Kenny Burrell Midnight Blue, Art Peppers Straight Life and Miles Davis Kind Of Blue, all excellent records and worth investigating, although not strictly in accord with the OP request, still for me very accessible jazz recordings

Thanks Richard

It was the finger recesses and the inflation that was kidding me into thinking I was looking at the wrong board.

Thanks again.

Not wanting to teach your granny to suck eggs, but make sure any digital scales you buy are not made with ferrous metal otherwise the magnets in the cartridge will give a false reading as they are attracted to the ferrous weighing scales. Andy (who has been tracking his cartridge at 2.0g when it sho...

Prompted by Stratmanglers comments on the other thread list your favourite live album.

By enlarge Live albums always disappoint me, but my "best album" has be to Woodstock the original.

Yeah every time I think I have my difinitive 5 Albums I think of something else and it all changes. Ok this is the current list for tonight but it may change by morning or in a few minutes :shock: Dylan - John Wesley Harding Nick Drake - Fruit Tree ( I know its 3 albums) Woodstock (Ditto) Capercaill...

Just supposing, for the sake of argument, how do I tell the difference between grease and oil bearing 301s, and does it really matter? Andrew I don`t profess to be an expert but I am learning all the time, so here`s my two penneth. Early grease bearings have a hammertone silvergrey hammerite type f...

Gary, From your description I suspect your platter bottom edge is interfering with the chassis top plate as it rotates. This would explain the ringing (could that be caused by scraping?) as you rotate the platter by hand. I would check you have remounted the bearing exactly as it was at time of rem...

Off the top of my head, I think the offset angle is a function of the pivot to spindle distance and arm length. Is there a particular reason why you want to change it so much? I would have started with the makers recomendadtion myself. To be clear the offset angle refered to is the angle a line dra...

I have two available arms a SME3009 Mk 2 and a Hadcock 242. The Hadcock specifys an offset angle of 23 degrees while the SME has a minimum angle of 20 degrees. My question is how important is this angle to performance and could the angle for the Hadcock be pushed up to say 37 degree provided the car...

Thanks Nick I understand now. I am fairly open on phono stage suggestions at the moment. I still have that Decware that hums (Still a bit to much for comfort) But I am currently using a little Cambridge 640p SS. Current cartridge is a Sumiko Bluepoint Evo 2 which has a reasonable output about 2.5mv ...

Thanks chaps. Gregs suggestion of the WAD ones seems sensible and readily available, and good reason why not to buy these? Not quite sure iI fully understand the different ratios and the cartridge matching bit, which I need to make sure before I buy anything :) Being realistic I suppose this would b...
