Welcome !

FrameroftheBeast won't like that...

very witty Mogs x

Can't claim the glory there, Steve. John must have had a clearout when cutting over to the new forum software. We actually hit the spooky number a short while back, and there is actually a member registered with the above name!

What does he frame???

"Prints of Darkness"???

I presume you lot are familiar with

668 - The Neighbour of the Beast

Ooh! I've just realised that I'm 665, so I'm the Neighbour of the Beast!
I better turn the music down.

I'm sure i was number 700and something when i signed up the other week - has there been a Stalin style purge during the change-over to the new format? Scary

Didn't John tell you that his middle name is 'Pogrom''???

So John's a computer pogrommer?

It all starts to make a twisted kind of sense. I've made a terrible mistake. I want to go back to Hackney

Greetings, your Darkness!!!

And he framed it as well!

I feel an creaky old album cover competition coming on.

Come on all you old hippies. Dig out them vinyls. You can't have made them all into ashtrays.
Shop out the titles and post 'em up.

My mother (do you think they'll drop the bomb) slung out my vinyl. Till my dying day, I wont' forgive her for that.

Well... I still got a load stored away in a cupboard. Never play them since my amp packed up and may new(er) amp has no phono input. I tried a booster thingy but it doesn't boost the signal enough. Also lanquishing in the same cupboard is a Linn-Sondek turntable.£360 in 1976. That was about 6weeks wages at the time and didn't include a pickup arm or cartridge.(another £300. ). Albums were about £3.50 at the time....

I remember that particular price hike all too well...

Touch wood, my Technics SU-Z2 (with VUs!!!!) is still on the go. As are my Laser 100's (Ortofon Concorde Mk III cartridge worked beauoooootifully with the configuration). When I upgrade my "real" system, I want a Luxman amp and a pair of B&W floor-standing studio monitors. (Ebay, here I come...)

What inputs does it take?

Nowadays I am more into 'Home Cinema'. I still have a pair of big speakers (Nightingales - very nice ) but nowhere to site them properly, so I got a Bose cube system. The amp I have now is a Yamaha DSP - A780. More geared to surround sound. Plenty of inputs, 8 to be precise but not one for a turntable pickup.

I did plumb in my old TEAC open reel just the other week. I recorded some good stuff off FM radio. 'Live' concerts and such. I want to transfer them to CD. I also have an enormous collection of video tapes that I want to transfer to DVD. I have made a start, but I worked out that if I worked on this 24/7 it would take about 2 years.
