LPs are like chocolate

Short, but immensely satisfying.

(Then, if you want more, you can put on the other side.)

Double LPs will keep you satisfied, longer. I have the Pink Floyd-The Wall (live) double LP by Waters, waiting for me at the local used record shop. I think I'll go get it now.

When you say "double LP" do you mean two circles, or one circle that plays twice as long?

I'm allergic to chocolate. Thank God I'm not allergic to LPs !!!!!

There are 2 12" records. Total playing time is about 80 minutes.

The Yes, Yessongs album has 3 records! My David Gilmour-Live in Gdansk has 5 LPs!!!!

Also, try playing some "long-haired" classical music, like Mahler's ninth.....it will seem like it lasts forever !!!

The headshell on the Dual is adjusted (I believe) to be perfect for the third record in a stack of up to six. If you use the TT for one record at a time, they made an adjustable headshell with a little twist knobby to get the VTA correct. Otherwise, if it is the headshell that often came with the TT, it is "wrong" for all singly-played records. I think the knob had M for multi and S for single or something.

Stacking the records is very retro and I appreciate the photo. Hopefully this was just a photo op and not the way you normally play records! After all, your other TT is a Linn!

BTW, the base is really cool with the silver band. Can you post a closeup of the hinges?

Oh, I have a lot of boxed sets with the sides arranged for those

But you know, too much chocolate is not good for you

Remember when double LPs were Sides 1 and 3 on one record and sides 2 and 4 on the other to allow for "in order of play" stacking then flipping on a changer? My how times have changed.

But there is Chocolate (Hershey) (puke!) and real chocolate! (usually in $5 or so per 8oz bar... (yummy)
So is the cheap choco treat like scratched up Goodwill Firestone Christmas albums?
And the expensive stuff like some 45rpm reissue?

Hey!

Mmmmmmm.... chocolate

I love chocolate, actually I think I'm a chocoholic. The bad part is that I do get break out with pimples if I eat a lot of it.... this is real and not a myth to me.

Anyway, I do get break out too listening to LPs.... beak out in smile and joy that is.

Take care,
Buddy

I have several double LPs from the 60's & 70's that are sides 1 & 4 on record 1 and sides 2 & 3 on record 2.

Hi Mitsu
That was the first time I got the stacker bar out since first getting the deck
I just cringe when the two discs first make contact and spin against each other

I agree with John, in this case "too much chocolate is not good for you

"
It was good op to check that the mechanism was still A OK though

Cheers
Dave
