Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures!" - Alex ...And when I were a lad working in a record...

One of the portability issues I've never managed to find a work around for was how to make sure I get ALL of the sand off my records at the end of a long day at the beach. The sunlight doesn't seem to be very good for them, either, and they kind of go out of shape. A friend of mine suggested I...

Picked it like a nose

Slatedeck audio can help. Loricraft can help, so I'm told. My attempts to converse with them were unsuccessful. Plinth design is crucial. Some materials , MDF , marble, make very very bad plinths. natural timbers usually pretty good, with isolation from external sources of vibration. Mine was...

I bought copies and gave them to friends as I felt it was the most significant music I'd ever heard.It blew me away.

Oh, alright, I just purchased and cleaned a U.S. copy of Electric Ladyland.Visible damage was superficial, but of course the two tracks that are well and truly physically f**ked, are All Along the Watchtower, and Voodoo Chile . A bona fide scratch resulting in a once /rev tick, tick, tick...

IIRC , it will have been a requirement on importing that receiver that it be fitted with a 3 pin plug for British conditions, including an earth to the chassis. Over here, the neutral line is returned to earth at the bus rail on your power distribution board. Removing the neutral link at the...

Sawing the earth pin off the power lead is not recommended. I did this with my Nakamichi 500 to remove an earth loop, meaning the cassette deck was only earthed through the RCA shield. I was 18, and it worked just fine as a solution, but was VERY VERY BAD, from a safety standpoint.

Not really up there with "Noel Coward was a Charmer, as a writer he was Dharma ", is it? :)

'Back To The Egg' is an album I have not seen for 28 years. One of PM's lesser known works, but I had a chuckle over it at the time.

Deep, very deep.

Well, yep, you did it: Turned the whole thread into a joke :)
