 Like for instance people say I rolled some tubes, as a guitar player and a musician we always just audition tubes, we don't roll them, I know that's an audio term but I also don't like the words lozenge, I hate the word lozenge, it's a disgusting word and I don't like when people say delish, but I also don't like rolled, I hate that term, but I rolled some tubes out of the phono stage and put in two new old stock 5751s, those are like a low gain 12ax7 and oh my god did they make a big difference. So some significant changes happening with the rig and sounds great, I mean great. So I'm really stoked on that, the new turntable is awesome and I thought I would take an opportunity here to talk about some audition records, when you get a new piece or you got a new rig going and you want to audition it, you know, you've got to bust out some records that you know sound great, you know, like oh we're going to, I want to hear this thing, I want to hear what the differences are between that and the old pieces of gear and you know I had the great old green, now I've got this great old reference platinum and I wanted to hear that difference, I wanted to hear the difference in the tubes, so here are the records that I auditioned with, coming in hot, bam, Jaco Pastorius, self titled, this is Jaco's first record, if you don't have it you should because it is a heater, okay, I mean Portrait of Tracy, Continuum, I mean Speak Like a Child, I mean this thing is loaded down with funky tracks, beautiful playing, this changed the bass, electric bass world forever, forever, sometimes when I, if I want just a subtle change for auditioning in the Jaco way, I go with this one, boom, Pat Metheny's Bright Sized Life, Jaco plays on this and this is a beautiful record, it's a medium difficulty to find, you're probably going to have to go to the internet to get it, it's on ECM, yeah, ECM, great label, fantastic, Midwestern Nights Dream, dope track, third, third, coming in third for auditioning, boom, classic, Abbey Road, needs no explanation really, side two is basically a perfect side, have one, depending on how much you like Maxwell Silver Hammer or Octopus' Garden is how you're going to feel about it, but I want you as on there and come together and I mean it's also a really, really killer side, so recorded at Abbey Road, come on, they were getting back together and doing it one more time, killing, killing, killing, anyhow, bam, Phil Evans' Trios, Sunday at the Village Vanguard, yeah, Phil Evans, what can you say, everybody knows on the BC we all talk to Phil Evans and unparalleled mastery of the piano and just beautiful, beautiful stuff, very high fidelity, always shocking how awesome early jazz recordings sound, it really goes to show you that those guys put a lot of time and effort into getting those recordings just right and this is no different, yeah, Sunday at the Village Vanguard, really killer, now, I always like to audition a little bit of Steely Dan and you know, I think that the obvious choice is Asia, right, but I go with this one, boom, the Royal Scam, that's right, yeah, on that ABC hitter, yeah, that's right, you know, Kid Charlemagne and Don't Take Me Alive, The Fez is on here, yeah, that is a funky track, super, super awesome, you know, nobody goes more, here's the deal with this Steely Dan, Fagan and Becker, right, you know, there's all these stories about how they would make people play take after take after take after take after take after take, it's not really because they were being super picky about the takes, it's because they wanted the studio musicians, most of the time, to get so comfortable with playing the parts that any red light fever that they had would just kind of go away, you get comfortable because you've played it so many times and you start being unconscious with the playing, you can just, basically you can play it in your sleep, you've played it a hundred times now, you know the part inside and out, backwards and forwards, and that's what they wanted, and you know what, great results, okay, let's finish this up, last but not least, no stereo component audition is complete without playing this, and we all know what it is, bam, Dark Side of the Moon, come on, that's what I'm talking about, you know, there's nothing I'm going to say about this that hasn't been said, but we all know it sounds great, if you want to hear a high fidelity record, do your system, find yourself a nice pressing Dark Side of the Moon, okay, this is a straight up US pressing, very clean indeed, we won't get into the specifics of it, but it does have all the posters and stickers and what not, and is really, really nice, so I like to play these records when I get a new component, works out really well, allows me to tune my system up a little bit, if I hear something that I'm not liking, it allows me the opportunity to make some adjustments, but anyway, thanks for watching the video, super glad you could share the excitement of the Thorns TD-124, Ken McAuliffe has done a lot of great talking about this turntable, so I will link that in the comments below, until we meet again guys, that's right, Bob out.

