    Default Getting back into vinyl

    Hi

    Having built up a great streaming system (Sonos Connect into Chord Hugo into MFA Passive Copper MK 2 into ATC SCM50 ASLT) I am now looking to get back into vinyl and play some of the albums I have kept hold of from the 80s.

    My daughter claimed my Rega 3 from circa 1986 so I have bought a Garrard 401 which has been serviced and re-plinthed by Loricraft. I am using an SME 3009 series 2 non-improved with a Shure M75EJ mk 2 that came with the Garrard but feel I could be doing better. Current phono amp is an Arkless.

    Used to be a regular visitor to Hifi Wigwam but not enjoying it so much since the recent commercialisation and find myself on this site a lot more so would like to get more involved

    Look forward to chatting to some of you over the next few months and years

    Regards

    Steve

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Just down the road from the Tonbridge Audio Jumble then? It's on next week at The Angel Leisure Centre, Sunday.

    Anyway. Welcome to AOS Steve.

    I'm sure you'll enjoy being here.


    Enjoy the forum,

    haha indeed

    It is actually Whitwood to be fair not central Castleford.

    Re Audiojumble - I went earlier this year but can't make the forthcoming one unfortunately whihc is a shame as I got some great vinyl last time. And got to see some really crusty old amps
    My 16 year old daughter was not so keen though.
