Sorry, I missed your responses! The old Audiogon would notify us of responses to posts...wouldn't it? I've been away so long, I forgot.
Jazzcourier, you're right, this sounds like an ad...I noticed that when I read it over. I can't even remember posting this so maybe that was my thought. If it was...sorry! I might have posted this on Ambien! (I'm not joking.)
Dekay...The ELAD comment cracked me up. We're officially old-school now.
Kleech, you must have been to NZ before. I did play some golf and in Queenstown I went from wearing a polo shirt to a sweater (jumper!) to a rain jacket and then having to race into the clubhouse because of hail! The meat pies are everywhere.
Regarding getting rid of my vinyl: I'm moving around so much it's just too difficult. Vinyl is so heavy and bulky. What I've noticed is that prices have come way down and IMO it's due to the 2007-8 crash. Honestly, the Music Matters 45rpm stuff should have sold out immediately but most titles are still available. The Mosaic stuff has come down at least 30%. Before that date I remember seeing a Zeppelin set in a flight case that I had thought of buying new for around $800 sell for $10,000!
The sad thing about selling all my vinyl is that I had always collected it waiting to be settled in to enjoy it but I realized that I don't like to be settled. I need to keep moving.
