Guest Old Man Rubber Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) Styx - Kilroy Was Here Tried to get a picture of the level meters on the tape deck as well, this thing is *loud*. also: DOMO ORIGATO MR ROBOTO!!!!!!!!!!! edit: ah ha ha I completely forgot the ludicrous story line that accompanies this record. An excerpt: Quote THE PRESENT is a future where japanese manufactured robots, designed to work cheaply and endlessly, are the caretakers of society. "MR ROBOTOS" are everywhere, serving as manual labor in jobs that were once held by humans...crowds hurl rock'n'roll records and electric guitars into huge bonfires..." Good luck hurling a spotify stream into a bonfire! Now, if you were slightly unhinged you might argue that Styx producing this record have in fact prevented a dystopian future without Rock'n'Roll and we should thank them. So thanks Styx!

Thanks for showing the amp, I have tried to workout what was the brand. Is the tape deck a Marantz as well? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the tape deck a Marantz as well? Yep - Marantz SD4000. Actually bought the cassette deck first (2nd hand dealer in Newcastle) then loved the look of it so much chased up an affordable but matching amp. Got another similar vintage amp (Kenwood KR-4010) and while the Kenwood has a better FM tuner, the Marantz SR4000 has just a touch more punch and a really nice phono input to let that Technics 'table sing. Slightly warmer tone too - although it has bass/mid/treble tone controls so a touch more flexible. Great little period rig for vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scuzzii Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Kicking off with this release. Thanks @Doppelganger Very dynamic sound, excellent sq. Quiet pressing. Reminds me of early David Byrne. Wrong way up - eno / cale 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal beat Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 The Smashing Pumpkins – Adore - 2014 reissue. Easily the best reissue of all the Pumpkins albums Corgan did between 2011 and 2014. I understand what Corgan was trying to do with the MONO vinyl release back in 1998 with his Spector-ish wall of grunge sound but the wall is a bit too muddy - this version just works better imo especially with the slower songs, but luv both. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sceeta Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Just picked this one up today. Absolutely fantastic sound quality on this great folky album. I heard it on cd and just had to track it down on vinyl. Mastered to perfection. Gillian Welch - The Harrow & The Harvest. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in high rotation in our room at the HiFi Show last year too. Cheers, Keith 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta say categorically that the vinyl blows the cd away. Definitely has quickly become one of my faves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, they’re all good tracks, but a few real standouts for me are Tennessee, The Way It Goes and Down Along The Dixie Line.
