Hey everyone,

I hope you are doing great. I have some exciting news I am waiting on a new turntable to arrive it should be delivered today! The turntable an early Christmas gift is a Technics SL-1200MK7 which is a newer version of the classic Technics 1200. I am also waiting for a new cartridge an Ortofon Concorde Elite which should also be delivered today. As soon as I have the setup in the house there will be some pictures and a new post in the coming days. I am looking forward to seeing what this new turntable brings.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi everyone.

First, thank you all for your touching comments and emails regarding the passing of Olivia Newton-John. They have meant so much. I’m not gonna lie, it’s been a rough week. My initial plans were to post all this week, and then my partner and I were planning a vacation next week, but then we got the sad news of Olivia’s passing on Monday and my world sort of stopped. I knew she was ill but did not expect this to happen so soon. Many of you have sent messages asking me to post ONJ material, but honestly, I cannot even listen to her music without getting emotional and crying. My love affair with Olivia began at the age of eight years old when my aunt took me to see “Grease” in the summer of 1978 after that I was Hopelessly Devoted and have been a massive fan ever since. Olivia was like a second mother guiding me through my life journey. I am so grateful for that.

At the moment, the plan going forward is to take my planned vacation next week while trying to get over this huge loss and then resume posting the following week, August 22. I will also be announcing another ONJ project that I have been honored to work on in the coming days.

Thank you for your understanding.

Love & Light, Paul

Hi everyone,

First I want to say thank you for all of the love you guys sent my mom. I passed it along to her and she is very touched by it.

You might have noticed that the older 24bit files are no longer available. I decided to only allow them to be active for seven days. The reason is that recently my site hosting and website security costs increased, therefore, I had to cut something. Paying $40 a month to host 24bit files was getting to be a bit much. The last fundraiser in October was not as successful as past ones due to the pandemic, in which I totally understand. I would urge you to subscribe to BTG, that way you can get an email everytime I make a new post. Then you will not miss out. 16bit files will stay available for at least one year, then I remove them to make space for new files on my server. I have also decided to cut back a little on posting. Posts will not be everyday like before because I have been posting pretty much daily for the last twelve years so I want to slow down a bit to focus on my family, as well as putting out quality transfers that I can take my time working on.

I appreciate all of the support that you guys have given it really means a lot.
