Re: What music are you listening to currently?

IMG_20241120_195629.jpg I still remember the day I heard music from this record. I was a student spending time in a record shop in my hometown. The guy at the desk, "Giorgione" (Big Giorgio) was a great music fan and happy to introduce any kind of music to anyone attending the shop. I lis...

Re: Chinese catridges

It may sound like coming out of the blue, but I am not totally surprised by the news: the entire Audio-Technica AT-VM95 range (which received excellent reviews) is already fully produced in China (at least this is what I read), with only the Shibata version of the stylus produced in Japan.

Re: Gigs & Concerts in Ireland

I guess everybody knows now... Joe Bonamassa will play a tribute concert for Rory Gallagher in Cork, 1-3 July 2025 (3 nights). I think he will play the setlist of the RG Irish Tour.
I have secured my tickets.
