what are you listening to?

Off topic but a subject interesting to many here I think - turntable playback and phono cartridges. Peter Ledermann of Soundsmith.

I talked with Peter a while back at RMAF and I almost purchased an Otello at that time. Nice guy, nice carts and an excellent vid, SLF.

Nice Nick, he would certainly be interesting to talk with. Besides the in-depth phono discussion, it was interesting to hear his comments about mentoring and regaining a generation of listeners and engineers.

My heart dropped into my gut when he said that. This is probably why so many of those "deluxe" 180g pressings are garbage.

That, and consumers won't know the difference (or care?) if they are listening on a cheap USB turntable.

And you kids with your beats headphones - get off my lawn!!

recycled pictures. I purchased this record in new in 1974, and it's always been a favorite. Have seen NY in concert a few times, always a great memorable performance.

Good tempo changes, good track-to-track hook-ups.
I enjoy these guys and how their albums are arranged, just like Jelly Jam even thought they aren't prog.

Going way back to the first post in this thread:
major 80's Disco here, Bronski Beat, Communards, and of course some Frankie :sign10: :blob7:

A night of cocktails, got some of my old disco singles out. There were more, after the fourth Black Russian I decided that I didn't wanna fool with the camera anymore.

Love Mr. Mustache's hairdo! The late 60s/early 70s- what a wild time it was!

Loooove the rubber chicken! They always remind me of watching Son of Svengoolie back in Chi- Town.

I want to be the first one to cast a vote for that Rubber Chicken being the official PHX website mascot ! :hello1:
