Hello, hello friends!  Been a LONG time since visiting.  Lots going on 'round here, however, taking a break from a home project and enjoying the updated space here on the second floor.  Spinning this classic to get back into the..........groove?  Yeah, I ment to say that .

Thanks Andre!  Ok, side 2 of U.K.    Then back to a ceiling paint project.  Hoping to return for spinning of vinyl a bit later this evening.   Have a good day/evening.

Came VERY close to joining this band !   However, the tour was short, and I could not justify leaving my work place of 35 years.  Music biz can be unreliable as I have learned.  😑

Question for the vinyl lovers. I have a Rega Planar 3, Neo power supply, with a Rega Ania MC cartridge. Vincent PHO 701 phono preamp with a NOS RCA 12au7 black plate tube. 

Mids and bass are phenomenal. The highs on some vinyl are harsh. Not all, just some. I'm very sure the cartridge is setup properly because it's not all vinyl. Any recommendations? Or is it the nature of vinyl?

I just remembered that my friend had a similar issue (but worse) and it related to isolation 

‘The tonearm vibrated at mid volume just from the sound waves 

So add that to the list 

 

So I got him to purchase a HiFi rack and add vibration dampening to all components 

‘Now all is well

Not of the vinyl , but the mastering from the sound engineering / mastering in the studio.

It´s always a pleasure to see Your listening-room. And seeing the U.K. LP reminds me, I bought mine some time back, but it came with quite a bit of noise... Must look, at some point, to find a copy that is really near mint...

@MicroMara you wen't outta the box on that one!  Soooo many forget about their influence on groups.  Gonna have to nose now!    

 

 

Wishbone Ash are a British rock band who achieved success in the early to mid-1970s. Their albums include Wishbone Ash (1970), Pilgrimage (1971), Argus (1972), Wishbone Four (1973), There's the Rub (1974) and New England (1976).

Wishbone Ash are noted for their extensive use of harmony twin lead guitars, which had been attracting electric blues bands since Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page had played together in the Yardbirds in 1966.^[1][2][3] Their contributions helped Andy Powell and Ted Turner to be voted "Two of the Ten Most Important Guitarists in Rock History" (Traffic magazine 1989). Melody Maker (1972) described Powell and Turner as "the most interesting two-guitar team since the days when Beck and Page graced The Yardbirds". Several notable bands have cited Wishbone Ash as an influence, including the Eagles, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Thin Lizzy, Metallica, Dream Theater, Overkill and Opeth.^{[4][5][6][7][8]}

Formed in Torquay, Devon in 1969 out of the ashes of the trio The Empty Vessels (originally known as The Torinoes, later briefly being renamed Tanglewood in 1969), which had been formed by Wishbone Ash's founding member and creative force Martin Turner (lead vocals and bass guitar) in 1963 and complemented by Steve Upton (drums and percussion) in 1966. Wishbone Ash formed when Martin Turner and Steve Upton set up auditions for a guitarist and subsequently ended up with two guitarists because they could not decide between the two. So as a result, guitarists/vocalists Andy Powell and Ted Turner completed the original Wishbone Ash line-up. In 1974 Ted Turner left the band, and was replaced by Laurie Wisefield.^[9] The band continued on with strong critical and commercial success until 1980. There followed line-ups featuring former bass players from King Crimson (John Wetton), Uriah Heep (Trevor Bolder) and Trapeze (Mervyn Spence). Wisefield left in 1985. In 1987, however, the original line-up reunited for several albums – Nouveau Calls, Here to Hear and Strange Affair – until 1990, when Upton quit the band. After Martin Turner was replaced in 1991, the band recorded The Ash Live in Chicago, before Ted Turner left again in January 1994.^[9] This left Andy Powell as the sole remaining original founding member of Wishbone Ash to continue the band on into the future.

 

Lot of good stuff of theirs out there!

Those crazy prices and average quality will drive a man to buy CDsssssss 

[AndreG.]

As I understand it, at the moment, vinyl is the new gold... Let´s see when the bubble bursts. You see lots of people setting up TTs and buying vinyl, just because it´s the hype. With very few exceptions, I don´t buy what costs more than 30€.

Indeed Dave , same here in europe. Because of that , many music lovers prefer to buy a cd and their prices moving up as well due to their higher demand.

I don´t think it´s a hype anymore , for more than 10 years the analog audio sector has been growing steadily.

Yeah, You might well be right. I just see a lot of posts and videos about people asking how to connect turntables to their soundbars. A lot of them were only ever streaming music before and now do a 180°, from total digital to total analogue, it´s funny. I guess we can just lean back and watch what happens. 😉
