I wuz going through my 'spare kit' with a view to putting a few more
things on ****eBay when I happened across my hitherto neglected AKG P6R
cart with is spherical stylus:

....and I thought 'better give this a ride to see if it's any good - if
not, I'll get rid'! So I rigged it up (by eye only - only saps use
protractors and scales :-) and bunged it on my GL72 'Victoria Sponge'
deck:

Then put on a disc on which I thought might give it a good workout!
******oso mio!!** Furry animals fell out of the trees outside, a car
swerved off the road, the front door fell out and the guy next door put
his house up for sale! :-))

Here's a 'warts 'n' all' snatch/track/snatch which will show you a) how
*not at all bad* this cart is despite its lowly spherical stylus and b)
why vinylistas larf when people bang on about stuff like CD's 'dynamic
range':

First, miked from my TL speakers:

And then recorded direct to hard disk to show what it *should* sound
like I suppose!!

Put your best cans on and wick it up as *large* as you can stand; then
take a grip of summat that bolted to the floor!! (Not for the Quad
Squad!! ;-)

(Tell me he's *not* saying 'Vegetables, Fresh Vegetables'....??)
