Vinyl

My brother kindly gifted me an old Garrard GT12 turntable a while back, and this week I finally got hold of a new cartridge plus up a few albums to tide me over until I get my own old stash out of whatever closet it’s hiding in at our parents’ house.
There is nothing to compare to the physicality of vinyl records, both the discs themselves and all those gorgeous big sleeves… cover art used to be such a big part of the overall package. It’s been about 20 years since I had my own turntable… how I’ve missed it!
The new Audio Technica AT92E cartridge sounds great, but there’s noticable wow in the playback - time to hunt down a replacement belt too.
