Tj,

Just wanted to show you my new stereo rig...

 

[thomas james]

MB,

You are a bon vivant for sure.

 

[Midnight Blues]

Thank you, now if the Misses would just hurry with the Martini's....

 

[thomas james]

MB,

You are a bon vivant for sure.

Maybe NOT,,,,,,,,,

That is a Record CHANGER,,,,,,,,

YOU would never do THAT!

I figured you for a manual turn table with a fifteen pound platter. Direct belt drive.

Ok, busted. I've got a Bang & Olufsen TX2 not a bad little table but your right not a record changer, But I do like Martini's for sure....

Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon

 

[Carlos]

Dual 1019 here. Stanton 681 cartridge with Pickering D11S stylus.

 

[Midnight Blues]

Here's my kitchen system, the Misses enjoys listening to Tony Bennett while cooking...

 

[thomas james]

Cool Carlos, I once had a Dual 1210. Very awesome machine.

MB,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,that's another record changer,,,,,,,,,,,,,,can't talk yourself out of this one.

The Mrs. looked mighty fine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,way back when.

What next?,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,a stack of 45's?

[Midnight Blues]

T, here is a shot of my actual Turntable, not a record changer at all....

 

[thomas james]

I'm humbled.

Uncle MB!

 

[Midnight Blues]

T, No need to be humbled. I still not convinced that the TX2 is The turntable. Its got some cool space age features and great sound but the cartridge is proprietary and crazy expensive. I'd love to audition an old Thorens or Dual or maybe an Empire.

Keep the records spinning and the pipes smoking...

 

[thomas james]

Aye Aye,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Uncle MB!

Bottom line is enjoyment.

 

[Stormcrow]

Supertramp - Breakfast in America.

 

[earl]

Just as I like my first bowl of the day to be mellow, I like my first music of the day mellow. So, listen to classical in the am. Since I do not have a huge collection of music, I tend to rely on internet radio-you can get a wonderful selection of it in all genres that way while not spending a penny. Earl
