    Default Tannoys in Tokyo

    I wonder if this type of bar could happen in the UK?

    Merchant Tavern in Shoreditch used to run nights playing on reel to reel through Tannoy Westminster's.

    Been there a few times but not really an audiophile crowd. Just a lot of far too neatly/far too un-neatly trimmed beards . . . .

    Had a nice rotary mixer there too.

    Not sure if its still going but I would love to set something like this up one day.

    Vinyl, coffee, big speakers and good beer on tap.

    wow .. would love to go there
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    Hmm

    Garrard 301s with early (read agricultural!) Ortofon arms and A-type cartridges. Wonder what the amplification is?

    So how can there be such extreme polarised opinions of the Tannoy sound?
