Fleetwood Mac
When I learned that in the parking lot out back of Sound City the band told Stevie that they were going to leave Silver Springs off the album, I totally lost interest in them. One the best pop songs ever written and these stupid musicians couldn't... 
Manufacturers don't get it. make tubes visible.

These are the carts I am enjoying great success with on a 1200mkII:- Ortofon 2M Red on Ortofon SH-4 shell- Ortofon 2M Black on Ortofon on SH-4 shell- Shure V15 IV (Ed Suanders stylus) on SH-4 shell- Stanton 500E (Saunders stylus) on Stanton shell-...

Thiel CS6 Compared with Eggleston Andra 1

Oderus Urungus found dead
I saw them around 1991 in Boston and they were VERY entertaining. As you can imagine, Ron and Nancy Reagan were among those celebs who were "beheaded and dismembered," yes, right on stage! Glad I stayed back a ways from the stage as I only had the...

technics SL 1300 modificatiom
