Re: Turntable mat
Well, I have kept the felt mat on today, listened to about four hours of music this evening and feel saddened it's coming to an end. It takes me a good while to determine what's best, especially if the differences aren't massive. I tend not to really listen to the sound, just go for whatever seems t...

Turntable mat
What you all using?
Have you stayed with the supplied manufacturers mat?
I've been using a Trans-Fi Reso-mat for a good few years now on my Technics but I just tried an old felt mat, either Rega or Linn, I think it was a Rega one, and it sounded a lot better than I was expecting.

Re: Prog by alphabet
Exactly. But when did it start being called prog? The last twenty years?
Sinatra
Any fans of Frank? I have about fifteen albums, mainly the Capitol years. Especially love the work with Antonio Carlos Jobim, appreciate that's on Reprise. Some great melancholic late night listening. "When you've loved and lost the way Frank has, then you, uh, you know what life's about."...

Re: Prog by alphabet
I have a question for you, Missi. When was this genre of music first called prog? Back in the seventies, ELP and Yes were called techno flash by the NME but it seemed a derogatory term. Of course we had progressive rock but that was always a very wide umbrella. I can't ever recall ELP, Yes, Genesis,...

Re: Labour Leadership Contest
It seems to me sadly, that Labour don't require any help from the Conversatives in choosing a leader that won't win a general election.

Re: Linn - is the end near?
They made a turntable called the Basik which was below the Axis in the scheme of things. I went to a Linn demonstration at a hi-fi show once, they had their top LP12 baking off against the Basik. The Linn employee asked us to raise our hand with regard as to which turntable we thought best. Everyone...
