what are you listening to?

Yello - One Second
Cleaned up the Thorens TD-165 and installed into the cabinet. It has a Shure M91ED cartridge with a generic stylus. I also have a Jico stylus to test, from memory it wasn’t as smooth as I would have liked, but I was not using the original turntable mat back then. So many variables. This Shure is big on bass, more fun to be had testing.

Pedro Comacho sells peanuts outside the Tropicana Club....

Great album.
 
Someone's TD-160 Super needs to have a run-in with a can of black spray paint to looks its best. But The tunes probably sound good from that machine. Some good choices there.

I've been doing the radio with XPN playing the top 885 songs from this century. I know almost all the artists, only recognize a small percentage of the songs by name.

Then "Echoes brings together a wide array of styles, from acoustic to electronic, jazz to space music, the avant-garde to rock. Echoes is a sound that is cross-cultural and trans-millennial, merging cultures and forms, technology and tradition, the ancient past and the possible future." Playing selections from the top albums of the year. Not sleeping last night I got to hear London Grammar 3 times in the number 4 position. Was a good show.

Then today driving had something in the CD Changer I liked. I'll check on that.

Gonna get to the records soon, gotta look over the needles I have since I got an inspection microscope the other day and know how to use it.

I have setup this Hitachi HT-50s direct drive for playing less than perfect records that have not been cleaned. Also 45’s, it is the only table I have with auto return. Standard cartridge with new stylus. Not broken in yet.
