Hail again, right now.

The old ones are the best. I think this still sounds fresh:

Great system!

Huge clap of thunder to start the day, followed by hail battering the windows. For a second I thought a plane had crashed nearby.

Had a tornado trash a caravan not far away - caught on cctv:

Imagine being reduced to staying in a Hilton. I mean it's barely above sleeping in a cardboard box under a flyover.

Next week looks rubbish. Colder and windy with some rain especially for tomorrow.

Looks like we have to wait until May for some dry, sunny weather and even then it won't be very warm.

My turn to play this one:

Fagan reckoned it could be the ugliest album cover of the 1970s - although he admitted there was stiff competition from 'Can't Buy A...

My favourite Doors album by a mile, although first one is good too.

Indeed. Not as annoying as them taking down all the back issues of Stereophile. Hi-Fi News also got taken down.

Happily I'd already read them all :) but they were useful for reference purposes....

Really sunny here but the wind is chilly.

Winter not really fully released its grip round here yet.

Copy of Stereophile arrived but they sent me the December 2022 issue by mistake.

Can see how it happened as the covers of both issues are very similar in colour. I'm told June will be sent this...

The electrical signal from the cartridge is at a very low voltage ( with MM about 5 millivolts) so it is more affected by noise (mostly RFI) between the deck and the phono stage (which will amplify...

Seen Hawkwind live back in '88 (supported by Osirics) but don't have any of their records.

Suppose I should sort that out.

Got this on right now. 'There's an aeroplane up in the sky.'

This poor bloke is...

I think 'quality' is the wrong term.

It's a deliberate decision taken when remastering classic recordings to reduce the dynamic range to next to nothing.

It's not due to incompetence,...

You could just buy the box set and take it with you

Yes agree, some good stuff on 'Thirteen' but it's not 'Bandwagonesque' - which is an all-time classic IMO.

Here's an album that it's impossible to 'Play to death.'

No I don't think so as it's a line level signal.

Signal from turntable to phono stage is the most vulnerable to corruption as it's very low voltage.

I don't know but I'd like to think that...

Your first boiler suit should last a lifetime. The stains and repairs are like campaign medals.

Mine would have done but someone borrowed it in 1997 and I never got it back.

dry and reasonably warm today.

No rain forecast until Monday!
