what are you listening to?

The fact is that it sound really good, no sibilances or distortions at all and this mean a good pressing played on a good setup, no need to be a proffesional to have a good hearing and to use some useful tips and tricks for achieving good results, and it's so nice to feel content especially when it comes about this hobby :-P

Thanks for sharing that also, your Signet cartridge is a very good sounding one, warm and pleasant, quite punchy and with smooth trebles, you can't go wrong with that, really. :)

It was recommended as an inexpensive replacement for a Garrott P-77 I had when I didn't want to spend $400+ on a micro tracer stylus replacement.

Garbage - Beautiful Garbage (2001)

I get it - just watched some U-tube Garbage - she's a hot chick. "Cherry Lips" - man can we take that one somewhere.

Huh. I actually like 'em. Even from a music standpoint - thanks for that G.

Their first three albums were the best.
- Garbage
- Version 2.0
- Beautiful Garbage
.... after that, they lost me.
They were slightly left of centre Rock (alternate sort of), then went mainstream, but they lost something then.

Presidents of the United states of America - Self Titled - CD (gasp!! CD!!!!!) yes something convenient whilst I cook dinner.

The drummer sounds like he is from a circus band, 1 cymbal LOL what a fun album, brilliant, no dolby NR on the master, traditional recording method with old gear. Sounds like these guys just rented a house in the middle of nowhere, drank alcohol and made an album. Must read up on the real story.

I really liked Dragon. I enjoyed quite a few of their gigs, back in the day.
Always had the best PA's and sound.

I played some to my father, and he said "I HATE that band!!!, the guy came on stage, did 1 song, threw his guts up and then the gig was over!" I think he was a little disappointed, still a great band in my eyes though. The lead singer was absolutely crazy with drugs and alcohol though.

This is how my camera takes photos without the flash (its crappy)










 
As was EVERYBODY else that worked in rock'n'roll of the era....
On a good night tho', they really raged.

I'd believe it, would have loved to have seen them, but I was too young back then (Born in 1978).
