yep. Boxed it up and shipped it to Boston today. Arm too. Now I have a few hundred LP's to get rid of. Paid upwards of $375 each for some of the sealed test pressings. Got a rare Beatles "yesterday and today" with the banned cover, and a bunch of limited edition numbered audiophile pressings of the stuff nobody listens to anymore--you know, those dead companies like DCC and Mobile Fidelity? But, since vinyl is dead, I guess all this is worthless. Tomorrow is recycling day in my neighborhood, but they only take newspaper (I'm weighting it down with my ARC PH3 and the HW-16.5 and the Walker Motor Drive), bottle glass, and plastics 1 and 2. What number is 200gm virgin vinyl? I guess I can burn the jacket covers. Keep me warm during the ice storms later this year.waiting for the new DSD titles. Long live the 5-inch digital disk (at least until they press "Frampton Comes Alive" in gold SACD)! Do you think CD's will still be around in Y2K + 1 ?
Oh it's a brave new world we live in: a "New Frontier". (You say there's a race, of men in the trees? I wait all night, for calls like these, calls like these...)
