Re: Weekends are for vinyl

I am sure I would be, I don't doubt it for one minute. What I do doubt is that the LP12 is as shit as a lot of folk would have me believe. The LP!2 hating bandwagon is a mighty fine thing..... While i agree with you about how some peoples perception of LP12's sounds 'broken', i still have of soft s...

Always suspected Lindsay's gaff is not the hovel some of us live in,

Re: Savvy System Blog

Very nice Paul, i had a flat strobe 401 with SME IV with Lyra Argo/Benz Micro Lp till recently,
decided to sell the 401 to sort out my Thorens TD124, as yet not got it off the ground,
not got the incentive to play vinyl of late. :doh:

Re: Your last listen

Repeated listening to this last night in memory of Doc and this forum,

Re: Black - Colin Vearncombe

Thanks Bencat, a wee story about James Grant, his miserable persona is no different off stage.
