Nice new setup & TT Nolan!

Great looking room...Roche makes beautiful stuff...almost bought some a few years ago.

There are lots of great record shops here...you may want to pick up a record cleaning machine if you buy a lot used...makes it a fun job to do a bunch of cleaning...then sitting down and listening.

Cheers!

Thanks!

I have thought about a record cleaning machine. I have a cleaning kit, but have been really lucky with records I have already bought. Normally they are mint, and just need a quick brushing with the static brush. I have pretty much told myself to only buy mint or near mint records. Makes the hunt a little more fun, and since original B&O cartridges arent made and hard to come buy I want to take good care of the two i have.

Last night the plan was to watch movies...but we ended up going through 3 bottles of wine and playing records until 2 am!

Check this picture out... I have a high rez version im going to get professionally printed to hang above the TT.

It has a S&M type of look and feel to it. A mid evil torture device for a record. It would be interesting to give something like that a try to hear it, and see the immediate effect it had on a record. One ting is for sure there is no way you would ever have to replace the cartridge because of using an imperfect LP.

I wondered about that, but I face north so no direct sunlight, and they are always cool because the airconditioning vents are right above them. Do you still think I should move them?

I would still move them. Records should be stored in a sturdy rack regardless. Plus that little nook will fill up quicker than you know it. 8)
