what are you listening to?

10” 78rpm album sets, Andrews Sisters, Victor Borge, Desi Arnaz, etc.

Ahh, early data storage. Thought maybe it held the machine that played those cylinders.

The cylinders are a new addition, don’t have a phono for them yet.

Finished the knobs on the Grafonola. One of the originals was broken, but I have a friend with a lathe. These are poplar, very hard wood that didn’t want to stain. I had to use wood dye instead. They could probably be a bit darker.View attachment 49940

It’s a Columbia Grafonola E-2 from ~1926, disc phono in the top.

The tracking on the Pioneer linear tracker isn’t tracking, but the backup is just as sweet! Ortofon Super OM30, btw... need to examine the CdS “eye” on the Pioneer, I’m sure it’s an easy fix, maybe a dead bug got inside...

Yeah, I love this Dual...

I Robot, the 2x 45 version...

Well, my assessment of this pre is that it’s stellar...
Sounds great! Playing with the holography feature, some sounds seem to come from beyond the speakers. Wild shit! Haven’t compared it to the 4000 yet, will be different with the Autocorrelator. Not that it’s better or worse, just a difference in signal processing.

 

[MarkWComer]

Forgot this one- track one of side two was the first I played after completing the 400, the tightness of the bass surprised me. I forgot about the last track of that side...
