The troubled times at the National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) seem to be far from over. First it was the resignation of top boss Ravi Kumar, last week it was the setback in the High Court in its fight against the commodities regulator and now for reasons beyond its control, one of its investors is facing the heat. Goldman Sachs will have to divest 2 per cent of its 7 per cent stake in the exchange as it violates the norms, which cap the limit per foreign investor at 5 per cent. Though the stake was bought from ICICI Bank in 2006 and the norms came into effect in 2007, the company finds itself in a corner.
Here's a wonderful suitcase player from the late 50's by RCA. It's a true portable "Hi-Fi" record player featuring a 4 tube push-pull amp feeding a pair of speakers with volume and tone controls along the side. The amp has been rebuilt, the player mechanism cleaned-lubed-adjusted, all new rubber inside, & the cartridge has been replaced with a more modern 52T Sonotone ceramic stereo cartridge bridged for mono. These are amongst the best sounding 45 RPM record players in the industry, whether they be like this portable player OR the #7HF45 RCA table models. They have PLENTY of clean volume and a wide range of tone with the adjustable tone control. If I had my choice of only one (1) portable MONOPHONIC 45 RPM record player to take to a party, this would be my choice! This is my #1 recommendation (including the wood table models) for someone looking to purchase a GREAT sounding, 45 RPM only, monophonic Hi-Fi record player at a reasonable price. You just can't go wrong - they sound simply marvelous!! I hope you enjoy not only this video but all of the others I've put up on YouTube showcasing the great 45 RPM record players available in the 50's!
"The project (part one)" is taken from the album "Studio Works" (IRM 894 CD - 2009) available on www.msol.biz Low Fidelity Jet-Set Orchestra is the side project of Dave Masoch and Paolo 'Apollo' Negri, who already released an album as Modulo5 ('Soundsational Movements') for IRMA in 2007). Their first album under this moniker, 'Searching For a Bit Of Popularity', was released by HammondBeat Records in Portland (USA) and some of the tracks were included in the soundtrack of the movie 'Sex Galaxy', produced by Stags Film in Chicago, inspired by 50's naive sci-fi style. The sound of the album was on the Nu Funk, Modern Jazz and Exotica tip, but with a very fresh approach. 'Studio Works' is Low Fidelity Jet-Set Orchestra's second album and continues on the soundtrack path set by the previous work, digging even deeper into that direction and capturing the typical Jazz/Rock sound of European labels of that period, like KPM, Conroy, Bruton and DeWolfe, just to name a few. 'Studio Works' therefore could be easily filed in the 'Library' and 'Background Music' sections, covering all aspects of these genres: from the Funk/Rock of 'Groovy Motion', through the Smooth Jazz of 'Value For Money', on to 'The Project' (divided in two simmetrical parts) and 'The Amplifier', two Funky episodes with unmistakable breaks, to the Electro-Jazz of 'Watts & Impedence', to the Hyp Rock of 'Pitch Control'. The album contains twelve tunes recorded with great musicians of international fame, hailing <b>...</b>
This is a video of my vintage General Electric 7-4691A Fidelity I clock radio. It is from the late 1970s or early 1980s. This unit is by far one of the best performing and sounding units in my collection, I actually use it every day. It likely contains some GE Superadio components per vwestlife, and it performs like it does. This blows most any other clock radio away...it is an awesome piece of equipment. Not bad for $6.00 at the thrift store. Again, another relic from a bygone era...enjoy!
