Oooh you're a naughty mess

doing much little of large fascination d'late but what, ever?/ listening big daddy kane, warm it up, kane and it is good/ 've switched my expensive shure cartridge for the cheap one the deck came with as it sounds better (in some ways)/ the shure lacks punch and pace as it's heavy and the arm and weight are light/ this requires the counterweight to hang far back causing more vibration in the arm and less definition in the sound/both cartridge and deck are composites of materials selected for rigidity &c so it's poss. a good cart.'s properties will be counterbalanced by other components (in this case literally)/ whilst the shure is a superior cartridge, this arm and deck do not compliment it/ with a heavier counterweight and more solid deck the shure would sing as the closer to the pivot the weight sits the better the sound/ also because the plinth is flimsy, the heavier sound of the cheaper cart. is more satisfying/ so on balance the cheap cart. works better/ one often thinks decent kit will perform well no matter the context, but this simply isn't the case/ every part of a system, including the room, is important/ fascinating, eh?/ now listening too short, life is and drinking coffee/ drank very little yesterday so feeling pretty good/ also doing very little today/ can't be having peeps over till late then rolling in drunk tomorrow 'cause i'm sick of struggling through the jour/ i'd love to maintain sobriety but it hasn't happened yet/ thus i'll just try and enjoy whatever the moment brings...
