My Gawd - now that's what you call a Real Man's turntable platter!


Nice system!

Hi Steve, welcome to the forum from me as well

Love the Crusaders, always wanted a pair after listening to them for a few sessions a good few years back. You need to be single or childless or have a lock on your music room door though, I have seen quite a few midrange domes & tweeters looking decidedly worse for wear

Kids & fingers wondering what this does

Hello and welcome to the forum from just up the A19!

Lovely looking system, i used to run a pair of talismans many moons ago on long term loan from a mate, sadly i was skint when he wanted to flog them and i've often wished i'd been able to beg/borrow/steal the cash as i loved them.

i see you're a valve man, I'm all solid state but vive la difference!

Theres almost enough north east members for a bake off/gathering/piss up now.

I've been in front of Steve's system on more than one occassion and it truly sounds as good as it looks

[stupinder]

Very nice kit, Steve. If I ever get my sorry arse back to the UK i'll have to pay you a visit :-)
For those that don't know, Steve organises what looks to be a really great prog rock festival....

[Floyddroid]

hey a North East bake off, how great would that be? Lets organise one?

I could probably host a half dozen members or so at my place on a saturday afternoon/evening with some 'light' refreshments, how does that sound? unless you had something bigger in mind. I'm in gateshead near Heworth.

We could take my all rega system as a reference point then ppl could bring their own bits and bobs as suits them. We can take it in turns where everyone gets a spot to play their music and show off their turntable/dac/cdp/valve amp/whatever. Emphasis would be more on the social, hearing some good tunes on some nice gear rather than an exercise in measurement or hifi top trumps!

I've started a separate thread here for folks to register their intrest: http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?t=20282

Btw... whats this prog rock festival you are involved with? If you get a chance come see my band, Prism (a floyd tribute)... when we're playing around the NE. I could post some vids and stuff but dont want to crap on this thread as I've got another one in 'Musical Compositions'
Cheers

I've noted your interest for the bake off mate, let's see how many takers we get and I'll pm folks. Might be end of Oct so hopefully plenty notice for people.

The prism don't have owt in the diary for now as we're working on a new set but should have some gigs sorted by the end of the year.
