Started buying records in the 60's. I never got rid of my vinyl but I stopped buying it mid-80s when CDs became so darn convenient. Remote control music was (is) awesome! But digital music has never really moved me the way my old albums did. (Or maybe cuz I stopped smoking pot about the same time I started buying CDs.)
Went into a Barnes & Noble a few weeks ago. It was amazing seeing all that vinyl on display. So...
I'm shopping for a TT and this time I'm really gonna put forth an effort into learning how to mount & adjust a cartridge. Hope that goes well. Factoring in the dope buzz, my eyesight and fingers make my current dexterity about equal to back then.
I come across my trusty old Discwasher brush every so often. The whole process of selecting, unsheathing, setting down, and brushing the disc was such a beloved ritual. Now there's record washers that cost more than my stereo and bigger than my clothes washer.
Somebody really needs to re-introduce the old technology of record changers. Remote control has spoiled me.
