    Quick fun Q - In Japan - should I pick up a new cartridge while here?

    Exchange rate will be helping - JPY has been tanking for the past year+ so a good time to go shopping : ) If you're heading to Yodabashi in Shinjuku might be worth popping into Audio Union for interesting used bits and bobs. Have fun in the countryside - I'm jealous. Was hoping to get back...

    What’s the deal with vintage MM cartridges ???

    I fitted a conical JICO N44G IMP SD to my M44MB replacing a generic Japanese made elliptical stylus. It's marketed as being compatible with M44-7/G/C/E. It actually sounded quite nice but it's tracking ability was significantly worse. Even with a bit of additional tracking force and...

    The best audio system on earth?

    Video doorbells?

    We had some shifty characters snooping round the stairwells in our block this week and one of our neighbours was able to capture them on their video doorbell which I thought was pretty cool. I hadn't really considered one before but now I'm kind of curious. Does anyone have any recommendations...

    A Thread for New Jazz

    Sounds interesting. The Seed Ensemble record was great. This album, titled Gratitude, was recorded at the Southbank Centre’s Purcell Room in March 2023 and brings her working band Seed together with the London Contemporary Orchestra and turntablist NikNak.

    This is great! I also enjoyed Mingus doing a bit of the old 'extended technique' lobbing stuff into the piano.

    I won't be buying one. But blimey! THAT'S a cable!

    Butthole Surfers

    Sounds a bit like Sepultura playing Deathstrike on the faster tracks. No bad thing! You've reminded me how much fun Fudge Tunnel were.

    Battling US imperialism

    Like a lot of workwear I guess. I've bought Carhartt stuff in the past from Daves Army & Navy in Manhattan for a quarter of what it costs in the UK.
