Over Christmas I recieved a nice little ift that helped me put this into context.
For a long time I have been a user of a Linn vinyl engine with a high quality MC cartdrige ..............I but the cart which was over ten years old went the way of all things of this kind: it finally gave up the ghost a few months ago. So, for Christmas I was given a modest Ortofon MM cart by a well wishing member of the family. Well being busy I have only just got around to mounting this into the Linn and listening to a few albums.
Now bearing in mind that this is only a modest Cart I can see why vinyl sales of Abbey Road are significant ....................The ability of this little device when properly set up to resolve deatail and express the atmosphere of the recording is amazing......................For get the remasters for a moment, the sound and he feel of the recording is so well expressed that it made my CD copies pale into he distance..................................Forget an mp3 that was nowhere on the scale!!!!!!!!!!!:happy::happy:

Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