 Full disclosure, I've had it for a few days, there were some videos I wanted to make and I wanted to get those out and plus I needed to get the turntable sorted out, set up and everything. It's not all I did to the old rig over here, I did a few things. Now let's get into it. The Marantz table that I always have has been moved over to auxiliary right now, it's in the other room and if I have to take this one out of service, I'll use the Marantz

 Yo, what's up VC Bob here. As you can see from the top of the video, a very exciting thing has happened. New turntable day, that's right. Super excited about it

NEW TURNTABLE DAY! Also Records to test your new gear

 What's interesting is when I move the counterweight back a little bit, to get it balanced, I accidentally

 turned it a little because this was facing straight up and that apparently is what gave

 As you can see from the top of the video, a very exciting thing has happened.

 Full disclosure, I've had it for a few days, there were some videos I wanted to make and

 I wanted to get those out and plus I needed to get the turntable sorted out, set up and

 It's not all I did to the old rig over here, I did a few things.

 So you know, most of us anyway have gotten this stimulus check because of this coronavirus

 and you know that I've been calling Trump change, see what I did there, like chump change

 Anyhow, I thought that I would buy, you know I've blown a lot of money in my life and I

 can blow $1200 like it's nobody's business, I mean you know, I can spend $1200 on records

 in a heartbeat and have 12 records and the money's just gone.

 And I'll forget that I did that and sell those records off later.

 So I wanted to buy something that was really, really, you know that I felt like I was putting

 the money, because it's a gift after all and I just wanted to buy something that I felt

 like would last me a lifetime and I didn't want to take that money and just blow it,

 you know I wanted to buy something that is not a throwaway item.

 You know a lot of people get into these kind of talking points where they you know buy

 American or whatever like that and I don't have anything against buying things from offshore

 When I have something against buying throwaway items, I think that is linked to everything

 that's wrong with our society right now.

 You know it's bad for everything, it's bad for you, it's bad for the environment and

 worst of all you just bought something that has a planned date of obsolescence, it's going

 to die and you're going to have to go buy a new one for no reason.

 Things that are made to last and are serviceable, that's what you want.

 As a matter of fact, check it out, here's a guitar from 1958.

 You know, still play it every day, you know you have to get it maintained and you have

 to get things done to it but it's well worth it.

 So that said, I decided to get a new turntable.

 Now there are certain things that appeal to me like vintage guitars or tube amps or whatever

 it's just the way I roll, I like things that have a patina and a richness and a deepness

 that only come with time and things of that nature, it's just the way I like to roll.

 I do some new things, I have an iPhone and stuff like that, iPads and Macintosh computers

 and the whole nine, you know, but the things I want to keep close to me generally, got

 a little bit of funk on them if you know what I mean.

 So on to the turntable, it is a 1958-59 Thorenz TD-124, now these turntables originally did

 not ship with a tonearm so the manufacturer sent it out to dealers and the dealers would

 put a tonearm and the mechanism to lift the record up and things like that.

 Mine has an ESL tonearm on it and it has that little lift mechanism that with a red ball

 on it, kind of Rat Fink-ish you know as Jeffrey Lee Puckett pointed out ever so accurately.

 I know it's a stupid thing to draw you to something but that little, I'm a big Daddy

 Roth fan and I love all the Rat Fink stuff so that was really cool.

 You know it's on this kind of wooden plant and you know it's also, the dealer installed

 a dust bug on there, that little thing that picks up the dust off the record.

 It mostly just looks cool but the Thorenz turntables, the vintage ones, they only made

 those for about maybe 10-12 years or something like that and they do require some maintenance

 and you have to know some, you have to be a little bit mechanical and know some things

 about working on things basically if you really want to not just be pulling your hair out

 So you know, but the point is it's totally serviceable, I can take that thing completely

 apart, refurb every piece of it and put it all back together and it will rock for another

 So this one is in fine running condition and I bought a rebuild kit for the motor and the

 rubber grommets and all these things and luckily for me all that stuff is new on there already

 so I have backups if you will and it's a thing because most of the parts are coming from

 Europe but it's a fantastic turntable, very tactile, it's completely manual, it just has

 a rich character to the sound, belt driven of course, it's super dynamic and just really

 is a character piece and I could have gotten a lot of things, that's not an inexpensive

 turntable, I could have gotten a VPI or a MoFi table or all sorts of different things,

 I could have got a Riga or a Roxxon, I could have got a lot of things.

 But that's more of my vibe and it's probably not the only turntable I'll ever have.

 The Marantz table that I always have has been moved over to auxiliary right now, it's in

Thorens TD 124
