Yup - fit and forget. Using an SPU was the best decision I ever made with regards to vinyl playback. No more fretting about tracking alignment. Simply enjoy your records :)

Cheers Ben - easy transaction and great communication :)

Not sure this is the correct place for this - but watching Russ Collinson building a plinth for a Garrard 301 is a nice way to spend 35 minutes on a wet Saturday morning

No doubt the BBC thought they'd receive a kicking from the likes of the Daily Mail for not being 'patriotic enough' if they didn't carpet bomb the channels with coverage of Phil's death. Damned if...

It's a bit of a faff isn't it. I think I'll have a go at filling the stands (half way, 2/3rds?) and see where I end up.

I'll live with it for a few weeks and then swap back to the way it was and...

Interesting. I got the stands because I thought it would reduce sound transfer to the upstairs which it certainly does. Maybe I can't have it both ways :rolleyes:

Well, yesterday I got around to deciding on what to do. A quick Click and Collect at B&Q to pick up this

I wanted to buy some stands for my Tannoys for a while. Naturally I measured the the top of the speaker to see what dimension the top plate of the stand should be. I took the plinth off easily so I...

Wow! I've just spent the last 3 hours down a vintage HIFi brochure rabbit hole :lol:

Brilliant!

To be fair the seller has offered a refund if I open the package up and the the record is bust. He's got loads of positive feedback so I checked for the negative feedback comment and his response...

Surely that why it should be suitably packaged for roughhouse eventualities. This isn't even a padded envelope - just 2 flimsy pieces of cardboard taped together. It's like the seller just gave up on...

This is definitely FFS! - how can anyone with 98.9% with over 1000 seller ratings on Discogs send an LP like this?

Just been 'listening' to Max Richter's 'Sleep' broadcast on Radio 3. 8 hours without interruption! I often have the radio on very quietly all night and this was wonderful just drifting in and out and...
