Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Still sounding great!
Got my new Delos today so both decks now running! Obviously not at the same time!!
My System:
Turntable - Linn Sondek LP12, Kore, Lingo 4, Roksan NIMA, Lyra Delos Cartridge, Roksan HDC-03 arm lead, Trampolin 2 base, Tiger Paw Vulcan, Denon DCD-A110 Cd player, Tag Mclaren DAC20 Digital to Analogue Converter, SPM Interconnects, Nordost Red Dawn Leif Speaker cable, Spendor S3/5R2 Target R1 speaker Stands, Atacama ECO 60/40 hifi racks, Sennheiser HD565 Ovation headphones
Well, I caved in.
After missing out on allthisanalogue's sale of his 1200G, I put a deposit down on a new one. Going to be a couple of months' wait though until I get my grubby hands on it.
Like my recent acquisition of Harbeth speakers and a big Rotel, I see it as a fit-and-forget solution, possibly my last, and certainly will be with me for a very long time.
It broke my heart to sell it but after buying a Linn Uphorik and maxing out my credit card, let’s just say I was desperate for funds!
HOWEVER, I'm buying another one next year to replace it as I really was enjoying it but sometime needs must. Richer sounds have told me they will do one for £2500. So hopefully won’t be without one for long.

So, one of the end results of losing a turntable and master recorder (almost 4 months ago) to a plumbing issue (and having a current and up to date home owners insurance) is that I now have a Technics SL-1200G sitting in a box. Sadly, I've no time to even consider setting it up within the next couple of weeks.
Quite excited about the "sound" of the magnesium tonearm. I had considered an SME for one of my other 1200's for that reason as well as the ability to install and balance an SPU integrated head shell cartridge. It appears Technics has solved both of those issues while keeping the genius helical VTA. In the near future I should be able to do a direct comparison between my modded 1200 (Mike New Audio bearing, Trans-Fi T3 Pro Terminator tonearm, etc.) and this new stock 1200G.
I can say this... ...the turntable double-boxed... is heavy! Not Goldmund or TechDAS level heavy but nevertheless noticeable.
[I did have to argue my case with the insurance company. If you ever find yourself in such a position be ready to file an appeal. Initially the amount they quoted to "make me whole" was quite literally, laughable. It was no where near enough to replace what was lost. It took two adjusters to finally get them to honor the policy. Ironically, they were ready to give me 4K for a Tascam DA-6400 because both the Tascam DV-RA1000HD (that I lost) and it's replacement, the Tascam DA-3000 are both discontinued. We agreed to settle on me finding a used (like new condition) DV-RA1000HD.]
Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
Always was. Always will be.
One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.
