I think (for practical purposes) its only the big sellers (eBay/Amazon) that collect GST for the Australian government. https://www.abf.gov.au/buying-online/buying-online Edited May 19, 2019 by furtherpale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of buying the Mofi from Music Direct. I think they own Mofi now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it may be well recorded. I already have As Time Goes By, The Very Best of Little Feat (album cover of Casablanca with duck) which we enjoy, so am looking forward to playing this on Sunday when back home What were your thoughts on this? I have the same on Mofi and think the first American press of Dixie Chicken is as good for SQ (personal favourite) recommended. Would like to hear what the speakers corner press sounds like, does anyone have a copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnwes Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Picked this up from the post office on my way home tonight. It There's a couple areas that are a little delicate on the arm (cartridge leads and anti-skate) otherwise it's a fairly easy install. Took me about an hour to get it bolted in and using the Shure test record set up to a "let's give 'er a spin" level. This is a huge step up from the RB250. I can hardly wait to get my hands on a Hana ML to top off my front end. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantan Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Not exactly today but a few days back. This almost made me weep and simultaneously tingle with joy. I was using my new TT and Ortofon 2M Black and it was an almost out-of-body experience. https://suldusk-northernsilence.bandcamp.com/album/lunar-falls The other one was this. An acoustic atmosphere to die for (no pun intended ) which you will see when you click the link. Just superb. https://nordvis.bandcamp.com/album/aftonklang-live-at-emanuel-vigeland-mausoleum. Everybody needs these albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 @rantan Nice to see your still a citizen of the Bandcamp universe Lnz(like me) and especially in the analogue one! You ditched didn't you and came back again. It's a funny world this hifi one. I've ditched CD's and my lovely tube output stage thingy that (I've been informed) I gave away recently. Currently sipping a red and listening to the CDP's replacement. Marvellous stuff. ...But I think of what's gone. No comparison anymore between a tube CDP and a fully fledged mid hifi streamer with a lot of bells+whistles. The one fall back? Vinyl. Can't be anything else really can it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No comparison anymore between a tube CDP and a fully fledged mid hifi streamer with a lot of bells+whistles. The one fall back? Vinyl. Can't be anything else really can it. I still have my 2 CDPs and still use silver discs (albeit much less often ) There is so much music not available on vinyl and I have 10 times as many CDs as LPs however..........................I don't get the emotional response playing a CD as I do when playing an LP and I am exploring new genres which I had not previously been aware of just like the two I linked to. As for streaming, every few months I think how I should get into it but I never seem to proceed beyond the thought bubble. With my response to vinyl like these two examples, it has been a very long time since music has made me weep or holler or jump or just sit motionless for an hour or two. THAT is what I missed for so long and it ( vinyl ) is the only game in town for the emotion quotient. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not entirely convinced it is Rantan(minus the @) (the only show in town) as the streamer I'm running which does stuff I have no idea about but does it all the same, is seductive. Both in ease of use and deliverance. It's not for no reason that the pointyheaded nerds who inhabit the digital section here wax lyrical about the format and the hardware.

rantan Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 For me ( actually, definitely Rantan ) if I want fast entertainment with no emotional interaction, I will plonk a silver disc in the tray, press play and then get on with doing the other 5 things I was doing before. When I want to connect with the music and feel happy /sad/angry/ nostalgic or prone to outing the air guitar. I sit in the sweet spot, tea mug in hand and drift off to places unknown or re-discovered, then it is vinyl and that is just the way of it boyo. I trawl Bandcamp and Spotify only through my desk top comp, in order to discover LPs to buy and to ensure I don't end up with any $50 duds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Saunders Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) Last analogue things l brought were 'Pete's Pylons' suspension replacement for Michell Gyrodec/Orbe turntables, this is easily the best upgrade l have done in a long, long while, taking my Gyro up a good few notches.
