Ullman Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 These rips are my my first experience of the effects of a parallel-tracking tonearm. Given the difficulty in getting the final tracks on certain problem albums to play really well with a pivoted arm, I am impressed with the results. I didn't actually realise that anybody had persevered with them seriously. In my mind they've always remained a 70s Bang & Olufsen fad.

Futtocks Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I didn't actually realise that anybody had persevered with them seriously. In my mind they've always remained a 70s Bang & Olufsen fad. There have always been a few around in a small way, but there are quite a few on the market at the moment. The old-fashioned Sony/B&O servo-driven tonearms are a long way away from these new ones, though, which mostly use air suspension for friction-free movement. Makers of parallel-trackers such as Rockport, Eminent Technology, Simon Yorke, Thales, Bergmann etc. are all at the higher end of hi-fi, though, which makes them 'somewhat' out of my league.

Futtocks Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Just spotted a recent Eric Clapton upload to the Dime a Dozen site. The seeder really knows how to sell a gig: Widely reported as the worst show of the 1974 tour, in fact this may be EC's lowest point on stage - ever. Eric is massively, incoherently drunk, and unintelligable at times. As the show begins with EC's 'outroduction' of emcee "Legs" Larry Smith, a member of the crowd shouts out "Clean Up Yer Act!!!!" which really says it all. EC begins his set with a rambling "Last Train to Brownsville", and then engages in an angry tirade: "To be serious ... one more of them, I'll tell you, and YOU'RE OUT OF HERE! One more of them silly f***ing fireworks and you are out of here! Behaviour!" As if the audience wasn't aware of his state, after "Let it Grow", Clapton shouts "I am drunk and I am ready for f***in' trouble!". Then, as guest Freddy King takes the stage, "he's strapping on his guitar, moving to the guest spot ... and if you haven't heard of him ... you don't f***ing deserve him! His name is Freddy ..." at this point a member of the crowd shouts out "W***er!", presumably directed at Eric - and probably deserved. As the solo progresss in "Hideaway", EC simply lets his guitar feed back for bar after bar, while Freddy King solos. Then in "Have You Ever Loved a Woman", after the line 'it's a shame and a sin', EC opines "don't believe them! there's no shame, there's no sin...". Freddie King then proceeds to wipe EC off the stage with his solo. Unfortunately, it's the only high point of this show! As "Get Ready" begins, the tape source for this CD begins to exhibit lots of wow and flutter, which comes and goes for the remainder of the recording. "Blues Power" ends with the beginning of "Presence of the Lord" which continues on Disc 2. As the band segues into "Little Queenie", EC mumbles "there it is again ... mumble mumble ... what the f*** is going on? ... well, I'm happy to get going - suits me, suits you" and then finally, in what has to be the second most bizarre and/or obscure "Little Queenie" reference from the 1974 tour (the "Martin Borman - Vote Nazi!" comment from the Pittsburgh show takes the #1 slot), EC says "Meanwhile, in Birmingham ... England, that is, not here, in Alabama .... they're making Persian carpets ... at 19,000 quid apiece ... there's only 10 Pakistanis here! They can't be bad - who am I?" Members of The Band come out and join Eric on a disjointed performance of "Chest Fever" and then by all accounts, carry the drunken Clapton off the stage.
