It doesn't sound right -until it sounds right! 
Anti Static
This (new) version is a shadow of the original issued in the 80's. You could feel and almost see the energy shooting out. Not to mention the new one is ridiculously overpriced.

I wonder if they can adapt this for the hair follicles on my head? 
Please Critique my Setup and Recommend Upgrade(s)

Bad vinyl
If you intend to use your new vinyl (not "sealed" investment), play ASAP and listen for defects. I've been burned because I didn't play and could not return. Won't happen again. Also, look for warping and "dishing".
