| Mag Lev Turntable. Your Thoughts? Seems like more of a conversational piece, when you're entertaining non audio friends- especially those who like to listen to their phones.Lets see this concept on a SERIOUS platform, by one of the established manufacturers. Not holding my breath. | |
| Classical, Rock, Jazz etc. are your tastes evolving with time?

| And yet another of our heroes passes into the night, RIP Ginger Baker! He's now doing the great gig in the sky.Hanging out with Moon, Bonham and all the rest. No having to deal with trying to cancel your cable TV subscription or traffic. | |
| Ginger The beat goes on...Too young to understand/experience The Cream, or catch Ginger in any of his later accomplishments. I did however get turned on to Cream from a hand me down "Goodbye" a couple of years after its release. Thank goodness for DVD's... | |
