    Vinyl spinning once more: Gyrodec

    The Ortofon 2M range are supposed to be an ideal starter for the Rega based arms, only had the 2M Red, found it a bit bright. The 2M Black on the other hand was lovely. Thanks for the advice

    NAD 3020 and other hifi hysteria.

    Speaker crackle caused by Marantz PM6004.

    Prog rock

    Hmmm 1984, i was born in 82 but hey for a prog chick i could make the leap. Larks Tongues in Aspic is good as is starless and bible black, think if i had to choose a favourite prog album it would be close to the edge

    Prog rock

    Help needed for turntable newbeie

    Come on now guys I agree with altruistic lemon, let’s keep this friendly, you wouldn’t speak to each other like that face to face and you have both been very helpful. I’m still weighing up various ideas including the RP3 jerry klinger :) I have a few more questions about second hand TTs...

    Favourite albums of the last 4 decades

    Great album! Think the overall madness of 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway' would just edge ahead as my favourite Genesis album though. mmmm love the prog
