  1. Playing tomorrow night at the Crown was supposed to be second gig with my 16 year old son on drums but landlord has just decided a 16 year old cant be on the premises after 9 pm so we are having to do it with a stand in nice guy good drummer but not familiar with half the songs but hey we'll get by. When I was told about this I was really pissed off told my son that if he didn't like us doing it with a stand in I would cancel and his reaction really caught me off guard rather than over reacting ( like I was) he told me "Don't be stupid you don't want to lose a gig just because I'm not allowed in there will be other gigs" where's the teenage angst where's the attitude wow there are times when I could just throttle him and then there are times when sat in my darkened room that he makes me so proud.

  2. I have a transport and dac circa £3000, valve amp about same running into a pair of monitor Audio floorstanders and have always been very happy with the sound they produce, but last year I bought a 20 year old Rega Planar 3 fitted a new drive belt and an Adio Technica AT120e cartride and needle £100 put one of my old albums and was blown away. To my ears in my house on the equipment I have there is no comparison the CD,s are good but the vinyl is in a diferent league as for scratches I always looked after my vinyl so not really a problem. I now buy both vinyl and cd versions one for convenience (car,computor etc) and one for listening pleasure. I dont care what the theories are the variouse formats are just tools some of which are better for some things than others imho of course
