I have had a turntable hooked up to my office system with the 'good intentions' of putting all my records onto CD. Never got to that one. A few days ago I decided to play a record and was I surprised at how good it sounded. I know that when CDs came out I thought that they were far superior to the old records; but, the truth is that records sounded excellent when we used them. It was a real wake up call to realize that the record sounded amazing. So, in my new system in my rec room, I have nothing but older components. The Gemini turntable with the MXR130 that I am rebuilding and I found a pair of ADS L780 speakers in my son's garage. My sister had sent them to him when she upgraded, he had stopped using them quite a while ago, so they were damaged and covered in dust. I found a place on the web that specializes in reconditioning that brand and sent them off to be fixed. For $200.00, I got a completely reconditioned set of speakers to use. Now, I can spin those 'platters' again.

It has been a long time since I put a vinyl record on my Christmas list. But, after listening to some of my saved records, I decided that it was time to get some new ones. I am sure that the people seeing my list were going "what the hell". My choice was the new Florence and the Machine. It should be interesting seeing the faces of my friends when I put on my new record. Papajoe
