What is happening with carns going around honking like crazy, screaming from cars and fireworks around?

It happened last week, we thought it was for the fact Galatasarai won the cup. I am very curious to know what's going on, they seem be cheering anyway, I don t think it's a form of protest. I am in Haringey green lanes.

Edit: well I don t watch football, but well done for Arsenal ! GG

Is it allowed to stand in the car stationary in front of houses with the engine on to keep the AC ?

I have a car outside my house I am basically getting smoked by their exhaust and my house shakes. I went there and politely asked to switch off the engine which they did, but I was wondering if there is any norm against that. I am in London.

It's been now months that I am trying to find a pair of M44-7 cartridges, the only ones I see available are from Japan, which makes customs very expensive and I don't know if they are not in the right status how it works for refund and if I have to spend more money to ship them back in customs etc.

Anyway, I found a pair in the UK got it shipped, their condition is just gross, the stylus are completely bent even though sold as " in working status " the screws on the cartridge present signs of rust, which makes me think they lived in mouldy environments for long time. I just ask for a refund and shipped them back.

Now I found in a shop the Jico J-44A-7, the price is around 150£ for the single cartridge. Do you have experiences in the comparison between the 2 ? I would love to have the opinion of the ones who had a chance to test both of them. Is it a good buy if I am on the look for the M44-7 but can't find any ?

The main reason why I need the M44-7, else than the sound, is the fact they are the only ones in my studio that do not jump when we dance ( yea, DIY mezzanine you can feel the steps ) all the ortofons we tried just jump.

So in a comparison, do they keep the same balance and tracking ? is the sound comparable ? thanks to everyone who will try to help here.
