Haven't played my LP's in 20 years - still good?
A little over a year ago, I was in the same position as you. Upon playing, I found my albums purchased in the 60's, 70's and early 80's were in the same condition as I left them. Of course like folks have suggested, nothing has hit my tt without a...

anyone listen to marching bands?
My son's High School marching band won the BOA (Bands Of America) National competition his Freshman year, and that experience endeared me to sight and sound of a "good" performing band. In fact, a recording was made of his band, and because of the... 
Review: Walker Audio Proscenium Gold Signature Turntable
Rushton: Thanks for the superbly crafted review! As you may recall, via this forum, you helped me renew a record collection that was mothballed for over 20 years, by recommending the purchase of Stravinsky’s “Firebird”, and indeed it was a find. M...
