Welcome to "Outside Edges; Adventures in Analogue"

Greetings from the "Outside Edges", where analogue equipment and recordings rule! The intent behind this blog is not to bore you with too many specifications, there are millions of technical experts already blogging on those subjects. The Outer Edges is about sharing "analogue" knowledge with a new generation of listeners.

Over the next few weeks I will be publishing a few articles starting with album care and proper handling. This is the most crucial part of enjoying great sound, and it is also the most overlooked, or simply ignored part of the listening experience. I will get into the different ways of caring for your vinyl. Of course without the right equipment, analogue does not work! So there will be reviews of equipment to cover all your analogue needs.

I am working on listening impressions of several pieces of vintage hi fi equipment. I will share my listening impressions of speakers, turntables, amplifiers of all types and tape decks. There is a pletora of equipment available at very inexpensive prices, I will share how to match equipment to build "your" system and how to obtain it. We'll chat soon!!
