    This is a familiar problem after a Friday night meal from my local curry house.

    Tonearm lock, how important to you?

    ..on cartridge value versus tonearm value. It's all just opinion. Some are just more opinionated than others! On the subject of tonearm locks, I use mine all the time (Audiomods arm). It's most useful when moving the deck around for cleaning/dusting/fettling purposes.

    New Turntable Imminent

    I have a series 4 arm with micrometer adjustment. Easy to set up, looks good and sounds great to my ears. Bought second hand for £450.

    UK Vinyl Sales Reach 25-Year High

    This item featured on the radio as we were eating dinner this evening. My better half looked up from the bangers and mash I had just cooked and said "It's down to you, isn't it?" I think she is trying to make a point about the amount of vinyl getting delivered...

    Pioneer n50a or alternative

    I bought a CA stream Magic v2 for £400 from Richer Sounds. This ticks all your boxes, and while it doesn't have a colour screen, the CA Connect app works well on my iPad, and it has received regular firmware updates. Onkyo have also just released a couple of new streamers...

    Auditioning for new turntable

    Yes ghost, I use a Cover Company RS-3 which I bought from the same company who supplied the deck. It was not cheap... It is very well made but even now I find it hard to justify the price I paid. There are companies out there who will build you a made-to-measure cover for half the cost of my...

    Is it time to go back to LPs?

    There is no right way or wrong way to go about it. Much like Al, I never stopped buying vinyl, but unlike Al I seldom buy CDs, and I have never bought a digital download. I do however listen to a fair bit of Internet radio which is where I discover a lot of new music. *music2*

    Anyone gonna buy new Metallica album?

    They peaked with Master Of Puppets. I like all of the first four albums. I tolerate the Black album being in my collection. The rest of it, I do not care for. Each to his own etc etc. I may may dig out the Black album tonight and remind myself how much I cannot stand "Nothing Else Matters"...

    a warning to all audiophiles

    ...have generally been great. One seller did end up with their account suspended indefinitely after failing to post an item to me. Funds ended up back in my PayPal account soon after.
