@Dreadatthecontrols

I’m auditioning several over the coming weeks to replace my Naim Prefix,

Thanks for the info’ Dread. I’m interested in your findings for my own possible future changes.

[AndyP]

The Lounge Lizards

Teo Macero produces and Peter Saville designed the sleeve - the band do the rest.

[Neil-26]

Jason Isbell - Southeastern. Excellent Americana.

[Nagual]

[Fatcat]

Not the HiRes special edition master version. That sounds weird.

Bit of 'eadphone 'ackney E8 noise disco from
Throbbing Gristle - Heathen Earth

Dear old Genesis P…
I sometimes stop by their old place just to see if the mediaeval door studs are still there. They are.

[Rafael]

To start the day…

Keb’ Mo’ - 2022 Good To Be…

Earth Wind & Fire Head To The Sky / 2004 Sony / Japan Promo CD / MHCP400

A gentle but funky start to a Monday, something to raise the spirits and soothe the soul.

Skull Snaps.

Funk/soul courtesy of Mr Bongo label. A sampler’s delight.
The cover couldn’t be less indicative of the music contained therein.

I think in your case the first consideration should be the Karousel bearing

Thanks Dread. Since (and a fair bit before) purchasing my LP12 I read countless articles and comments about the permutations of the upgrade path.

What’s your take on what a bearing upgrade would bring? In layman’s terms, please, if possible.

[Dreadatthecontrols]

It significantly lowers the noise floor, allowing you to hear more into the music. It’s probably one of the most cost effective and profound upgrades yet to an LP12.

I live and work quite near Moorgate Acoustics/Class A, so that upgrade path, amongst others, is possibly and worryingly(!) quite easily trodden!

Soutak - Aziza Brahim.

A very beautiful album melding traditional North African, Cuban, Spanish musics, with a very polished crossover production style - in a good way.
