    Actually the real reason (and I am being perfectly honest about this) is the B7 is so huge I can't find any space to put my TT! So it is on the floor, out of the way.

    TIDAL makes my LP collection largely redundant and the streams win SQ wise 90% of the time anyway.

    That last bit must be a DEATH SENTENCE!!!

    Which cartridge are you using on it at the moment?

    I'm currently being a bit bowled over by quite how good the leetle DL-110 is.

    Ah !! Ok , I've read a lot of good things about them . For myself , I haven't used a turntable for over 30 years . I now use a file based audio system with a Rega DAC and I'm very happy with it.

    Enjoy your vinyl Jerry

    It's a good little cartridge Jerry. I always liked the 110 and the 160 even more (sadly discontinued now). Welcome back to the vinyl fold by the way. Will you be staying?

    Hmm, good question.

    For some reason LP playback really brings out the obsessive side of my nature ... I tend to get hooked on just playing LPs, and that wears thin after a while due to both LP defects and music collection limitations. The key for me, I think, is to be music-led rather than technology-led and give myself a healthy mix of minty-LP and CD listening. I'm getting it sussed reasonably OK at the moment. I suspect a good balance for me is about 1:3 LP:CD.

    Sadly, and not as advertised, the stylus seems to be largely lacking a diamond tip. So very distorted music emerges. But it seems to work OK apart from that so I've ordered a new cart for it - my 1st ever T4P p-mount cartridge!

    It was this article on t'web that made me decide to go for it - the guy's a definite fanboy for the beastie!

    No, I'm not expecting audiophile quality sounds ... but as a 2nd system 2nd source it looked like a fun thing to try.

    Ah, very cute! I'll be interested to know what you think of it - some of those little linear trackers were surprisingly good.
