So far so good.

The premises behind sides taken on typical ob/sub
debates here indistinguishable from each other in terms of higher
reason.

?????????????????????

I assumed that ob/sub would be easily identified as an admittedly lazy
reduction of objectivist/subjectivist.

That I get. It's the indistinguishability that I don't get.

If you can't tell the difference between the logical planes inhabited by
so-called objectivists and subjectivists, then there's no benefit to trying
to reason with you or for your benefit.

If you call name-calling and spending money like a obsessive sucker
at Las Vegas fun, then I really don't have the time...

Isn't your applying the term "obsessive sucker" to a broad range of
people you disagree with taking the time to engage in name-calling?

I was describing a specific kind of behavior, not call specific people bad
names.

Thanks, but I do know those albums.
In fact, I think I have everything Herbie ever recorded, on CD or LP.
He's my all-time favourite piano player ( I play piano myself, so that
might explain why).

J.S. Bach: Brandenburgse Konzerte by Gustav Leonard & Orchestra.

You are really courageous.
I've copied nearly all my LPs on CD.
I don't understand where you find the courage to turn and clean these
things twice in 40 minutes.

I hardly see this as a problem.
Everything should be "interactive" these days, no? :-)


It's not a problem for many of us. Also, it is definitely not necessary
to clean LPs more than once, provided that an appropriate cleaning
solution and
method is used. A carbon fibre brush generallly can take care of any dust
that
might be on an already-cleaned record. Unlike the digital bigot from
Detroit and his Californian puppet, I don't think its worth while to trash
peoples'
preferences.

BTW this preserves them from my terrible Technics turntable
agressions... ;-)

Oh well.........go find yourself a good ERA at the pawnshop :-)


That might be a cost-effective way to go. Or how about a used Rega or
Project
turntable. They are relatively inexpensive in the USA, so I would guess
they
would be even cheaper in Europe. Just make sure whatever you get is belt
drive.

eBay is another source for turntables, sometimes bargain-priced.

I also have an old Thorens one in my basement which need a new "cellule" (I
don't know the name in english) and also a new stylus, it's a big wooden
thing with an awful heavy "plexiglass cap". ;-)
I haven't had the idea to put it on eBay, thank you for the tip Bruce. )









I obviously wasn't suggesting that you dump your turntable, but since you feel
that vinyl playback is too much of a bother for you and not worth the enjoyment
you might derive, do whatever you want, of course. In general, proiducts sold
on eBay in need of fepair or hard to sell for any reasonable amount. Since you
have a Thorens, a very decent brand, why not find out from a reputable dealer
how much it would cost to fix? You would then be in a better position to sell
it to finance your digital preferences .
