Hello everyone! No snow here in Seattle/Tacoma (yet), but plenty of grey damp clouds, threatening to dump buckets of liquid sunshine. A good day to stay in and try to do some cleaning while tuning in.
here in Finland I have a problem - no, it is not so much the time of the day (2am thu morning here), but the fact it is the same hour weekly world blues is on! So far, I have solved this by surfing between wfmu & drummer. Life’s smaller problems (or are they that smaller?)
well I like to listen to this live, so.... seems like I am on a permanent vacation (shit, I have seen that movie once and remember not that much, is it good...?) - actually sick leave;)
matt clarke, funny how much easier wfmu (and any other radio online for that matter) is to use with an age old computer with linux (for instance) than with some "modern" gadget like my partner's tablet I am typing this typo-mess with...
This is shaping up to be a mighty swell playlist so far, Glynis! Sounding A-ok through my 51 year-old Magnavox (not-so-portable) "portable" stereo, hooked up to my significantly newer ThinkPad. :-)
well mod mokka matti, I can tell salora , a finnish company based in salo made damn good turntables - I have one - until they went bankrupt... early 1980s? Vintage audio seems to be the way to go as long as you don't pay big money for equipment best suitable for decoration purposes not sound reproduction
@Matt: Mine is actually Solid State, but those Germanium transistors add their own color, and the air molecules around the speakers are certainly noticeably warmer from the speakers getting a good workout ;-)
@huomenta: I paid more than what I should have for my unit, but it's a vintage "all-in-one" AM/FM Stereo with flip-down (English-made) Collaro Micromatic record changer, that also has output for external speakers and Aux inputs. It was second to the top-of-the-line in '69 for the suitcase range, and the seller I bought it from had it thoroughly serviced by a technician before I acquired it. It's not a Technics or a Dual, but I have no complaints in the four years that I've had it - and Magnavox was still building quality products yet, before Philips started degrading the company after they bought it.
mod mokka matti, here in finland, a second hand record shop (some finns might be familiar with) also does turntable repair and sells old hifi at agreeable prices. I love it! have not used their services yet, my ownhealth matters have to come first, but will have to do so in near future. I personally am an old soul who prefers old music (without disliking new) and old cheap stuff that lasts a lifetime
@huomenta - I'm much the same with vintage gear - I was an Industrial Design major at Uni years ago, and have always been tearing stuff apart to see how it works - as well as repairing a lot of things. It's easier to keep the vintage gear alive than it is to bother with the "new" stuff that can't be fixed.
