Here is a part of your scientific research.After checking, which isn't
compete yet,I appear to only have the Dinizio solo cd.I know I have at least
three Smithereens in vinyl.What really disturbs me is I don't know off the
top of my head.What is also disturbing is how many of us are not playing our
vinyl.Tom said he hasn't had a turntable in 10 years.Your vinyl is in
storage.My Thorens is at the shop for a belt and cartridge/cleaning.But
prior to that it was not working for the last 5 years.We seem to be content
with our cd's until a thread like this starts up.
Wonder what Mr.Bash listens to.
