I just did a quick search of it there now, definitely will watch it. My daughter has Netflix so I will be able to get it. Thanks Gerry
They’re called MU-SOs these days.
So true. Marketing try and tell us otherwise but the simple truth is, Uniti range = receivers (streaming being the new radio), and Muso being music centres.
A rose by any other name…
Yes. Naim make receivers and music centres.
Do not seem to be able to find, the cassette slot on my Nova and MuSo.
Wren,
As you suggest, sometimes it’s a trimuph of graphic design over the provision of information.
We could start a new thread on photographs of the daftest text-on-background material on modern CDs. Pink-on-red, grey-on-white, etc., etc… It’s probably best not to, though,s, by definition, the photos would be hopeless! Alternatively, what about adding the brand and specifications of our magnifying glasses to our list of gear? Again, probably best not to!

badger1954,
Thanks for the message.
I’ve just looked at my CD copy of “On the Threshold …” and the booklet is a very poor replacement for the original. However, I did once hace a leather jacket almost identical to that of John Lodge in the photograph. Once upon a time, I thought that I was sooo cool!

Martin,
The Snackbar, the McMordie and the Whitla were favourite haunts back then - along with the Ulster Hall and the Pound, of course. I went to see Eddie and The Hot Rods in the Snackbar one Sunday night in 1977, organised, I think by EMS - the Esoteric Music Society. We thought that we were in the wrong venue as there were no seats! This was the begining of punk and the gig was terrific - not hifi, though!
Another memorable gig at Queen’s was Michael Nesmith on his tour promoting the 1974 album “The Prison”. Also terrific, but this time in the McMordie. Low seats, low ceiling, low stage. “The Nas” on 12-string and you could get high just being there!
So many others!

Ahh yes Brian, The Pound, they there was a place! It’s long gone now though. My wife’s fond memory of the Pound was going out to the toilet and having to push past the donkey in the yard!
Martin,
I saw lots of interesting stuff in the Pound, but never a donkey. I must say, though, that the loos were some of the vilest in the land!

That new cartridge does look, and I’m sure sound, the business.
Yeah - it’s continuing to induce wows for sure. About 50 hours in now and still improving. Think it’s optimum about 100 hours +……
The wood finish of your turntable looks sumptuous.
Thank you. It’s a SimPlinth from Simon Price in high gloss Indian rosewood.
I didnt either Brian, she had that experience before we meet. But it doesn’t surprise me!
Presumably, your Isoblue assembly was an aesthetic choice rather than a mistake.
How do you mean? It looks good and sounds good.
I thinkhe meant, given the color of the wall behind it. Tongue in cheek.
Flat front.
