This guy can sing. Just saw him on Kelly Clarkson Show. His vocals are impressive. He reminds me of Ray Orbison & Elvis.

Great video Arnaldo! Loved hearing all Mark's stories about his journey in vinyl. Can't wait to watch the next episode. 😃

I have all the Eagles one steps now and many others from MOFI and I don't care. They sound amazing. All of them. Dead quiet floor, everything jumps out of the speakers so crisp.

I love this album

Nice video, looking forward to future editions. I still can remember going to Bleecker Bob's on probably my first visit to New York. Great shops in the Village back then.

I've been there many times. I could spend hours there.

Some good picks my man, I also did a top 10 a while back. I noticed you just done a New York video. I also did one but yours was way more informative than mine 😅

Interesting

Cool visit - I need to find that Lennon R&R lp. 👍🏻

What are the adresses of these stores? Thanks

Great video. Looks like a fun place to dig. And a punch card for the frequent flyers, very cool. I wanna shop there. I also peep those U2 records on the shelf, at least 3 Achtung Baby's. Nice!! Patiently waiting for the next video in the series. Have a good one, cheers -Devan

Loving the on-site q&a, esp. the conversational pov style cam! Mark seems like a great person and owner. I was hoping for perhaps just a bit more super composed rage regarding Rough Trade (or other retailers) in this series 😉 Respectfully disagree on Simple Minds Once Upon A Time...3 hit singles, great track flow, their best selling lp, & a RL cut...I have a promo and it sounds incredible.

Holy Blu-Rays, Batman! Looks like a very well priced store with some nice pieces in the racks. Look forward to future store visits!

Nice Job. I look forward to watching this series. ✌️

I NEED THIS SO BAD

My wife & I are very pleased with our Rega P6 with the moving coil Ania cartridge. To honor the British, I chose the Vincent 701 cartridge preamp.

OCD

I agree his voice is unbelievable. He has such range and is a great crooner and the songs are excellent.

Discovered them about a month ago, you can definitely see and feel the sounds of Morrissey and Roy Orbison. Going tomorrow 9/23 to see them play in Rough Trade record store here in NYC.

I thought he upgraded to a a real turntable like Technics 😅

Had rega planar 1 back in the day. Love it, sounds amazing - but i hated the hum sound on high volume and all the fuzz around... too much upgrades... thinking of upgrade to P6 but ended up with Technics SL-1210GR - now i'm super happy with my endgame deck and never look back.

Rega turntables are factory set for use with their cartridges (14mm height). I could be wrong but Rega doesn't offer adjustments for VTA. So, is your Sure cartridge height compatible, and if not were you able to use shims or a mat to get the correct VTA? I know there is a lot of controversy about VTA. I read that 1mm of height changes VTA by less than .25° and as long as you are within 2° there isn't a noticeable sound difference (for us mortals anyway). I ask in part because I have a Fluance RT85 which came with an Ortofon 2m Blue and doesn't have VTA adjustments. Technically, it restricts me to Ortofon 2m series cartridges (18mm). I have a Grado Prestige Blue 3 (17mm) installed and I prefer it to the 2m Blue. It sounds and tracks just fine and I believe it is within .25° at 1mm height difference. According to what I read on VTA .25° for every 1mm of height difference. 4mm would result in 1° forward or back depending on higher or lower. For me, that's close enough. Some folks will break out their microscope but my OCD hasn't gotten there yet. I think most cartridges are designed to be within 2° of tolerance to account for record height, warps, and not all manufacturers cutting their pressings at precisely the same angles. I believe I read somewhere that accepted tolerance off the press is 5°. That kind of makes me suspect that VTA could be a little hyped up to sell more expensive turntables with VTA adjustments to people who believe they need to adjust VTA when going from a thin pressing to a 180 gram pressing or anytime they have a cartridge change with slightly different height. That would drive me insane. Ortofon does make 2m cartridges (14mm) specifically for Rega to match their tone arm height. I'm not sure if you mentioned whether your Rega came with a cartridge or not or if you compared it with your Sure. I'm seriously thinking of upgrading to the Rega as you did. My only concern has been the VTA limitations which could be bunk anyway. I may just buy the Rega with their cartridge and not worry about it. I hear the new ND series are fantastic. Great video. Congratulations on your Rega.

