Some good artists there. Haven't checked out new music in awhile. I'll have to remember to look for some of them.

Uh oh, a bunch of people who sound like they're over 25 talking about music, can't stay away - hopefully I'm not the only guy who has a turntable and a bunch of ancient LP's?

i have an old AR turntable that is so manual that in order to change the spped, i have to remove the platter and move the belt from one pulley to another on the spindle. i still have a few MicroAccoustic cartridges i bought 25 years ago or thereabout when they went out of business.

Now THAT's impressive!! :D 

Nothing really sounds like vinyl does it? I'll have to admit that I've picked up CD's and mp3's to get cleaned up versions of some of the old severely re-trenched albums that were played for awhile with a brick-for-a-cartridge turntable, but even then I've still got the old plastic around.

Also glad to see that some reputable folks are selling decent bitrate drm-free mp3's these days, great way to fill in some of those holes. Not going to turn this into spam, but when I found out about it I had to fight hard not to be a kid-in-a-candy-store.

I had to (well, not "had to") shop for a new turntable a few years ago, thought for awhile there just wasn't anything between bottom-end and top-end, but after looking fairly hard I was glad to see that there are still at least some still being made in the middle. Had to look a little harder to find a cartridge/stylus that's primary function wasn't to be dragged back and forth around the album  :LOL:
