Citroen Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Yes, they're pretty flat, the circle is very centered and they work just as well as my other more expensive and larger (hence more accurate) bubble level. I like their small discrete size, so they can be placed on parts of the tonearm that my larger one won't accommodate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put some reference points on them 12 & 6 and 9 & 3, set the bubble perfect for 12 o'clock then rotate 90 deg to 3 o'clock, check, rotate, check, rotate, check, if the bubble is perfect on all four settings you have a keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bass on 'Guns in the Sky' is phenomenal!! This one should be stunning......you're wife has a point! Having said that, I have the half speed version of Peter Gabriel's 'So' and it is fantastic..... Edited November 14, 2017 by stevoz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably wait for Antics to be reissued at some point - can’t locate any decently priced now it’s out of print. the piercing guitars on Bright lights were fantastic on a proper system (instead of the computer) Edited November 18, 2017 by The Spider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevoz Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 Just purchased on ebay (Oz 1st pressing): and from the post office this afternoon, one of these little buggers, currently being discussed here: Very cheap cost and seemingly quite well made (in China of course) from what I can see, except maybe the velour pads that aren't entirely flat and have a couple of small areas where ?glue has permeated through and may not be soft enough for vinyl contact......may have to cover these with a better velour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spider Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) Radiohead: King of Limbs - this will be my first listen to this album....also means I've completed my vinyl collection (OK computer through to Moon shaped pool) Interpol: Our Love to Admire: very nice edition....now only Antics to get! Primal Scream: XTRMNTR: Got to these guys through the Chemical Brothers remix of Swatstika Eyes. Great album....any Scream fans out there? Is Evil heat in the same industrial/electronica theme?
