    Blue Note Classic Vinyl Reissues

    So what is the general feeling regarding SQ of these? I have 'Somethin' Else' on BN75 and really enjoy the music so thought I would treat myself to the BNC. My impression on first hearing it was that the bass was better but the highs were a bit tizzy for my tastes. Now I find that I lose...

    What is the worst recorded piece of vinyl that has ever laid eyes on your platter?

    I'm slightly surprised by the comments re. King Crimson - In the Court of the Krimson King. Sounds fine to me , I've heard worse. I love classic rock but two well regarded live albums leave me cold due to the total lack of space/soundstage, Thin Lizzy- Live and Dangerous and Cheap Trick - Live...

    I did a talk on Hi-Fi tonight!

    That must have been fun! I would enjoy doing that too. But here's the thing... all of my friends are music lovers but none of them have the slightest interest in hifi. Go figure...

    disappointing music

    I've been listening to an outfit called Analogue and their album Test LP. It's not grabbing me but might be a 'grower'. Some chap warbles on about random stuff and then random noises occur. Most annoyingly I have a faulty pressing which seems to get stuck between tracks meaning I have to get up...

    What is the worst recorded piece of vinyl that has ever laid eyes on your platter?

    Black Sabbaths Master of Reality on the NEMS label, the dullest, bloated, most awful thing I've heard to date.

    Small ring terminals

    I'm searching for very small ring terminals but everything I have found so far is too big. Hole to be 2 to 3mm diameter. Anyone have a source?

    Mission 774, alignment questions.

    Thanks for the input everyone. It appears that I have the same issue as John Wynn, thanks for pointing me in the right direction Craig. It makes you wonder how many people are using these arms with totally inappropriate alignment. I will hopefully find time this weekend to reposition the arm...

    Mission 774, alignment questions.

    Following on from my attempts to get the Shure V15 111 singing I now have a 774 tonearm which by all accounts should work beautifully with the V15. Setting the arm is proving a bit puzzling! With the correct S2P distance I can't obtain the 229mm effective length because the wires that exit the...

    Introducing Rhino High Fidelity LP's

    Maybe they'll re-release the Black Sabbath albums with decent sound quality this time around. The earlier Rhinos were quite nice but the later ones on coloured vinyl sounded dreadful. There's money to be made if someone does it right.

    Extra long cartridge mounting screws.

    Thanks everyone. Ordered some nylon ones from Ebay complete with nuts and washers, pack of ten. I couldn't find ali ones long enough. I did find some titanium ones but minimum order was twenty at £70!

    Extra long cartridge mounting screws.

    This particular 774 has through holes, not tapped.

    Extra long cartridge mounting screws.

    Thanks Tony, I think ali is prettier but these will do for sure if I can't source ali.
