Vinyl Albums are great

Gene Cafe Home Roasting machine (cost a fortune).

But you can only get that with a top machine (mine cost a fortune)

Iam starting to think it wasn't cheap

I'm sure I've said this before on here, but back in the day I used to keep cuttings and interviews and album reviews from Sounds and Melody Maker and so on and slip them inside the relevant album. These days, on the rare occasion I grab an LP (I have to go to the garage, move some spare kitchen chairs and a couple of bikes, remove some sheets, some mouse-traps, some bubble-wrap, a box of books, and some flower compost) I'm often delighted to find, not only do I have a whole album cover (and sometimes an inner-sleeve) to read, but all that extra material, too. Good job there's all this reading material as I've nothing to play the vinyl on, anymore.

I bought an album last week that had a newspaper article in it, also a picture of the artist (Neil Young), together with a note wishing somebody a happy birthday (in 1977).

Years ago i picked up an LP in a charity shop and inside the sleeve was a signed poster for a gig in Morecambe some 20 years previously. Brought back some memories as i was at that very gig... sh!t album though.

Possibly the worst place to put a Rega turntable, what they need is an isolated wall mounted shelf like this,
in order to sound any good.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip. Now I've got to find something else to put on top of the cabinet. Any suggestions?

You could put the turntable in a skip and buy a fifty quid CD player for a clearer sound.

 

[Bill Gates]

I've found the answer

Actually as far as I am concerned the deck is fine if it it stands alone away from the other stereo equipment as is this one.

Some would say those Ditton 44s need to be on stands, or at the least, spiked feet.

It's the snap crackle and pop that's the problem.

True story.

I was skiing in Canada with my brother and his young girlfriend , 16 years ago now. We were talking about music and my brother asked me what make / model of turntable I had. Unprompted his girlfriend asked if I was a DJ. How we pissed ourselves laughing , and then laughed some more when she didn’t realise why.

Not as good a sound as vinyl. Vinyl sounds warmer and less fake I feel.
