I have a Dual 1225 which I have set up to play 45 rpm 7 inch singles. At the moment it is equiped with a Dual DMS 210 with an after market stylus which is equiped with a 0.6 mil spherical stylus. I track this at 2.6 g and it does a very good job of handling my singles collection. .......However...

"!I don't know, it might just be me, but AK does not seem to be the place to discuss "how life might have been if..." We tend to talk about tangible specifics, like refoaming speakers, rebuilding vintage amplifiers, and "what are you listening to now?" Quote from a member

This is one of the biggest selling albums of the 60s, clearly people bought it and liked it , what you opinion of it, is it still a good record ? Why did it sell so many copies ? Why was it so appealing to the 60s market ? Does it still have apeal?
In the very early days of The Beatles , the songs were not just Lennon/McCartney or Lennon or McCartney....there is a documented Harrison McCartney song or two.....how do you think The Beatles would have fared if this had been the main song writing team.....how would they have differed and how...
Tom and Gerry or Paul and Art had many albums which brough folk music to the audiences of the 60s and beyond. Paul Simon visited African and South American music in his path to today. Art worked with various producers to perfect his vocal style during the 70s and 80s. However they eventually...
Tubular bells has been an album that has has phenominal sales and at its time of release was a very unusual concept. Two sides of continuous music played essentially by one man using multi track technology. Add to that , that it was the first realease on Virgin records and this helped the...
How would you do this?
What words would you use to describe this to others , how would you ensure that that person understood clearly what you were hearing?
Could you easily define what were the strengths of your system and what are they?
Why do you believe you are getting a good accurate...

The Beatles had evolved and this was the pinacle of their achievements
Or
EMI had installed a new 8 track desk in Abbey Road and this allowed The Beatles access to greater studio techniques
Or
George Martin...

If one reads some of the threads on AK one finds that there are several members who feel that its fine to add lewd suggestive comments to threads ....is the acceptable to member of AK ?
I was wondering how people used AK? Do you just look at the current posts and reply to those ? Do you ever scan the various forums for interesting posts? Do you ever use the search facilities to find threads ? Do you just rely on the alerts to see if you have likes or replies ?
I'm...
