What is it about spinning vinyl?

clearthinker, yes, too big. GT4 is a Cayman, a little smaller. The 3.2 may be the best engine Porsche ever made. I buy cars to drive and the air cooled cars require too much work over time. My C4S is a 997.1, best looking of the water cooled cars, speed yellow. I drive it all year round, it's my daily driver. I know every nut and bolt on the car. The GT3 is a different animal. It is big but boy is it bad assed. 

edgewear! The Mammy Nuns! (Thingfish) 

@whart, it does call me out but there are long periods I can't make it to the web site. I'm too busy documenting BS for the bureaucrats so they can know all about your health history and hang you with it. It's Mike, the mi in mijostyn. You certainly know a lot more about obscure records than I do!

mrmeaner, good for you!. I have a 45 year old patient with muscular dystrophy. He is wheel chair confined but still has a little power in his hands, enough to operate the joy stick in a wheel chair van and on his wheel chair. He is recently retired from teaching music to middle schoolers. He is worse than a dead head when it comes to Rush. Digital is a godsend for him. The secret to a successful life is learning to have fun in spite of it. Then I've  had people with "bad backs" who want to go on disability. Bends my mind.

edgwear, who wore the "nackin's" ? I'd ask why but I think that's to graphic for these light weights:-)

clearthinker, wristwatches are artwork of an insane degree. The Apple watch is junk. I just sold my 911 Turbo S PDK. I have much more fun driving my 06 C4S manual. No more PDKs for me. Been there, done that.
Now GT3 vs GT4? What do you think?

@whart , Do you collect stamps also?

realworldaudio, darn that was a scorcher! High Five! I think your IQ is higher than mine.

@jollytinker , I obviously am very fond of playing vinyl however, there are some excellent files. They are easily as good sounding or better than a lot of vinyl. When I am listening it really does not matter what to. Once I am in my rocking reclining chair, eyes closed remote in the right hand rocking and toe tapping, it really does not matter, it is all about sound. 

tomcy6, you have a sick sense of humor:-) 

edgewear, Evelyn a modified (fill in the blank). You have 2 seconds.......BEEP!  (maybe that was a second and a half). My daughters are expert. My wife's a bit confused. Dynamo Hum, Zappa's curse.

Ralph, I think you need more of whatever edgewear is taking:-)

edgewear, a mutant industrial vacuum cleaner dances about a mysterious night time camp fire. Festoons. Dozens of imported castanets, clutched by the horrible suction of it's heavy duty hose, waving with marginal erotic abandon in the midnight autumn air. This linear progression wreaked havoc on the drug laden minds of flower power adolescents.

Weasels Rip my Flesh, Neon Park, Sailing Shoes, Lowell George, Hot Rats. Circular. 

@whart , There was a record with vertigo swirls on the label. I want to say Strawberry Alarm Clock but I'm not sure.

edgewear, I think Zappa was referring to music, always going round to the same place vs a linear progression but what do I know?

hilde45, probably right but I would modify that to say a deeply routed enjoyable habit vs a self destructive one? Is being and audiophile self destructive? I think it is a safe place to put our quest for stimulus variation. Financially self destructive? I suppose if you haven't the money.
It's not like I refused to get my kids braces or send them to school. It may have supplanted a vacation of two. 

I do know that I love paging through my records much more than running down a list of files. I love paging through records anywhere. We have a local record store which I'll visit when I have a free moment just to flip through the record bins. So, maybe it is a derivation of the record collecting bug. Collecting files is not the same. You only get music, which is fine as far as the music goes. When I want to listen to a piece I'll happily go to whatever format it's in. It is not really a "collection" as there are no physical attributes. 

notnow0329, I never looked at it as being a PITA. It is a ritual. To me it is like shifting a car. Don't have to think about it. Totally automatic. It just happens. 

@lewm, get with it! None of us smoke anymore. We get gummies or drops;-)
