Tone Controls/Graphic EQ?

Thanks TG.  By the way, do you play vinyl when it's a really hot day? I have my doubts about generating even more heat from the stylus/vinyl interface... Stux, I don't know if this applies to UK climate...

Not sure what you would class a really hot day - it does not often hit 40C here - then I tend to shut most things down - computers get too hot to operate properly and so do I 

Anything less than 35C I do not generally concern myself, though you may have a point, I have heard of some who do not like to play both sides one after the other to allow the vinyl to reform from the heat generated by playing - I am not that obsessive - although I do use LAST record preservative which is claimed to harden the surface layer of the vinyl and reduce wear - I tend to believe that claim.  I do reduce the VTF when the average temperature is over 30C in the belief that the suspension will be softer - this would also, presumably, reduce the heat generation markedly.

Interesting thought all the same.
