Van Morrison "Duets"
I'm listening to side 3 of duets before starting my day and it is no embarrassment at all. The performance by Van, the band, other vocalist and the engineers are all first rate.Again, if I took this performance as a concert I would be mightily imp... 
Go buy Paul Simon's "1 trick pony"
Ebay does have a couple of cassettes posted. If NOS they might make for a great transfer.......but the vinyl sounds really good.

BTW, stay away from compressed air as it can create moisture and freeze components.

Recommendation for a 12 year old
U turn or an older Pioneer pl512, pl514. Rega p1, p2 or Nad or Rotel. Sonograph and Aniston also made good tables. You might even get a Linn Axis or thorens td 150 or 160 series.

What's with the buyers these days??
I haven't had that problem. Sorry to hear that you have.

Oh, I thought you might have mesured it. My non messurement experience has not been the same as yours and I have been running high current demanding amps out of them. However, this is anecdotal and not empirical, since I never measured it. Althoug...
