Pigeon Thing

on the traditional amp front an audilab 8000a is reasonable and has an ok phono stage in it...fairly easy to find and reasonably priced second hand...

...do you have anything already? amp or speakers wise? will you be playing most of your music through the new set up or is it just for occasionally playing records? soz for the questions and nee answers

hi Mike...Last one...i noticed that when I go to the home page, it looks looks like its loaded, but often at the bottom of the page say features videos or spotlight articles the images wont have loaded, if i try to navigate to somewhere else on the site ( say record wants) before all the images have loaded thats when the site stalls in safari... the home bar at the top looks like its loaded but it hasnt. If i wait till all the images load on the home page i can navigate the site without any lag issues...should i just move this query over to the "private support forum" as im just filling up space here, and its safari issue at my end anyway...

...ok just tried it, this was a newer mac, using the browser not the app, not signed in, and its also never been used to go to the site before, was fine for around four- five visits, (to site then off to say bbc and back..) then lag started so def in the way the cookies / history / cache is loaded when returning to the site, I've not really noticed this on other sites, but also I check here more often than others so??...

I have a diff spec Mac (m3) will give it a try on there to see if the same issue happens

Thanks Chalky, I cleared that he the other day and it speeds it up for a while then just seems to get bogged back down, like your first post said, hits the main page fine, then stumbles when trying to go elsewhere, sometimes its fine though which is annoying

... nope no change...well...once you blank the cache it works fine but gradually slows as the site is used, so def an issue with the cache/cookies in safari...(prob a way of saying I'm visiting the site too much) I'll use chrome for a while, there'll no doubt be an update along in a short while so that might resolve it..

tried cleared all the cache / cookies again and unchecked the privacy preserving setting, and restarted, I'll let you know if it has an effect

same here, browser not app, also an M1 CHIP

yup, def a safari issue on the Mac here, no such issues using chrome on the Mac, site loads smoothly...strange one as when it loads in safari it works smoothly, will have a mess about with the tracking options

Hi Mike,logged in or out, doesn't really make any difference, will try the other things later. it just loads or gets locked up

Hi Mike, im just testing this logged in and out...I'll let you know later on...

I'll have a check mike and let you know, thanks for the interest

Hi Mike its an M1 mac with safari 18.5, seems to be a safari issue, as using the site with chrome with no issues, may be something in the cache or cookies which holds up the loading, once its loaded ( sometines it just wont) the site works fine but it happens again if you leave the site and return later, if that makes sense...

...think it must be a safari issue as tested this arvo using chrome theres no lag...

...scratch that...back to lagging, its taken me about 5mins to get back to this page?...

Ive noticed this and was going to email mike about it, but thought it would be an issue at my end, also on safari here, cleared out all cookies, history etc in safari relating to soul-source and sense to have resolved it...

...I think your bang on here and the key is "genuine" you'd have sure of the provenance, otherwise its just writing on the label...

on the Marvin sample front...another older (ooofff over 20 yrs ) one on firecracker out of Edinburgh...great little 10"...

...ahh ok thanks , but did you do the track first without any real concern / worry about the sample and then resolve as it started to get plays?/ took off or did the label cover those bases from the start... ( just interested, no axe to grind here thanks)...

how was dealing with the estate?

...ooofff...deep dive on the monarch front...good reading and info...thanks all...(think ive just used up my up vote quota for the day)...

...will give it a try now thanks...

Hi Rob, I def agree with this, Do you ( or anyone else) know when "soul" first came into print in relation to music, are there any ads, charts, references in write ups ? Appreciate this is going way back but im always amazed what info folks have Ta...j

ta...for the update...
