My theory is that someone pushed it deeper into the cavity where it got stuck, or someone took it out to use it in a more valuable technics tt with the same prism... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeloManiac Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Sure thing, a song with John Lee Hooker samples, is a problematic track on St Germain's Tourist. It has unintended cracks all through the track, reported by many others. A pressing error? My Pro-Ject TT can't play the track, nor can my Onkyo. So what about the linear tracking SL DL1? It plays the 'faulty' track without issues. Linear tracking rules! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my thinking cap on If you can’t get a replacement prism You can search out crystal shops for a suitable size Also search eBay for quartz prism as they are natural prisms - even if you need to buy a quartz necklace prism and cannibalise it as per photo below 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeloManiac Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I was 12 when I bought this album. It was the first ever classical album I bought in my life. I had learned about the 1812 Ouverture in the first year of highschool, and I was so impressed by it that I took the bus to the 'big city' to buy the record. Later, I became equally impressed, or even more, by the B-side: Serenade for String Orchestra. This was in the early 1980s, when they would put 'DIGITAL' on the sleeve to sell more albums, and when record shops still put stickers in silver or gold on the records they sold, with their address and telephone number... Klup, Bilbo, Musicmania: all the record shops I frequented are all long gone by now... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
