    Brexit :(

    Congrats on keeping May! You guys are living the dream

     

    There is no obvious alternative at present.

     

    Corbyn is really showing his true colours this week (a kind of muddy brown / grey)

     

    He is great at telling other people that their opinions are shite without actually bringing any of his own to the table.  The fact that he doesn't want to meet with Maybot to discuss Brexit tells me that he has no opinions of his own that are worth discussing.

     

    Saying that "we are a democratic party and our members will decide" is horseshit and I hope the members soon decide to boot him out and find someone with a spine.

    sounds like my kind of thing. thanks for sharing. already loving that opening :w00t:

     

    this was really good. listening again

    Thank you kindly. More on the way soon!

    New Technics coming?

    The price and release date of Technics' recently announced SL-1200 MK7 turntable has been revealed.

    The details arrived via What Hi-Fi, who are reporting that the SL-1210 MK7, which is sold in Europe and the UK, will cost £899 and €1000 while the SL-1200 MK7 will retail for $1200 (the decks are identical apart from the name). They will be available in May.

    The price is much less expensive than the SL-1200G announced in 2016, which was targeted at an audiophile market rather than the DJ culture that built the deck's legacy from the '70s through the '90s. The new product sees the brand attempting to pivot back towards DJs, but it remains in a higher price bracket than competitors like Pioneer and Reloop, whose SL-1200-inspired turntables are mostly manufactured by Hanpin in Taiwan.

    Looks like a technics turntable!

     

    Interestingly, the reverse play function has been added.  Whilst this is nothing new (my old Numark's could do this), I did occasionally find it useful.

     

    This technics probably has better vibration dampening, so hopefully we will see a bunch of these being reintroduced in clubs as vinyl seems to be on the rise again.

     

    I would want to compare the spec to my Pioneer PLX-1000s, which have greater pitch variation (+/- 50%), but no reverse play (diddums)

    My experiments will go here

    [redacted due to getting released]

     

    I recorded this "live" straight into my LS-P1, warts and all.

    All I have done is normalise the volume then trim and fade the start and finish in Audacity.

     

    Quite pleased with how this turned out given it was a fairly spontaneous session - it is a harrowing "rhythmic noise" piece lasting almost 20 minutes, a dystopic trip into some dark parts of my brain.

    The public money spent on that 'hardcore 50%' of 'benefit dodgers' is a spit in the ocean compared to money not received from rich tax dodgers

    And not just individuals. The big businesses like GOOG / amazin / Starfucks etc

     

    Spend your hard earnt shillings with small businesses and as locally as possible.
