You might try moving the speakers a  little further away from the wall.

I use separate speaker stands and moving speakers around, front to back or side to side can make a big difference to the imaging and tone.

I used to be a Linn dealer, they trained us in the effects of 'tuning a room"

Which one?

It's the Rooftop gig from '69.

 

I like bootlegs. I picked another Beatles one up last weekend which has live versions of Hey Jude (David Frost show) and All You Need Is Love (when it aired).

As an aside, I find it astonishing that the DVD/Blu-Ray release of the Get Back film is an exact release of the Disney+ series. In other words, no extras.

Surely one thing that it was crying out for, was an unedited version of the rooftop gig with no cutaway to the street and Apple reception.

 

I'll probably double post this in the Beatle thread too.

Only just found this thread. I must admit to not being a proper vinyl junkie. I love music more than anything and can see the appeal in vinyl but never properly got into it,  I can’t quite commit to it. Having said that I own a junk/antique shop with a small (but growing) vinyl section. Picked up this strange but amazing compilation last week.

Picked up these too. Morrissey is a cvnt but he sells well and I’m nothing if not a capitalist scumbag….

Smiths records still hold good value. I shop around but some of their singles don't shift from the £20 mark. Same with The Cure.

I know Daggers has answered this but Arctic Monkeys were on a Jools Holland special and he asked them the same question.

 

Matt Helders said it was a photo he'd taken from his flat. Apparently he sees different stuff on the roof and that lone car was an example. With the doughnuts too.

I’ve been waiting for this day for some time…. I was lucky enough to be gifted some seriously lovely hi fi kit from my step dad

 

After many months of frustration and effort, I got it all working today!!!

 

Enjoyed a massive listening session today of many an old LP…. Finished off with Joe Henderson - A mode for Joe

 

carribean fire dance is simply epic…. I have the original blue note pressing that I paid way too much for as as a student  in the early 90’s…

 

Blue Note cover art is famous for a reason

On the Technics SL1210 deck (remember those?)

 

fired up by a valve amp

That amp is a thing of absolute beauty. Sadly let down by the turntable.

The amp is stunning….  I was very grateful for it…. Paired with some Ruark speakers too

 

Technics SL1210…. It’s a proper audiophile deck…. I know it has the rep as the DJ turntable, but for the money not much lives with it….
 

we’d all love a Linn LP12, but there’s always a law of diminishing returns on these things….
 

Anyway, after a ton of research i plumped for SL1210, which had the added bonus of reminding me of the odd occasion I DJ’d in my twenties!  It sounds mint to my ears!

I was being a little harsh apologies, the 1210 is a great turntable indeed .

But itself is a very expensive item ( will last forever mind).

And love the blue note👍👍
