WHaT a sURpRiSE!!!?!

We’re doing ATP Don’t Look Back next year, playing Rosenboom’s Brainwave Music live.

One of the things I do in my job is measure brain activity - right down to individually spiking neurons. This requires a super clean signal, as the “volume” of neurons is very, very, very low and they communicate very, very, very quickly. Yet it can be accurately done using the same “dirty”...

I bet he owns lots of Steely Dan.

fuck, I hadn’t clicked into the link but that’s mental.

This is the old version, not the current in production one as far as I can see. I have the old Planar 2 (they’re called P2 and P3 now) and it’s great. Cloney Audio service them for cheap enough too.

You can buy little brushes for a few quid that are for cleaning your stylus. I don’t know the brand name of mine but it looks like this:

That’s the business. Will look into reviews later. Thanks gang.

I still think “Proper hi-fi” is a fiction when it comes to vinyl but there is definitely a sweet spot where the hardware doesn’t add more noise to the signal.

Basically I’m looking to ditch my regular amp (which has a phono setting along with the usual tape, CD, radio settings) as it’s big and ugly and I only use the phono setting. I run that into a Sonos Connect to connect to my wireless speakers throughout the house. So I just need something that...

I’m looking to get a stand-alone phono amp instead of using my full Rotel amp, anyone recommend one?

Better in many cases.

Cool. I need a new needles and don’t know where to start.

What cartridge did you get?

Blind leading the blind here but post away.

I still think that’s good for what you’re getting. Post a picture when you get it back.

I’m sure it will be worth it. I mean, you surely put a lot of hours in on a record player so it will only be fractions of pennies over the time you’ll use it.

I only use it to feed the turntable/amp into my Sonos One players throughout the house, never use the Connect itself to play music from online/hard drive, just line those up in each individual Sonos One depending on where I am in the house.

Same here but it would be about 8 years ago when I bought my record player (an old glass platter/wooden surround Rega Planar 2 for €200) and amp (some Rotel job for €50). I played it through an old set of Sony speakers for years but now have the amp outputting to a Sonos Connect which broadcasts...

Glad you're sorted @nuke terrorist! Also impressed at myself for having something close to a sensible suggestion!
