it´s a small world isn´t it ? Streaming Radio Paradise as well very often for backround listening . Sometimes its running 10 to 12 hours a day

it's almost midnight , had already slept the last 2 hours because I was so dog tired, today I had again HiFi cable built, as the whole last week already, it was really too much, no time to listen to music had. I'm now catching up a bit. Under the ADC XLM III with a brand new JICO Stylus is spinning Nina Simone " my baby just cares fro me " a collection from her best tunes " released 2015 on ZYX Label Records

I´m too tired to spin any records tonight , there wasn´t any time this week anyway, because of too much work with my cable business. Maybe tomorrow ...

Brand New Album from the english Songtress Adele, was lauched in my 2022

@MeloManiac Hi Melo , the netherland PickupNaald Shop I know as well , good shop good offerings available there. Don´t forget ..An investment should always be in proportion to the product, so if you plan another Ugrate I would not buy the most expensive needle. You have already improved with the Technics that now plays above the Pro-Ject, that counts !

@Mossy bottom Hi Mossy, welcome back , just a quick chim´in from me to say HELLO to you, nice to see that you´re back. Just woke up , it´s 6:33 am here , will be a busy day today ..gonna see you soon again . Best to you George

I can't remember any U2 vinyl pressing that has ever been of good quality.

Even the famouse BLUE NOTE Record Label in NY was founded in 1939 by the two germans Alfred Lion and Francis Wolf , they escaped from the nazis

And you had a Sicilian grandfather, didn't you? So you also have European roots. Please correct me if it's not true, but I remember an exchange between us in my DIY Audiocable thread

Santana " Borboletta " sounds like new after cleaning it two times with the Nitty Gritty RCM

Well , all I can say ....I can´t live without physical media at all , but I also have the digital streaming medias in my set-up. I don´t compare their individual strengthen or weaken . Love them all .

AHA, so after more than 2 years I realize that many of you have european roots. I like that already, especially I understand now why you´re just as banged up as myself 🤣
