I've always had this aching thought that if I ever had to quit drinking, I'd have to sell off my stereo too. The two seem to go hand in hand ever since I was a kid. However I gave up vinyl in the 80's. I'd never trust my wife, even sober, with an expensive vinyl setup.
Alcohol + Vinyl = Disaster...
I aways try to stay away from 'home' so to speak, when I have consumed some alcohol.
The reason: I know I will try to play some LP's and I know I will smash the cartridge into the record. Period. (I do not trust myself when I get 'phylosophical'.)
Luckely it has not happened to me yet. I have heard some dreadful stories of vinyl lovers busting a +/-$2000 pick-up when 'intoxicated'. Shame!
I guess there is some very 'interesting' stories regarding this subject... please do share.
Kind regards,
Dewald Visser
