A matter of equalisation!

A complex technical mystery solved and other oddities.

The quad 33 saga continues:

Well; having acquired a second Quad33 control unit in poor condition I was presented with a few possibilities.

What I'd really like to have.

Being a 'realist' with perfectionist tendencies whilst I'm happy with my existing set- ups however I often wonder if I should win the lottery or something similar, what I might spend it on a 'if cost were no option' in a vinyl/ high fidelity system. Interestingly enough, I think I'd probably build or buy a new house with one or two listening rooms optimised for acoustics. As I've written previously I think good room acoustics are undervalued overall.

A 'Shure' thing'.

Why vinyl?

I guess this blog entry touches on things that I've already mentioned, with some elaboration. When I think back on my passion for vinyl, sadly my memory of the precise chronology is starting to fade but I have clear recollections going back to a very young age. I remember 'raiding' our local dumps and finding old 'record players' and old 45's. In my childish state of 'non-knowledge' I remember placing a pin on a spinning record and hearing (acoustic) sound. I seem to recall that one of the 45's was of Engelbert Humperdinck singing 'The Last Waltz'!