Temamos.

I'm really enjoying this record right now. Great vibes.

yeah that's good to use the talcum powder as long as you're not in a high humidity area. a better approach would be to get some kiln dried sand kids play sand blonde sand, you'll need some gloves probably put the sound in the bucket and massage the belt for a good 7 minutes rubbing it aggressively. you want the belt to be dull not shiny. this is same as using the talcum powder but better. see if the belts got any moulding lines concentrate on that area. Rega says they don't I have seen them they do. I'm concerned about your electrics you shouldn't be getting hum that power supply only has neutral and live not earth in the mains, you've got resistance in your mains neutral get electrician to test it. if you use an extension cord a better one might be advisable and having in the first socket. worth getting a ifi mains purifier not expensive. also a 600 ohm resistor on the separate earth wire from the turntable would sort out the same thing.

Best cover band ever.

O way for Rega to adjust the lift without knowing the cartridge. The have different heights. The issue with the cover doesn’t look like wear, more like stress marks from molding.

It looks like they are continuing this. They just released New Moon (Halloween version of New Moon on Monday)

Great review. I will listen to it today!

Arnaldo is the 6 really that much better than the 3?

I had a scuffed up dust cover as well and was sent a fresh one. The wool mat was smashed and off center. The platter spindle needed lubrication and I finally got some from the rega master distributor. Rega claims to include 2 mm allen head to adjust neo speed but do not. My unit ran fast and no way to slow down enough. I replaced the belt that came with unit with reference belt. Second reference belt once had lubricated both motor and subplatter came with needed allen head tool to adjust neo. Speed seems spot on now. I have an Exact 2 cartridge that I like and a lot of nice gear. The hum is way lower than elys 2 p3 i have I think neo helps and really separation of cables and such. Tbh Rega is a cheap company with good designs. They could and should include lubricants including the motor oil. That ticking was your motor for sure. Also i bet u try a nd3 likely blow that shure away. 345 bucks. I mean 3 point mounting use it! Nd5 best but 2x nd3 price. Ok enjoy

I’ve dropped VMP for a minute. But from the sidelines I thought how they handled that Ramones swap sitch poorly. Glad you are getting yours though 🙌🏻

What would you need a cassette for??!!!...

I love this band and just bought their full length "The Future Is Our Way Out" album. Sublime. ❤

Just watched her live 3 days ago in London, UK. Brilliant performance. BRILLIANT. Amazing voice. Union Chapel - sold out. She signed my LP cover after the show. Hard to believe she is 69 now. Looking 60 the most, if not less and sings like 25 !!! :)

Thanks Arnaldo! Like the new Jack White quite a bit. A surprise. A few of mine so far from this year’s hear.. Yard Act-Where’s My Utopia? UK Post-Punk/Manchester rap, spoken, singing Think a bit of Beck mixed with Gorillaz. Fun album. Not sure why I relate to the english hip-hop-ish stuff. Guess its The Kinks effect. Leathers-Ultraviolet Very 80s early 90s synth, dreampop, shoegaze throwback. But very well done and eventhough it goes along sounding same-ish somehow it is involving. Vampire Weekend- Only God Was Above- Their best in awhile. Great chordal changes and guitar effects. Released earlier this year but is in my top ten along with The Lemontwigs last album. Gillian Welch Davis Rawlings The Woodlands will probably make the list as it seems to go back to their best stuff. Have only heard one tune but it is getting very good reviews. Thanks again for the video! ✌🏻🎸

