What a beautiful editorial. It kind of sums up analogue photography as well.
I like the 401 with unknown arm and jap direct-drive mat (Pioneer?) - and the later shot of what may be a Monitor-Audio direct drive with SME arm.
Perhaps that's what some vinyl needs, a trebly sounding SME 3009 with a good matching cartridge (I wonder how highly compliant the AT155 or better Nagaoka's are???
Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me
Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me
The amount of records this plant is now producing per week, is the same number that were rejected by quality control when EMI pressed 1 million records a week!
Anybody know what the pickup arm is, seen with the Garrard 401 TT in the opening shot?
