Yes, I live in a neighborhood where everyone has at least 3/4 of an acre. Also, my setup is in my rec room. I have a raised bungalow. So essentially I am in a huge cement bunker. I can blast the crap out of it It is so refreshing to listen to music in full range.

I bought a proper stand. The receiver JUST fit. I upgraded my speaker cables to banana plugs. Now it is time to collect albums. I will likely just be buying new pressings. Purple vinyl, nice touch.

And piper. The turntable was christened with SOYCD from WYWH, as I imagined for a long time.

Great song. I love that era of Saxon.

I was just kidding.
I guess you know.
Nowadays there would be Kygo, Alan Walker or Aurora or Girl From The North that would be internationally known I guess.
Thenwe have MadCon, Satyricon etc.

@WT

Great setup you have there.
I have those 2 albums. Pink Floyd is my favourite.
That Deep Purple album is a live recording isn`t it. With "Speed King" and "When a blind man cries". Or am I mixing them now?
(I`ve read that Blackmore hated that last song.

Neither of those songs on this version.
I will be picking up In Rock soon, which features Speed King ( the birth of thrash metal ?)
A1 Highway Star 6:43
A2 Child In Time 12:17
B1 Smoke On The Water 7:36
B2 The Mule 9:28
C1 Strange Kind Of Woman 9:52
C2 Lazy 10:17
D Space Truckin' 19:54

Some of the CD releases have Speed King as an encore.

Ok, I was wrong.
So long ago that may be it is time to go through them.
I have some Deep Purple albums. I also have an album where "Hey Joe" is included. Haven`t seen that on any other album if I am right.
I stopped buying Deep Purple albums after the first album after Ian Gillan left.

The Gillan era was the best. He's still going at 78 ! Glover and Paice still with him. I saw them in 1984. One of my favorite concerts. It was surreal seeing the legends in person. It was also the first time I saw lasers. They had a hologram of the DP logo from Perfect Strangers. album.

Just like when David Byron left Uriah Heep for me they were never the same.

I only know a few of their songs. But I like them. They are a band I should dive into. I seem to recall a documentary I saw on them, David Byron knew the lifestyle was going to kill him.

Very sad story. One of many.

Here is one:

That song has a very Deep Purple feel to it.
I will be listening to some Uriah Heep on Tidal.

My son just asked me if I ever owned a turntable with a big horn speaker on it. WTF. I'm 55 not 110.

You should have told him that you could have, but didn't want to be responsible for having to feed and clean up after another dog.



Either that, or that there wasn't enough room in the car to bring them both home from the store:
