Who gets to use your Turntable?


For those of you with a relatively large investment in you Turntable/Arm/Cartridge combo - Do you ever let others drop the needle???

@parkergetdean I got creamed by a car riding my bicycle and ended up in trauma surgery with a broken femur. The dumbass motorist paid for that turntable (and other stuff, and then some) after my lawyer got on the case. smiley

I do kinda have walls around it....a dedicated listening room, just for the hifi and record collection.

ouch, I am so sorry to hear that @dwette . Probably not the painless way to go get audio gear. Happy listening though!

Yeah, I would rather have my old turntable and a femur without titanium reminding me when the weather is cold out. Some idiot almost creamed me again the other day, in my own neighborhood. Ugh.

I bike every day too and have a lot of close calls. Drivers are getting worse. Not one day without one idiot honking at me while I IN the bike lane. They can't fit their stupid trucks and SUVs in one lane

Oh, don’t get me started. I’ve cycled nearly 70k miles in the last 12 years, and never got hit until May 2023, and then again Nov 2024. I ride with HD/4K cameras front and rear. My lawyer has collected nearly a half million from those motorists, and that video takes the "he said, she said" argument completely out of the equation.

First time I upgraded my turntable to a Clearaudio Innovation, with a 2nd tonearm. 2nd time I upgraded again to the Master Innovation, with a third tonearm. I’m all for making motorists finances hurt, when they hurt me for no good reason that’s 100% avoidable.