Arnoldo will you be doing a review of Chappell Roan and Fletcher? Thanks

Hi Arnaldo, I visited third man records on Saturday with mazzy. Interesting store. I’ll give the travis album a listen I’ve always liked them but you’ve peaked my interest..though they’ve been promoting it heavily in the uk ..cheers arnaldo 👍

Congratulations - I appreciated your objective review. I've loved Rega turntables for 30 years, and as they sound very good, I've occasionally had problems with quality or peculiarities. These were moments when I was a little disappointed. But at the end of the day, for the price, you get an enjoyable turntable. 👍

I tend to agree with you and commenter below . Its true there have been loads of Smiths sound alike bands - Sundays and Housemartins- . The thing about Gene's singer and Wes, is they are paying homage (ripping off ) , Moz voice, subject matter, persona etc ... In Eddie My Love wes says "call me , call me ", which is just like Moz singing "phone me, phone me " there are alot of these . even the subject matter of Eddite is pure moz - Homo affection . Like Martin he also tries to copy the whole stage moves , interests etc etc. . As a band Brigitte Calls Me , are like Oasis... That is to say they lift from all sorts - The Strokes, The KIllers, The Smiths , The LA's etc.. I actually , really like Brigitte , and think the band could be something special

You missed Franz Ferdinand's first LP, and the Trash Can Sinatra's Re Gene Martin Rossiter was a pure Morrissey rip act , until the public fashion changed then he stabbed him in the back He was accused of bad abuse by his ex-wife, and he also got sacked from his job for sexual harassment for collage at the music college he worked at Re the LP, i agree with what you say but i wouldn't say the singer is better than Morrissey, as Morrisseys voice is completely his own, he may at times, stray into a kind of Elvis but its primal and his. Also he came out his own person, ready made. Jake Rowley has given himself a fake name Wes Levins and is a mimic. so he will never match up to Morrissey.. I know what you meant, though you meant technically better but there are loads of singers who are technically better, but they are not better singers to the heart ...Thats the key If you want to copy the Smiths do it like Suede, they took the spirit and created something as beautiful.. To copy Morrissey like Jake (wes) has , is very high school , he is aping the voice, stage moves, lyrics , and also personas .. When you do this you lack authenticity

Genius

I remember the first time I heard sexy boy on a Greek music channel... I liked it so much that I waited impatiently for the album to come out. When it was released I immediately ran to buy the cd. And of course it didn't disappoint me... From then until today, every time I hear it, it's like hearing it for the first time. It's an all time classic!!! P.S.I got it 6 years ago on the 20 anniversary vinyl but I believe that VMP will cover me more acoustically so I'm thinking of getting it on this version as well

bryan fwrry retro 5 cd is coming out november. great vidoe. mr ferry is legend solo or roxy. a singers singer. thanks for ur videos

I pre-ordered and created the Discogs record for this (clear) lp because of your ep review; excellent pressing. I streamed the ep a few times and was hooked (never bought, wanted to hear it all at once). I have spinning the lp near daily; absolutely love it end to end (so many influences, "meta indie"). Ty for highlighting the ep, it is always fun to listen to new artists especially when they are this talented!

Nice review Arnaldo! I really dug the ep. Bought it because of your recommendation. Thanks!! Definitely interested in checking out the lp. It’s a bit disappointing that all the ep songs are on the album. They should’ve left some off to make the ep have some exclusives. I would have preferred them putting out a new ep with six songs. Haha! Glad to see there are band photos on the album. Biggest oversight was no photos on the ep. They have the look, but didn’t use it. Like you, I’m rooting for this band. Cheers, Jon

The joys of owning overpriced overrated British audio equipment.

Hi Arnaldo, great video. I went to see the exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery when it opened last year in London and absolutely loved it. George Martin even manages to look suave in trunks 😂. I didn’t pick up the book at the time as I was heading to Wembley for a rugby game in the afternoon but your video reminded me it is on the ‘to buy’ list. Andy

Very cool overview 👍🏻

Awesome exhibit, excellent walkthrough & recap!
