Marillion's first sold out....America concert....And Stanley Jorden..by himself....with Jaco Pastorius by himself....as the opening act.... and the m.v.c.c concert board... promoted Peter Gabriel's in 1982 at the Stanley theater.... It's was a cold night in Utica that evening as it always in Central NY during November. But this night was about to heat up as a sold out Stanley Theatre of mostly college students we in attendance. The concert was promoted by Mohawk Valley Community College thus this is the liberated name of the boot in the trade community. Peter used this theatre to his advantage as he open the concert with “Rhythm Of The Heat”, Peter and the band marched up to the stage banging drums from the back lobby of the Stanley. Peter wore the “Monkey make-up”. During “Shock The Monkey” This is the first tour he crowd-surfed during “Lay Your Hands On Me” . This was surely the highlight of the show as he passed right over me as I sat in the 12th row, a fan in attendance said. During "San Jacinto he used a reflected light off a hand-held mirror into the another high point for me. Peter wore the black martial arts type outfit with white knee pads. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farm out! A Theramin... I shot this short video when I played my first LP on the new set up... it sounded really great right out of the box with some minor tweaking. Now I have run into some issues and need to work thru them to get the systems firing on all cylinders. It seems I am picking up some really radical static build up from somewhere and I can barely listen to any recordings. I've been unable to track it down though I have a feeling that it might be the platter and the material used. It seems the platter, although made from aluminum, has a mat made from Vinyl... the exact same vinyl used to make records. Perhaps this is where the static build up is coming from. I 've never had issues with static before on any other turntable I've owned. Disregard the mess, I have a new monitor on the wall, an amp is out being worked on, nothing is in its final positioning... but it's a work in progress. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as new TT is grounded and yes a vinyl mat is new to me. You probably are already ahead of me but, try a round template of paper or something over the vinyl to try to troubleshoot.. Know you will sort it out. Thought you had LaScala's...cool! Edit: Video looks and sounds good. Theramin is a cool instrument.. Sci-Fi usually. Thanks! Edit: Occurs to me the static weather related?!

Schu Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 you can see the platter material here: it may be the source of my issues... Ive had a fully hotrodded Rega P5 and a Classic II (as well as various Thorens) I think the Rega P5 out fitted as it was was my favorite TT... the Classic II had to much adjustability. it's like a very fine watch that needs constant attention and adjustments. I listen to mainly what you listen to dirtmudd... I have all those LP's, the 801, UK live, half speed Close to the edge etc... but I also collect soundtracks. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reads like a comedy of sorts complete with thug like figures. Van Morrison got his acoustical guitar broken over his head when he wanted to do lp's versus 45rpm's... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 @Schu That is another fantastic looking turntable that I've seen put up here recently. It and your rig are fitting in that tough looking house you have(saw the flurry pic). Disliked the felt mat on my new tt because of my own previous experience. I found a leather one that I think is great, and a lot less than an acrylic platter. If I remember correctly the leather might be resistant to static naturally! http://hideinthesound.com/?product_cat=suede-mats Picked mine up at amazon for less, then saw that the updated version of my tt comes with a similar mat now! That and the zerostat works here. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the C Sharp... larger/heavier plater, longer tone arm and external speed controller. I did install the anti-skate and finished up some FINE tuning and the TT is sounding a lot better. Lots of dynamic range and pure liquid bliss. I have to tame some very very slight sibilance, but that might be just personal preferences. Even here in the desert I never suffered terribly from static induced distortion... I just wash each LP before play back with distilled water and I was good to go. I think I need to try another mat material but it's going to be a little tricky because that vinyl platter surface is not removable. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 For one that may not be hip to. Saw them once in JAX as recall a very good concert:. LaScala's sounding better with this recording over the Chorus. Last YouTube for me today: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
