The pleasures of vinyl...

[Vapin' Joe]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but someone told me this morning that if you hold the corner of a new style five pound note onto a vinyl record you can hear it play. I've just tried it and it really does work, clear as a bell too.

That's just another way to knacker your vinyl then.

Vinyl works in mysterious ways.
Yesterday's Grauniad had an article about Laura Marling...

Mind you some turntables are a bit OTT too



BTW my Thorens has 1 of those 3 arms fitted to it now.

Still heavily into vinyl. Have about 2000 albums (No I've never counted them).

Got an LP12 TT but it's like Triggers broom, I think the only original part left is the platter, as it's had multiple motor and controller upgrades, a new chassis, two plinth, a new lid and sports an Origin Live arm.

I dread to think what it would cost to replace

Without looking it up I recall seeing that a current all-singing all-dancing LP12 will set you back about £23000 to £24000.

Don't think mine is worth that but it's definitely in the 1000s

The LP12 is still one of the best turntables but then it is based on a Thorens design.

I've got a PL12D. It must be as good, as it's got some of the same numbers and letters, he said hopefully.

One of Pioneer's better turntables.

I bought a secondhand Small Faces album recently. It sounded really good until it got to the last track and went into an infinite groove. Then I remembered why CDs became so popular.
