    Yep, it's her ok. I first heard her when she played on Julian Lloyd Webbers Variations album and, yes, I also own the Colosseum stuff as well. I think she's a dame now, well deserved. The album you spotted was a £1.50 charity shop find and it's extremely well recorded. I'd recommend it to you if you don't already own it.

    Hi Andy, yes I do have that album and all of her others too, they are all very good.
    I do like jazz/Rock. The gig I saw was at the Robin 2 Bilston. Chris Farlowe's vocals were amazing for a guy in his 70's.

    Tonights Update - The Lenco Reference Pt XXXXVI - More tyre' kickin, or further experimentation with vibration supression.

    The Lenco has been silent now for several weeks. I have got used to these long periods of waiting whilst and have come to learn that its part and parcel of doing old decks up. The tonearm has been away for two weeks and is number 11 in a stack of jobs waiting over at AO. So I started to think of ways the deck could be tweaked and then I realised that I'd not actually done much in the way of vibration supression for the actual motor itself, I've been reliant of the mounting springs to do the majority of the work. Now I'm not a person to waste materials and I managed to find some Dynamat from my Thorens TD160 project. I'm now in the process of custom cutting pieces of dynamat to be applied externally and wherever possible internally. I've spent so much time working on trying to supress vibration getting to the platter and cartridge that I didn't address the causative factor, the bloody motor . There is probably going to be several hours work here before everything is covered on the motor. I also get to create a little space in my cable spares box. I've included a little picture of tonights work. One hour and 12 individual pieces cut. This little project on the motor should pass another few days whilst waiting for the tonearm. Tomorrow I need to find some more 1-2mm sorbothane at work to continue with further experiments and tweeks, but thats for another update.

    So the motor is in bits again Andy No stone unturned mate . TBH I have a feeling that this may yield good results , although there's only one way to find out methinks .
    And there was me thinking that you were coming to the end of the road

    Not quite! The motor is a spare and I've been using it as a template to cut all the various parts. My journey is very nearly ended, HONEST!!! I'm just passing time until the tonearm arrives, it will have been gone for three weeks this Friday. So, I'm just super fine tuning stuff whilst the arms off and I have access under the hood. I've a few bits and bobs to do and then it's a few weeks of vinyl replay to assess all the work that's been done.

    Think you're right about the motor being a major source of vibration though Andy .
