  1. Deep Purple, in association with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, presents: S&M Live ZERO
  2. One of my childhood heroes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldier_of_Fortune_(1976_film) Seen again yesterday on TV...
  3. Got that CD during my Airforce-time in Texas. 😉
  4. Don´t let Your significant Other read that comment... 😆
  5. Speaking of old-school:
  6. I don´t listen to Hip-Hop or Rap myself much (except old-school stuff like Grandmaster Flash or Sugar Hill Gang.), but this stuff is just hilarious. How times change, in the 80´s people were "shocked", today nobody gives a damn.
  7. Yup, "...the root of Gangsta-Rap..." they say. 😈
  8. It´s Blowfly hour. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowfly_(musician) This one was hardly played, if ever. Not one small crackle on it.
  9. Since I like Supertramp a lot, I still have to get this one. As Your quote says, the music is quite different from what they did in the later 70´ies and early 80´ies. Interesting!
  10. Thanks George, had totaly lost track of the fact that make cable yourself. I have been thinking of making power-cords before, I did make my own speaker cables, but they don´t look as good as Yours... RCA I want to use to connect my CD player to the Kenwood. Phono cables are an option for later, when other things are done, I need space first, shelves!! 😉
  11. I´ve looked at the Mani. I´ve read opinions that say that the second (´22) edition is even better. It´s about 300€ in Germany. Well, I´m in no hurry.
  12. Heard this pianist the first time on Radio Paradise. A little melancholic, but nice for quieter moments: Eluvium - Pianoworks
  13. Just took the the time and hooked up the Dual 1218 to the Kenwood as well... What a difference! I noticed before, when I´d slung the M95 under the 601 (But still connected to the Marantz AVR.) an improvement in bass. But on the Kenwood – Bam!! So I have three TTs for the living room/ man-cave. Two go on the Kenwood, and I need a phono-pre for the Marantz. The Kenwood and TTs are to go on a seperate shelv, later on (Must build it first...). If I want to connect it to my CD-player I´d need a cinch cable approximately 3m long. Good idea? (Shielding/ interference...??) Your ideas guys?
  14. Doro Pesch and Band: I´m sure she moderated radio here in Berlin at the begin of the 80´s, but I can´t find anything about it anywhere. Maybe my imagination. 😆
  15. For the time being, only the one on the floor is running correctly. The one in the shelve I need to fix. New arm and cabeling in it, I also want to switch from a DIN plug to cinch for the cable connecting the TT to the amp.
  16. @MicroMara This one for example: https://www.ebay.de/itm/165874752842?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=707-53477-19255-0&campid=5338353465&toolid=20006&customid=s%3AGS%3Bpt%3A0%3Bd%3AD%3Bsi%3A100%3Bct%3A%3Bad%3A%3Bii%3A165874752842%3Bpr%3A%3Bcd%3A%3Bgc%3AEAIaIQobChMI86eG_uzL_AIVWwWLCh2qYgKaEAYYBCABEgL_xPD_BwE
  17. Yes it rocks, I can testify as well now 😋. But in this case we´re talking about a little shop near Berlin that specialises in bringing back to life all those heavy, old HiFi- contraptions we like so much. So, now I´m down that rabbit-hole... Have to look for a matching tuner, maybe. Those things are as expensive or even more than the 8150...
  18. I followed Your thread, very interesting! I`m looking forward to Your report on how they turned out in the end. You KG 3.5.1 EVO.
  19. I need a loan!!! 😰 The combo KA8150 - Dual 601 - Heresy sounds really good, better than with the Marantz. I guess the phono stages in the Kenwood are better.
  20. Yes, almost like new. Have You heard of Good Old HiFi ?
