Looking for a new angle. I was preparing some of my overstock for sale when I found this nice emerald colored Bad Company bootleg. You would almost think it's a McIntosh with that colour. It difficult colour to display on my monitor with the intense blue-green, but I think it should be ok as desktop. This time a tried a fill-in flash too. Hope you like.

Yeah but it's Colnago. Aren't they supposed to be pistachio icecream green?
No, as I changes all the lights on my system to magenta LED's (pink) I thought it might be an idea to try to shoot Madonna. I mean, that pink 'dancefloor' album. Maybe it's even more dancefloor than the cover?
So here it is. Just one from a series, but I think it's the most striking.
Mind you, this is straight honest photography with a steady hand. I only use Photoshop for minor colourcorrection, very minor 'smart sharpen', and crop/size. It's better to have a 'clean subject' than to photoshop everything afterwards (like, erm, Madonna :rolleyes.

slightly offtopic, but while looking for coverart for my Furtwangler on EMI flacs I stumbled on a 1945 Beethoven Sym No 4 Coriolan Vienna Philharmonic on the Vox label. You can count yourself very fortunate if you have one in mint condition. To say the least. $500 for an unstated condition, $2000 for a mint on Ebay atm. :eek: A Turnabout reissue (I like Turnabout for it's usually a hidden treasure) only $10.
update... erm :rolleyes:
I just found the Turnabout reissue in my vinyl collection. I thought it looked familiar, I don't even have it that long. Well, the next listen I will be a lot more attentive.

Thanks, Yeah the TT is an entry level Music Hall mmf2.2 w an acrylic platter, which I added the project speed box and Vincent audio phono preamp. All that is fed into what you see below... I now see the reason why vinyl has been making a comeback in a world of digitized audio.
I was debating whether to upgrade the cartridge to an AT440 or just save money and upgrade the TT itself. Then again I don't have much of a vinyl collection to make that move and see the value in that...
That's a very nice entry. And a nice system. Although (I dunno if I'm safe to say that here) playing vinyl over speakers works even better.
About the cartridge, in my experience, upgrading will give you more enjoyment but upgrading the turntable will show more tightness and refinement. But the new TT will need a new cart too eventually. And a new TT with a standard cart will sound better but misses the fun factor (related to a complete freq.spectrum) in my experience.
So my advice: just keep buying vinyl and build a nice collection until you can justify the upgrade to a better cart. And later, get a better TT after a few years. Then you will know what you missed and be all the more pleased.
