| Have you ever heard "This Whole World"? bdp24-This thread is just a reminder the Beach Boys were part of music revolution which was the early 60's, before the British Invasion.I did a refresher course on BB history. Their earliest years are especially interesting. Imagining the music re... | |
| Have you ever heard "This Whole World"? I was never hip to Beach Boys stuff outside of the 60's classics.Once again, bdp24 widening my musical awareness!That song has a lot changes going on. I can understand it not grabbing the ears of the casual listener-no hooks, or catchy musical ri... | |

| Stockfisch DMM Dubplate LP looks like more novelty than anything else.For the system with the EMT, Tech Das .....The choice of music is fine, but it reminds me of something like a muscle car doing a burn out or Ferrari revving at a stoplight. | |
| Choice of Phono Cartridges I have used the AT OC9III(discontinued, but still available) Not having compared specs in detail, it looks like the XML is similar, and with a threaded body, which the older versions lack.Great cart for the money. There are plenty threads with sat... |
