"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
16 June 2005Following my own adviceWhich, as many of you know, I don't often do. I've just ordered this little darb for myself, mostly because it weighs rather less than my turntable-receiver combination and takes up rather a lot less space. (More specifically: My actual receiver, which dates to the quadraphonic days, measures, per the owner's manual, 7.125 by 20 by 15.875 inches and weighs 44 pounds. That's a hell of a lot to lug halfway across the house just to rip some vinyl, which in turn must be lugged from a different location.) I will report as time and circumstances permit. I paid the usual $399 price — this thing is never on sale, after all — but the dealer (a New York outlet with which I am familiar) is picking up the tab for UPS ground shipping. Ooh, I want one! Though I was going to try and hook my ancient, 80s-era Kenwood up to the computer and try to record them that way. I even bought a six-dollar connector doohickey for the purpose. I have yet to actually move the stereo into the room where the computer is to do this thing. (I have all these albums that I bought for basically one or two songs, and I'm sick of lugging them around.)

But as I get older, I look for ways to do things that don't require so much heavy lifting. Man, that is super cool! I gotta get one of those. I am curious where do you get the discwasher fluid for your discwasher? I still have mine but the fluid is long gone.
