Episode 121 – Original Upload 5.11.23

This playlist is 79% vinyl friendly. Not bad.  From the 1990s and certainly in one sense, solid as a rock! Dual’s Golden Stone turntable was as chiselled as any turntable is likely to be and if you wanted your music centre to blend in with your driveway or patio it was a contender. Checking in […]

This playlist is 82% vinyl friendly. Impressive.  Early Technics decks custom coloured, courtesy of digifunktechnics.co.uk. Wasn’t there a colour of Spangle a few decades back that nearly matched the above? Pimping up and beyond also available… and no, I’m not an affiliate for them. 🙂 Any track marked * has been given either a tiny […]

Episode 119 – Original Upload 3.9.23

This playlist is 87% vinyl friendly. Impressive.  ‘The Voice of Music’, Model 270-0 looking like Second World War in car entertainment the US Army never had. Would have been a tad bumpy. Currently a $185 eBay Buy It Now, out of Florida, USA but ‘missing needle or wire that allows music to play‘. Any track […]

Episode 118 – Original Upload 6.8.23

This playlist is 72% vinyl friendly. Not bad… which once again translates to ‘equal worst ever’.  Auditorium’s €3500 Auftakt turntable – begging for an ice sculptor to hack away at it. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms ‘tweak’/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a […]

Episode 117 – Original Upload 2.7.23

This playlist is 91% vinyl friendly. Near perfect. Even I as a non musician would recognise something here. Built in 2021 to catch the eye and $3,500 of one thousand Fender Precision Bass… errr, bass players – with its ash wood, 3-color sunburst finish and treatments transformed into The Fender x MoFi PrecisionDeck turntable. Step […]

This playlist is 87% vinyl friendly. Impressive. As a joke used to go a few decades back – ‘I had one of those… but the wheels fell off‘. RD Silva saw his Turnstyle turntable as being “As simple as it gets: The motor that spins the record. The needle that reads the record. The speakers […]

Episode 115 – Original Upload 7.5.23

This playlist is 80% vinyl friendly. Not bad. The portable turntable collection of one ‘strobemusic’, on Reddit a few years back. In the collective make up of some of these are the component parts to one I think I had, in the late ’60s, in between maybe using firstly the family Dansette then radiogram as […]

Episode 114 – Original Upload 2.4.23

This playlist is 77% vinyl friendly. Not bad. ‘Good if you love wood!’ From Australian company, Classic, sometime after 1941. Thinner in depth than it looks here, you maybe wouldn’t want to be playing anything valuable on that turntable, but the beast would look fine in a very large complimentarily looking log cabin. Nope, me […]

Episode 113 – Original Upload 5.3.23

This playlist is 74% vinyl friendly. Room for improvement. Looking like some early wall mounted intercom – apart from the ‘turntable’ that is – say hello to The TT-90 System, by Olsson. Space saving in certain circumstances but I still wouldn’t be a fan of the ‘vertical’ malarkey. Any track marked * has been given […]

Episode 112 – Original Upload 5.2.23

This playlist is 87% vinyl friendly. Impressive. Audio-Technica’s AT-LP2022 see through turntable, for when you might need to hide the fact you’ve spent $1200 on your hobby. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms ‘tweak’/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a bit dodgy, quality-wise. On […]
