Was I a "Punks" ?

Yes, by heart but not necessary in style........

When I was young I was labeled as "Angry Young Man" because I always spoke loudly at class to the bullies and snobby classmates because I like to stand up to them.

More Punk then.

Then attitude changed in pace with music because angry behaviour got me into troubles all the times. However, I did build up my reputation and "respect" among the boys.

Thanks.

Apparently this is one of the 20!! I may need to retire it due to so many crackings!!!

用硬盤10幾多年，係幾年前已經想改善，做了一些diy工序來穩固唱盤及改善
唱盤基底座下，添加另外2塊雲石一個size大些，另外一個呎吋細些少。

1) 最底層既第一塊大size雲石全面包上一層軟性物料。例如防滑網墊鋪設，將它放置三層木rack最上頂層部。加上防滑網墊，目的是防止重叠雲石和木層面互相拉扯及可減少麻石剛性震動。

2) 另外第二塊細size既雲石仍然舖上防滑網墊，再係每邊既四角鑽上4孔，加上M8 size 鑼絲釘腳，放置在再第一塊雲石上面。

3) 再係所有雲石四長週邊及唱盤底部空間鋪設及放置一些軟性防撞cushion，目的是有阻尼性，及減低底部空間有空氣流動及聲音反射。

So sad to hear the news that Black passed away due to a car accident.

Wonderful Life is one of my favourite songs of all time. I used it a lot for my videos, especially those sentimental ones.

During the COVID Pandemic human life had been greatly affected. Those working in the front line healthcare services were putting every once of their effort to tackle the pandemic, some even with their life.

Being one of them I saw the daily struggle from my colleagues but they never gave up. I made a few videos with interviews with them, videoing their emotions during works and occasionally witnessing their own breakdown.

Nonetheless, they all said that life is wonderful and that's why they wanted to promote and maintain as much as they could.

"Wonderful Life" was always used as background music.

Mr. Colin Vearncombe R.I.P. and you had given the world a glimpse of hope.

Sam Hui 以前D歌曲旋律生鬼動聽，填詞鬼馬，雅俗共償，容易上口，夠貼地。經過幾十年，今時聽，依然覺得好好聽。

I couldn’t wait to try the Audio Note M1 RIAA MM Phono Preamp!!! I compare the Trichord Dino Mark 1 especially my friend told it should be a good match with the Ortofon 2M Black.

Here comes the first test with the Trichord Dino Mark 1:

Now concentrating on the Audio Note Kit M1 RIAA Phono Preamp with the Ortofon 2M Black.

A surprising cult recording from the Professional DJ's but amateurish singing.

However, it was such a raw and truthful of their passions.

It is one of my favourite records from that era.

An elegant lady with beautiful singing.

Songs are perfectly arranged and a dream Audiophile recording and need not spend a fortune to get it.

Hi dlld,

I also had used EAR 834P and I really enjoyed it. Then like it has been I changed to from the cheapest of Cambridge Audio to the expensive WHEST (to me ).

However, I always go back to Trichord DINO. I can't explain but I love the tune, with either MC or MM carts.

Dino is more punchy and kind of "in-da-face" and is good for most of my music. M1 is quite musical but a tad slower but I say it could be very transparent later.

The DINO is the Mark 1 model and I haven't anything inside so it could be getting tired now. The M1 is just starting from yesterday so not even run in with the tubes and the caps. I was told the Duelund may need more than 50 hours to run in.

That said I think the M1 may edge out the Dino soon.

The backing vocals from 2:00 in this song is so much sweeter and transparent from the AN M1 than the DINO, very subtle but you know it’s there.
