| Is It Common For Questions About Gear For Sale To Go Unanswered? @dill -- I will assume the best intent.

| What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs? @ross6860 -- Amen on the fishing gear. One son will go with me if I ask, the other son couldn't catch a cold. The son that will fish only knows how to use a spinning reel....kind of. I've left my wife written instructions on what to do with my ... | |

| Seeking Recommendations For A Record Cleaner Thanks for the input, guys. I will look at the other models mentioned here. I have not done a lot of research on Ultrasonic Record Cleaning machines. I'll research the Pros vs Cons. Again, thanks. | |

| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @neonknight Might I suggest an Option 3: You give ME one of the turntables and then your choices aren't as vast. Just a thought 😉. Your name strangely mirrors the dilemma put forth in your post and the opening lyrics to the Dio led Black Sabb... | |

| How long do speakers last? I'm so sorry @ieales, I guess you are a FAR BETTER expert on the freaking sound of the speakers in my house that I've listened to for 35 years and you've heard, um.....never. Thanks for educating my ears. As hard as it is to believe, some speake... | |
