Episode 106 – Original Upload 7.8.22
This playlist is 90% vinyl friendly. Impressive. ‘The Planet’ turntable. Put together in 2015 by a Lego loving lad named Hayarobi, using 2405 pieces, the only non-Lego part being the Audio-Technica 1Ea cartridge. He must like Swiss Rolls. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms ‘tweak’/edit/chop […]

This playlist is 82% vinyl friendly. Impressive. As it happens, a Numark PT01USB Portable Vinyl-Archiving Turntable Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms ‘tweak’/edit/chop and the occasional tune sonically might not sound quite how it did, originally… and note, there’s a few expletives uttered in this […]

This playlist is 77% vinyl friendly. Not bad. A 1970s Patrice Dupont-designed Philips 303 UFO record player. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms ‘tweak’/edit/chop and the occasional tune sonically might not sound quite how it did, originally. Lyric of Playlist 104… A fiery young Weller […]

and it’s 91% vinyl friendly. Near perfect Grand Prix Audio’s Parabolica (‘inspired by and built like a Formula 1 race car’) is named after a turn at Italy’s Monza circuit, so if Formula 1 floats your boat… $16,500. Tonearm extra. 🙂 Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger […]

PLAYLIST 102 uploaded April 3, 2022 and it’s 73% vinyl friendly. Room for improvement. 🙂 Was this design off the back of a vinyl record cleaning gizmo shaped likewise a few decades back? Dunno. Looks a bit like a nail clipper or, suitably… a USB stick! Coming in at less than $80, nobody will care. […]

PLAYLIST 101 uploaded Mar 6, 2022 and it’s 93% vinyl friendly. Near perfect. Nothing to do with Emerson, Lake and Palmer, the ELP Laser Turntable may be for the younger generation who grew up knowing nothing but CDs… oh, and who have around £10,000 to spend! ‘In theory, it’s the perfect turntable because it uses […]
Play >Episode 100 – Original Upload 6.2.22 – 7″ Heaven!
PLAYLIST 100 uploaded Feb 6, 2022 Celebrating show #100 with 4hrs of 21st Century 7″ cheeriness! Unsurprisingly then, this one is 100% vinyl friendly. The occasionally-mentioned-in-these-parts big bunch of early 60s singles that arrived with a second hand Dansette my dad bought and the arrival of two of the Beatles’ (She Loves You and I […]
Play >Episode 99 – Original upload 2.1.22
PLAYLIST 99 uploaded Jan 2, 2022 and it’s 88% vinyl friendly. Impressive. As of 2018 or so Audio Consulting’s R-evolution Meteor-Stealth turntable was arguably the third most expensive turntable on the market. At $176,000 there sure as hell needs to be some back story – so, this is it and being a Switzerland-based company it […]
Play >Episode 98 – Original Upload 5.12.21
and it’s 93% vinyl friendly. Near perfect. Playlist 98 I can’t remember if a means to play vinyl upright came before or after some of the gadgets that cleaned vinyl went with the same idea (in the ’70s?) but this Gramovox is a cheap and cheerful modern day version of the former. ‘Floating’ seems to […]
Play >Episode 97 – Original Upload 7.11.21
and it’s 74% vinyl friendly. Not bad. The Jive Turntable. Roughly £140 for this bright and breezy set up, so don’t expect wonders. ‘Entry level’, I think they call it… and that set of button controls reminds me of some remote/zapper used for the TV… or something else I can’t quite place. 🙂 Any track […]
