New Turntable

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 The turntable an early Christmas gift is a Technics SL-1200MK7 which is a newer version of the classic Technics 1200.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.

Going Forward

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

April Fundraiser!

Hi everyone,
 
It is April! and time for our first fundraiser of 2022 For those that are new to the BTG community, we have a fundraiser every six months to keep funds in the Burning The Ground PayPal account to go towards site hosting, website security, monitoring, & protection, buying records that are requested, and to maintain my equipment. This year the cost of Hosting and security monitoring have both increased. Site hosting went from $190.00 every two years to $205.00, and security monitoring went from $199.00 yearly to $215.00, not a huge increase but it adds up. These increases are the reason I stopped paying $40.00 monthly to pay for 24bit Flac hosting on Mega.
 
As always our goal is to reach $1000.00 which I know we will meet without any doubt.
 
I do realize that we are living in a difficult time so any amount that you can chip in will be very helpful. I also understand completely if you can’t give anything right now.

All you have to do to make your donation is click on one of the yellow donate buttons anywhere on the site. I use PayPal. It’s safe and secure, and you don’t need an account to make your contribution.

Thank you so much for your help.
