I wuz going through my 'spare kit' with a view to putting a few more

...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!

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':

Errrr. Let's see now.

You apparently reckon that huge differences between individual cartridges is a
GOOD reason to use vinyl ?

Pure common sense tells us that those huge differences mean that every example
is likely to be highly coloured in fact and finding one you like is akin to a
lottery.


First, miked from my TL speakers:

LOL.

So, we're suppsed to imagine that a 'good sound' is one that survived your dodgy
speakers, your dodgy room acoustics and the influence of an unknown microphone ?

LMAO !

Is the word gullible tattooed on your forehead ?
