LMC-5

Luxman brought a new cartridge to the market, the first in 40 years... Reason: 'to correctly reproduce the full scale, dynamics, and harmonic overtones of a concert grand piano'. The Stereophile reviewer completely ignores this in his 'listening' section, though. Kind of weird... 

Uber-specialized niche product costing 2,695 USD.

It’s a little more than I would care to spend on a cartridge

Oh Yeah! I spent almost $500 and thought that was crazy. Hope it makes it through the hibernation it's in `cause I want it back!

On Sunday, I was driving from Austria to Belgium, a 14 hour drive. When we left in Austria, 1.800m altitude, with 7°C, as we were moving north (!) we saw the temperature steadily increasing, to 25 and then to 33°C around Frankfurt, Germany. When we arriived home at 00:20 in the west of Belgium, it was 28°C. Lots of traffic jams on German highways due to road works, with borders completely dry and then you notice fools smoking and shooting their cigarette away from the slow moving car's window...

Luckily, Sunday was the last really hot day of the official heatwave. On Monday the temperature dropped to 28°C during the day, and today it is something like 26°C.

 

Some Krautrock, great music for on the road: Scorpions, Blackout

With the quote "We're gonna feel the heat tonight"  (Dynamite)

Got both , I found the vinyl again by luck, it had disappeared in my collection for years. Tubelar Bells is also nice ..but AMAROK has the better sound effects.

Traffic in Germany is the ...

 

 

After my wife, doughter and son had recovered from CoVid 19 they were in De Haan and Ostende to breath some fresh seaside air as well as tripping around the beaches.On their way back they made a day visit in Brugge. Just for a few days they left but spent a good time there. Belgium is so nice .....
