s. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Suzanne Vega - Solitude Standing (A&M 1987 UK)Remember she was huge? Luka? And so young? And fresh sounding. I bought this when it came out. Now she's 61. Damn. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601 You're too kind.Pentangle – Cruel Sister (Transatlantic 1970)Very Jacqui album, light, sparse vocals. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Pentangle – Open The Door (Spindrift 1985)One of their best. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Wooden Wand – Clipper Ship (Three Lobed Recordings 2017) | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Wooden Wand - Death Seat (Young God Records 2010)Love it. Buy this record. | |
| Question about Tone Controls + Equalizers @stereo5 Fair enough. McIntosh is the logical upgrade path for folks who’ve had receivers with lots of buttons and tone controls but can't let them go. | |
| Reasonable moving coil cartridge Wrong strategy, Number One. Don’t waste your money on upgrading the cartridge on an economy table. That said, if you must, the Audio Technica VM540ML would be an improvement on the Melody. You’ve got to remember you can’t just put a good cartridge... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Danny Thompson - Whatever Next (Antilles 1989) | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Bert Jansch - Heartbreak (Logo 1982)Can’t beat English folk music. Cobblestones, Morris dancers and sour ale. Except, side 2 opens with Heartbreak Hotel. Daft. | |
| Thorens TEP 302 phono preamp Looks like a cheap circuit board with $50 worth of parts. I wouldn’t buy it on principle for 2gs even if it was awesome sounding. Look at the PS Audio phono or Manley Chinook etc. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Billy Joel - The Nylon Curtain (Columbia 1982)Bought it when it came out. Mint original until I opened the seal tonight. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? It’s A Beautiful Day - Marrying Maiden (CBS 1970)I bought this in the 80s and never played it because I suspected it would be crap. Or it was crap. I can’t remember. So this was the reckoning. And I don’t recognize any of it. Not bad at all. Wort... | |
| Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401! @cd318 Considering many recordings from that period blow away 2019 ones, it's not that improbable! |
