      I have a vinyl LP enroute from Great Britain as I type this.

      Selling my current turntables to upgrade to a new one that's made in Delavan, WI, about 20 minutes from here.

      In listen to at least 1 album every day. I just sit there and listen. No phone or anything. Just listen.

      Here's another one you could get.

      The entire turntable has been machined from a single block of aluminium and includes only two output jacks on the side of the enclosure; power comes from a USB Type-C 5 V connector and the internal phono pre-amp is connected to a 3.5mm output (which can be used as a headphone jack or 3.5mm to RCA output).

      If you’re still looking for the tonearm and cartridge — give it up.

      There is no tonearm to adjust, no complex settings—just place the vinyl upside down, press Play, and the 0.4 x 0.7 mil elliptical diamond stylus does the rest. Waiting for Ideas does not specify if the PP-1 utilizes a MM or MC cartridge, but it’s mounted upside down to read the grooves.

      The other rather interesting feature is the self-learning closed-loop speed control, that figures out if you are playing a 33.3 or 45 rpm record.

      Only USD$6000

        I wouldn’t pay more than $5,800 for that.

          Anybody who really valued their vinyl collection would surely invest in a laser-turntable, which reads the disk without contacting it.

          And for $11,0000, you get CD quality transfer of data, at only 30 times the price of a decent CD player!

          I was only joking

                  The Venn diagram of people young enough to bother setting up a ring tone and people old enough to use their phones for calls don’t overlap.

                    I have a ringtone of the pocket watch chimes from the spaghetti western For a Few Dollars More. Have used it going on 18 years. Very few people recognise what it is or the story behind it.
