Cheers. Thanks a lot. That should cover all options now.

Thats great info thanks. Ive had my eye on a couple of nice amps that had only AUX inputs. So has the deck got a built in preamp cos its usb? Thanks once again.

Hello. Im looking for advice on hifi stereo stuff. First let me say I know zilch about hi fi stuff, so forgive my ignorance. Ive been given a turntable. A KAM ddx4000 direct drive. Its got usb function and phono outputs, these are red and white. Im not too bothred about the usb route. I just want to play vinyl like back in the day. Im led to believe cos its got usb it has a preamp built in. Is this correct? I have speakers. On the rear of the deck it has a switch that alternates between "line" and "phono". What is this switch and what are its functions? If I obtain an amp that has "aux" but not "phono" inputs will this turntable work if i plug into "aux" Or do I need an amp with "phono" I dont want to be paying more than £60 if I can help it. (Ive got other costly hobbies in salmon fishing serious cycling so wifey wont be too happy if I start playing the hi fi card. Is there any new gadget out there that will let me achieve my goals. (Ive got loads of hip hop, house vinyl that Ive not heard for ages and would love to hear) Any help, guidance etc would be much appreciated. Cheers in advance. Steve.Sorry if this is in the wrong place mods.

I was there.

Hi. edited because got the info req. Thanks. Mods can delete this post if they would.

Yep.I like it.

Love machine. Miracles. 1975.

Temptations...... youre not an ordinary girl. From 1st note to last proper uplifting tune. Love it.

1976ish. 3 copies of Gene Mcdaniels...... walk with a winner...... uk liberty. All mint. Never been out of sleeves. 20p each. Little second hand shop in a little town called Great Harwood near Blackburn. Sold 2 immediatley to Guy Hennigan and a good friend Geoff. Nice.

Great memories. Love it. Great horns, Great stuff. Great piano.

Yep. I agree. Got a real catchy feel to it. Great horns and a great sax break. Johnny Nash got this spot on vocally wise too IMO.

Love this record. Was one of my faves. Cant believe I had a red issue and " lost " it. Iv not got over it to be honest.

If you havnt heard Bari Track..........Doni Burdick, then you must. Its an essential. If you "get" that sound you are well on your way to being "lost" and hooked. Good luck and dont be scared. Remember youre young. I envy you. I really do. All the sounds that youve yet to hear. Thousands.

Can believe shitty Blanche Carter in at 47 before Tomangoes, Fidels,Bobby Paris, Yvonne Baker. Milton Wright. Even back in the day the afore mentioned would wipe the floor with "Halos are for angels" . Honestly does any one rate Blanche Carter? Not after an argument or row. Just saying.

Anne Perry. Ritchie Adams. Great times early Wigan.

Very true. Remember goin to the Casino with Brian Waterhouse. We had a few sounds with us. Brian asked Richard to play one. Perigents....Lets get into something....Maltese. He listened to it over headphones. Played it. About 5 of us danced to it. Never took off. Pity I really liked it at the time.

I like that.

Sorry. Should have said. Appointments.

I cant believe that Ive never come into contact with this tune before clicking the sound file on JM site. I like to think that Iv got an ear for "Northern ". And that tune just grabbed me straight away. Love the key changes. Could do without the wailing. Love it.

I think its it a great tune. Back in the day at early wigan 73ish I loved it. Got booted too soon. Only my thoughts... Great vocal , piano, sax break .Its got all the ingredients of a great northern soul record.

Bari Track just gets better and better to these ears. Brilliant played out loud.

Hi. More likely to be 75/76. Only heard ANYCD at the Mecca around 73/74. Didnt get played by Searling until much later. Just saying.

im sure theres a guy from Padiham Lancs called Mick Webb. BITD.
