I watched the "This Too Shall Pass" one mainly because I have seen snippets of the bands they have at the US football games. The bands are jumping around so much I swear they are more athletic than the football players!

Anyway. Most important event of recent years is the arrival of what must be the final AC/DC album.
Turns out its top shelf. The best since 1983. I've been waiting for them to take an entire album seriously since Flick of the Switch.
"Like the devil on a deadline" ... what a lyric!

Now that's vintage AC/DC.

Music after the fall. All electronic stuff...dead.. no way to play cd's, flash disks etc, but I have a windup gramophone from 1917 and 1,000's records to play on it as well as 1,000's needles and a sharpener. Totally EMP proof, migh even hold some dances after. Listening to the night is young-foxtrot-henry king How do i post the mp3 of it? Copyright ran out 50 years ago, so no issues there.

Now listening to destiny waltz-12 inch-princes grand concert band 78 rpm recording, played on a homemade turntable using a 1930's magnetic pickup with steel needles. The pickup is a low impedance one, about 500 ohms, so has very good damping, especially when run through a smallvalve audio transformer to get higher impedance for the grid input. The turntable uses a 1/4 hp 32 v dc motor as the pickup need a lot of power to drag it across the record at 2 gramms tracking force. Its also variable speed, so i can cope with standard groove records from 33 1/3 rpm up to 180 rpm. The amp is a homemade all valve with the audio takeoff from the secondary of the output transformer to get the noise reduction. Audacity processes it and turns it to mp3's. Simple top cut tone control as was done in the 1930's. The amp is single ended 100 watt transmitting pentode valve running 800 volts high tension to get decent dynamic headroom. No feedback as the output transformer does that job very well. No chance of running out of power rails and clipping with this gear and I can fill a auditorium with sound, with spare. Several 1,000 mfds storage of high tension for peak music. The 800 volts voltage rail doesnt sag at all, even under full output of over 100 watts, and the power transformer has 5 times the capacity needed to run the filament at 6.3 volts and 10 amps, so lots of cathode emission ready for peaks. Looks good too, glowing blue in the dark. (The blue glow covering the inside of the glass just means the valve has a good vacuum, its not a flashover). Being single ended means no crossover distortion, the valve conducts over its whole cycle and doesnt distort. The quality of these old recordings when played properly is outstanding, especially as the speed of nominally 78 rpm gives a good high frequency response, and I clean the records by washing in warm soapy water first then let them air dry before recording. Happy listening
