May I ask what you do when the spindle hole of a vinyl is too small for your tt spindle...apart from doing a fist pump directly onto the platter.

Kind regards,
Tang

In the general's room you will see a section dedicated to Morini. You can get some Tang. She is famous for that devil's trill (as is Oistrakh) and Tchaikovsky among other things.
Thank you.

Tang :)

Hi Tang

Get a small straight edge knife that goes small to large thickness. just pop the knife into the hole til it reach's the inside of the vinyl hole. twist it around a little so a small bit of the vinyl inside the hole is slightly shaved - Gentle and consistent circular motion. check if it then fits onto the spindle - repeat on other side if close.

This stuff literally makes me contemplate digital. Why don't I enjoy rock'n'roll anymore... cursed with the classical bug.

Classical sounds great through a Lampi. DHT purity, continuity and flow, loads of drive and stage and slam bang. I think people should stay digital or if they go analog, get good analog recordings.

You can get a fine cut round file 8 mm diameter that starts at 5- 6 mm increasing the diameter progressively at the top. Use it gently from both sides of the hole, stopping in the zone that corresponds to the desired diameter.

A good alternative is using a 5mm round wood stick wrapped in 180 sand paper. I would stay away from hard cutting devices - they usually enlarge the holes asymmetrically if manually handled.

This funny thought flashed to my mind.

If Christian's lady got upset at him and hold his Oistrakh Scottish Fantasy uphigh, he probably says no no no not that one please..

Lol.

Tang, they’ll have you both by the Kogans... from memory Ked’s other half can bench press even more than him so his Kogans are seriously in jeopardy.
