lp grunge

Somebody else in here noted the AQ mat being sticky and weird...not that that's a BAD thing...I bought one of those carbon felt anti-static mats and it works great although you do need to do try not to get dandruff on it when leaning over to que something. My useless LPs...all that fun tinkering resulting only in happiness inducing sound...also, I play iTunes lossless and hi-res files on a virtual mat where I have to imagine the tinkering part, which, if you think about it, is a lot of extra work.

To be clear...nobody who has been "brought up" has a "lack up upbringing", or they simply wouldn't be up. Specificity counts in reparte'. I think Rok2id makes some valid points, and all of us who enjoy the sweet sound of analog and marvel at the fact that it works at all (really...dragging a little needle through a plastic groove? insane..) should realize the folly of our ways. In fact...I volunteer to accept all of those crappy (but in good condition) LPs and will dispose of them for you. Hey...I'm a giver...

I was raised in Honolulu...isn't that pretty far south? We learned to tolerate elitist gasbags who reveal their insecurities with snarky claims of superiority. I think it's kinda cute.
