I had my LP-S cartridge checked and tweaked by Dom at Northwest Analogue, so been listening to a few good albums to see how it is. It now sounds excellent with wonderful clear resolution and open soundstage, worth every penny, and the diamond shows no sign of wear.Originally Posted by Barry

Hi Dom, not so familiar with their first album, although I heard it many years ago, is it worth getting in your opinion?

I used to have 'Flying Teapot' but it didn’t stay with me for long. Very disappointed, and so I never pursued any of their other recordings.

It’s less ‘wigged out’ than Camembert or the Teapot trio, but quietly points the way to things to come… I’m a bit of a completist when it comes to Gong so perhaps the wrong person to ask purchase advice ;-)Hi Dom, not so familiar with their first album, although I heard it many years ago, is it worth getting in your opinion?

Long time showroom demo disc, seem to have managed to avoid buying this for 35 years but could not say no for two quid:
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.
