"A decade from now, when people look back on Live Earth, what they will remember isn't what happened during the show - instead my hope is they remember what happened after. More than 2 billion of us joined together on 07.07.07, and with one voice, demanded an end to the climate crisis. We now have the responsibility to carry this movement forward and force our leaders to take action." –Al Gore

White you are at it, make sure to sign the Live Earth Pledge.

SPINNING BLOCKS

P3 Turntable by Rega. When I saw this tt for the firstime I felt I spun like vinyl. What a "freakishly beautiful" piece of hip minimalist engineering. The all new Rega P3-24 evolved from revisiting the virtues of the original planar 3 turntable. No unnecessary frills. High performance. Outstanding musical sound performance for cost price. Rugged reliability. High quality components. A long life time. Plus customise the look of your Rega turntable using a variety of new coloured wool mats.

The new plinth whilst being slim and attractive, offers high levels of rigidity by using phenolic resin laminates, with a high quality edging. High performance with a very high quality low vibration motor. The clever controlling circuitry can be adjusted for phase angle of the motor coils resulting in very low vibration levels from the complete motor assembly.Increased musical performance, by conditioning the electrical supply with a synthesised low distortion crystal controlled ac input and the convenience of electronic speed change control.
An improved vertical bearing housing has been used, which gives improved rigidly in the tonearms mounting, reducing the stresses in the main 13mm bearings. This assembly is topped off with a bias housing phono cable.
