RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Great pic. Interesting tho', as although I rarely use my turntable, at the back of my mind I keep meaning to get a lid. Must be a s@d to clean.

Nice setup Leonard Does the turntable have a lid ?

[quote name='paul j h' timestamp='1424261684' post='2694453'] not wanting to highjack this thread but does anyone buy CD's anymore I have loads that I want to sell but not sure if the market is there anymore. I guess Ebay is the way to test. [/quote] Not a hijack . if I really like a band, I will still buy cd . Just seems right . Could advertise here?

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1424260023' post='2694416'] Yes, I've done the LPs in a frame thing, bought a couple of LPs to support friends' bands despite not having a device to play them on. They look nice on the wall. Nice owl I have a Bose Soundlink Mini and fire everything to it via Bluetooth, either from laptop or phone. It's surprisingly good sounding for the size of it, and being portable, if I want to listen to some tunes while doing some dishes in the kitchen, I just pick up the thing out of its charging dock and take it through with me. Not quite as swish as a Sonos multi-room setup perhaps, but works for me [/quote]

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1424261073' post='2694441'] Amp and speakers for me. Mine are over 24 years old. I got a Rotel RA930AX amp and a pair of custom bi-wired and sealed Tannoy the E11s. I pump my pc soundcard through that, an Asus Xonar Essence STX. I also have a Rega Planar 2 turntable. It all sounds crystal clear to me and nothing else will match it by a long mile. [/quote] I had rega 2 . The nuts. I now have pink triangle. An old friend of mine, used to know a best friend of his who worked there.Unfortunately ,he died tragically. I bought unfinished turntable from his brother. Lid broke , but it's lovely

Wow! Interest in the thread already! Cheers.and thanks for the kind words etc;) . I forgot to mention my system(s). Bedroom/hallway (I live in a small upstairs-maisonette). Cambridge audio amp/ nackamitchi 5cd player/ cheap ceiling speakers Living room : was Cambridge audio amp / b&w speakers . Now use cambridge audio soundbase . Bluetooth. Mac mini/ studio monitors . ( may have made a mistake with soundstage . Space saving idea. B&w Speakers eyesore for brother who's still with me). I'm thinking about the picture frames. At the moment, I have a tour poster in my bedroom.(used to be in the spare/ bass guitar room;) pic later.

Sorry about this, but since coming out of hospital last week I have had very little sleep. I've got 3 weeks at home to recuperate,and think starting this thread will help me get some sanity. Getting Spotify on Monday ( trial via Vodafone), got me thinking lots. First, I cannot believe how fast it is to connect to an artist. Secondly,for the price of a couple of beers, I think it's great value. It gives me a chance to checkout artists I've overlooked or ignored. I've got loads of vinyl( and had much more before I sold some and bought CDs in the'80s). Obviously ,now got MP3. Many were transferred from cd anyway. Do I miss the artwork? Not really. I did think of getting a couple of those picture frames , where you put your fave album sleeves in . Has anyone on here done that? Audio quality; do you prefer amp/ speakers., or is a dock the way forward? Soundbars off the TV anybody? I know things have been said before about the above, but I'm trying slightly different angles;) Cheers

I hated doing this . The beginning/ verse fine. The middle section - a pain in the a@@se! Plus the fact , the song began to grate after a while. Take no notice of me. Have fun!

Relax, do nothing unless you need the cash

I think man on a wire is on there. Brilliant Oh, and the Jason Becker documentary. Very sad , but good.

Sounds good to me on my iPad Good stuff. I was nowhere near that standard at18 months . Keep going

Good for metal

After much thinking, I think it's gotta be ricochet by tangerine dream for me . Still listen to it commuting even now .

Was never a new romantic, but worked with a guy who was. I do miss the'80s . I even liked fade to grey. Shame . Inspirational to many at that time .

Due to the crap wi-fi signal , ( which is the norm for me) i will post pic tomorrow . Sound cloud? Mmmm, I have a month off work , so will do something soon Cheers

Just got the final( for me ), piece of th e puzzle .The Boss PPH-10 Phaser. Complete with original Boss pas-240 power adapter. Now. I've got to get my fingers out and start making weird sounds

Don't think this should be in off topic . More people should see it , so maybe accessories or whatever . Anyway, I go for akg( the ones from richer sounds around£40 -50). Can't remember the serial no. Ideal for commuting , muting bawling babies etc,

Not music for pleasure then ? (Mfp label)
