billybob Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 About the beer, yes I prefer alcohol content. Case in point, between Belgium, Germany and Holland, which country is most welcoming to the English language to navigate.? Think I read Frankfurt the most with it as far as music clubs. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 THAT'S the pecking order I always heard about. Cologne had everything and more they used to say. Why? I dunno, never been there. lol Has to be wild though! Couldn't think of the name of it though. Always wondered why Berlin was number 2. They had the wall going up and down finally so maybe that was it. What's the REAL story George??? Got me wondering now. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to clubs and bars, no one can fool Cologne that easily: Number one. The city also has one of the highest student numbers and thus one of the lowest average ages. Vice party king is Berlin. The capital is popular with locals and tourists alike for its bar and club scene. Not least because of the prices, Berlin has the most affordable bars. Some of Berlin's clubs are even among the best in the world. Accordingly, Berlin is also ahead in terms of opening hours. However, this is not quite enough for the top position. Because: Measured by the number of inhabitants, Berlin only comes in 7th place when it comes to nightlife and the number of bars and clubs. Frankfurt has a lot to offer in terms of party technology. From super chic clubs to concerts to indie and rock parties, it's all here (#3). The Bahnhofsviertel is becoming more and more popular, old factory buildings have been transformed into stylish clubs, and long opening hours, which rank in first place, mean that the party mood is unstoppable. So it's not surprising that Frankfurt is also home to the youngest people on average, including many students. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the beer, Belgium is the best.

Mossy bottom Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Been so long since I played any Beck records, it's a shame it took his passing for me to start listening to him again. But in the 70's, and 80's he was a favorite and I did play the heck out of them. This one was one of my favorites and played hard. May need to be replaced. Let's see...

Mossy bottom Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Surprisingly, for the age, and as hard as this record was played, it's sounding great! A few minor clicks between track, but nothing to detract from the music. I love the note on the back of the album cover... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I was listening to it, Rod Stewarts vocals sounded so good, I got a hankering for The Faces. Another band I haven't played in eons... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeloManiac Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 After all my posts about Belgian beers, let's get back to vinyl records. Sinead O'Connor was huge in the 1980s-1990s, thanks to a Prince cover Nothing Compares 2 U, she became world famous. But then, she decided to tear up the picture of the Pope live on television in the US. After that, she was 'canceled' and booed at, and her career was dead... History would prove her right: Ireland's catholic Church was responsible for child abuse and murder of orphans on an unimaginable scale. Two weeks after the Pope incident, there was a live concert at Madison Square Garden where O'Connor would perform a quiet 'whisper' song, but the public wouldn't let her do that. Kris Kristofferson came on stage and told her 'Don't let the b*st*rds grind you down'. Later, Kris Kristofferson was interviewed about it: ... and he even wrote a song about it, and sang it together with O'Connor. The Lion and the Cobra is her 1987 album. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreG. Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 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. 😆 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang_flht Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Hi, For my part, I did the sales at LMLR / Culture Factory https://culturefactory.fr/ It's crazy, how I like these covers with beautiful cars from the 50s/60s, the Jazzmen had/have good taste ☺️ 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreG. Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 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? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one cd Truth...iirc. My lp Beck-Ola double from the 70s does not have the caveat I'll call it on the rear. A bit late for the heavy music warning for me... lol. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
