Hi Randyman,
Thanks. Questionable taste, I know, but I just thought I should do my part in recycling--all that silicone going to waste. . .
Yes, it was fun tweaking those old turntables; sadly, there's nothing to tweak with CD players in the digital era. But I'm generally happy not having to deal with all those old bugbears of analog playback: audible flutter (even on the recordings!), rumble, whole percentage distortion from phono cartridges on loud passages (many generated 5 - 7% distortion on widely modulated loud passages), woofer flap, cartridge alignment, tonearm setup, meticulous cleaning and de-staticizing, the list goes on and on...
I love the nostalgia of the LP jackets and artwork, but I can do without all of the above, thank-you.
Regards,
