What vinyl are you listening to?

[stevebrock]

Very nice prices indeed.

They're nice prices, but they're still not selling for some reason. Maybe people don't want to risk the long postal journey from Japan?

Can I be a bit forward and ask you what you paid for your MP-200 Jimbo?

I have the MP150 and paid aprox £230 for ir from Analogue Seduction.

I did see it cheaper elsewhere but all the cheaper sites were from Japan so a little concerned about postage, however comes in a sturdy plastic box

I wouldn't worry. Had one cartridge and one stylus from the US. Both arrived in perfect condition.

The only thing is that should you receive a less than perfect sample its far quicker to change in your home land.

You pays your money ...

regards

I think I'll be able to almost match those much cheaper prices, with the added benefit of postage from inside the UK.

Do you think the 150s and 200s are the best place to dip my feet in the water?

what are you asking BBB?

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

what are you asking BBB?

I can take that question in two ways.

Answer one: I'm asking if you think the MP-150 and MP-200 would be the best sellers.

Answer two: I think I could sell the 150 at around £180 and the 200 at around £240

Note to Mods, I'm not trying to sell within this forum, and neither will I be linking directly to any items I do sell in the future.

 

[stevebrock]

i love the MP200 - lovely cart

BBB, can you keep me in the loop regarding any possible Oriental carts, please?

I don't want to contravene any house rules here, but it sounds like an interesting enterprise.

 

[jamesrfisher]

BBB, the 150 has been reviewed recently but they people seem to recommend the 110 as an entry and then onto the 200 as the upgrade.

Augustine's - Augustine's

Breton - War Room Stories

Seth Lakeman - Word of Mouth

Thanks for the tip jimbo.

 

[stevebrock]

I went form MP110 to the MP200

The MP200 is simply a great cartridge, worth every penny IMO

BTW

Playing Depeche Mode - Violator on my new amp - a Brio R - all is well!

IF I can get some stock in and sell it, and IF I can learn to fit a cartidge to my turntable, I may get one myself.

my new amp - a Brio R - all is well!

What's that, 13th time lucky?

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

Bob Marley - Exodus

Red Snapper - Prince Blimey (Highly recommended album)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cP2WedALHmQ&list=PLAbvEala1eN7HDGTSh-8_ZB9Tn8rG54Q8

Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - 1984-1989

 

[stevebrock]

BBB you wouldnt believe it mate - no 4 Elicit R went **** too

 

[Charlie Jefferson]

Dog Eat Dog - Joni Mitchell

Or should that be drum machine eat drum machine. Some good songs buried under the Whitney Houston-style-zeitgeist production.

Copper Blue - Sugar

I always preferred Bob Mould and The Pixies to Nirvana. This Sugar LP is the definitive expression of their power-pop-rock-quiet-loud thing.

Beaster - Sugar

Loud, gnarled, layers of sweat patch guitar wrapped up in thick planks of bass heavy, drum sodden despair. Not very poppy.

Led me back, as is often the case, to:

Flip Your Wig - Husker Du

Then,

Workbook - Bob Mould

Forgive the verbosity, I've been afternoon drinking. Mrs. CJ and the children are away. Make vinyl hay whilst the winter moonshines.

 

[stevebrock]

Depeche Mode - Black Celebration

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

BBB you wouldnt believe it mate - no 4 Elicit R went **** too

Yes I would believe it Steve. Cheap rubbish.

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

I'll start a new list.

Bob Marley - Exodus

Red Snapper - Prince Blimey

Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - 1984-1989

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless

 

[stevebrock]

Leftfield - Leftism

Air - Moon Safari

Tangerine Dream - Ricochet

Latin Quarter - Modern Times

 

[Jim-W]

So sorry that steve's amp didn't work out after his patience and good Rega support. What a nightmare.

Agree with Charlie about 'Dog Eat Dog' - those bloody drums. Very much a lesser affair, I think. Love 'Copper Blue' and 'Zen Arcade.'

Today:

The Harvest Bag-Harvest label sampler.

The Pentangle-Solomon's Seal.

Lush-Spooky

Lush-Split. I still think Lush were massively underrated. This is one of the greatest albums of the 90's. Great guitars and how can you not be in love with Mikki.

[jamesrfisher]

Also have Lush - Split, but only on cd.

Bombay Bicycle Club - So Long, See You Tomorrow

The Beatles - Number 1s

Bellowhead - Broadside

Cannonball Adderley and John Coltrane - Quintet In Chicago

 

[stevebrock]

Jimbo, How is that Nag breaking in mate?

 

[jamesrfisher]

Going very well, combined with the Era Gold getting great detail with a nice warm sound. It had broken in well before I added the Era Gold and was a real step up, the Era Gold takes it to the next level.

 

[Marvindodgers]

Pat Benatar - Best Shots

ABBA - Voulez Vous

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Damn The Torpedoes

 

[Charlie Jefferson]

An inevitable conclusion to my booze and vinyl afternoon-evening.

Records sleeves scattered across the floor, spilled booze and the arm of the player stuck loudly in the end groove of Katy Lied by Steely Dan. 3am eternal.

Prior to that I remember playing:

Meddle - Pink Floyd

I saw it listed on someone else's playlist and thought I'd bring it out of it's thirty year hibernation.

Way better than I remembered. First track, side one sounded like a template for Neu's signature sound.

Bad - Michael Jackson

Hats. - The Blue Nile

Another oft-mentioned LP here. Bought it when it came out but rarely play it. It's too much a case of SQ and style over content for me, I'm afraid.

Live Rust, Time Fades Away and On The Beach - Neil Young

Is there a sadder sounding guitar break than the one on On The Beach's title track? Brought tears of remembrance to my eyes. Or was that the booze?
