Hi Phil!
Lovely track, and yes a fine album, up there with his very best.

I wouldn't let that stop me from visiting the gallery.
I had to look it up who it was, and am none the wiser, but will take your word on it!

The Portrait Gallery just behind the NG is also fabulous. Went to see Jenny Savilles exhibition there in July

I havent been away, just had a few disruptions and a healthy break from social media
Will be dipping my toes in again occasionally
Hope you are keeping well

Well there is no need for apologies 🙂
just share the love...

I’m used to them being on a hard floor so no issues. I’ve never had them on carpet so can’t say how that effects the sound

Standard Rega P6 with a Goldring Eroica MC cart.
I'm really happy with the whole system tbh and cant see a need to change any of it apart from valve and cartridge replacements as they wear..

There is gold in the 80’s especially the first half

Yes I have. They really need some space around them for optimum listening but this room is smaller than the one in the house I moved from and I don’t have the luxury of having them 2ft out from each wall.
Still play well enough though…

That's an all time favourite album for me.
Amazing band live too, surprised you've not heard it before but better late than never

yes!

Cheers my friend!

926s Nigel. 12 years old (I think) and still doing the job..

Thanks Phil! Just needs some colour, haven’t found anything suitable as of yet

Cheers Dave!

Thanks Sally, it’s like being introduced to music all over again

Hi RG. Yes that’s correct. Zero noise and hum via the speaker but a very slight hum (perhaps to be expected) from the power supply unit if you stick your ear up against it.
Also I should probably change the valves at some point this year as I have not changed them since ownership
