Thom_Fuckery Nice one. Sounds like it’s exactly what i’m after. £1300 was for a brand spanker btw, might wait and see if one comes up on fleabay.

    The T8V’s finally on the way from Thomann. Who knew that in times of Covid19 the production might be a bit behind.

    Also made the decision not to get the third deck (if I want to play Zach techno again (not bought any bangers in over six months), I’ll just get back to Traktor), so splashed a ridiculous amount of money to new DJ headphones and ordered the Phonon 4000s that Dixon and Ame use. Tried friend’s pair a year or so ago, and absolutely loved them (amazing sound and so light), but couldn’t then fathom spending close to 300 € on DJ headphones. Easier now, for all the money I saved not going out in the past 3 months. Also I doubt I’ll play much out in the future so they’ll be only used at home.

    Home-disco done for now. Should a friend request another SL-1200 they can bring one if they want to play. The stuffed animals were my wife’s idea of hiding the cable’s from the direction of the sofa, and fuck it, it’s funny. Might get around to organizing them more nicely sometime around 2025 if I know myself.

    1 x Technics SL-1200 MKII
    2 x Pioneer XDJ700
    1 x Pioneer CDJ400 (just for listening to CDs)
    1 x old Samsung Tab 4 (just for listening to streaming music)
    1 x Allen & Heath Xone PX:5
    2 x Adam Audio T8V (master output)
    2 x Adam Audio T5V (booth output)
    Phonon 4400-headphones
    Tascam DR-2-recorder.

      Phil-McRackin Interesting framed film poster you have there.

      It’s the Emmanuelle-soundtrack on vinyl actually. Bought it at a flee market for 2 € just to put it on the wall.

        Haha, ever played it out?….just had a listen on youtube…very french.

        Not even once. Bought it just for the artwork. It’s fun to have a woman with her tits out on our living room wall, when some poor souls decides to bring the kids to visit too. Like my brother.

        Can’t remember the last time I had a woman with her tits out in my living room. 🙁

        You lucky bastard. I’ve got a space at the end of the kitchen table and that’s the end of it.

          …had the Phonons on the list for a while, waiting for mine to give up the ghost first, but they are proving annoyingly sturdy

          They had some kickstarter for new headphones awhile ago I think. Ame or Dixon posted about it on their social media.

          I love the sound of the 4400’s, best cans I’ve ever heard, but they seem really delicate structurally. If I ever play out again I’ll take either my old A&H or Audio Technica-headphones with me. Instead cramming the 300 € Phonons in my backback drunk as a skunk and breaking them.

          Did a little test today on the new set up, and I just have to say that I can’t recommend the Adam T-series speakers enough for those with budget. Such a good sound.

            Gorgeous!!! Plus it looks like you don’t have to compete with the neighbours enjoyment of silence! I’ve been mixing with just my headphones recently to appease the neighbours!! :-(

              Homegrove just pulled the trigger on a set of T5 ’s! Looking forward to hearing them.Mastersounds radius 2 now in my sights!

                Grant any word when you’re getting the new Pioneer? I think you said July.

                  My DDJ 400 landed yesterday.

                  Ordered from recordcase.de a while back, maybe 6-8 weeks.

                  They had on website not in stock until 15th July, and had moved previous estimate back from mid June, so was a nice surprise
