I am one of those My current TT hasn't any dust cover, I build one by myself to protect it from dust and other 'accidents' when it's not playing. With the previous TT (Thorens and Linn) I removed the cover. About the dust while playing, I believe there is no way to really protect records, dust cover doesn't really seal, so I usually clean records with a RCM before playing them.

Thanks Claude! You are a great lobbyst.

Keith Jarrett - FACING YOU - ECM

Resume it. It's ten years since Fabrizio De Andrè left us. Just to have an idea how much he was loved over here, today something like 2000 commemorative events, (concerts, readings, etc,) are going on. 150 FM radio stations broadcasted the same song at the same time. Ciao Faber.

Jan Garbarek - PLACES - ECM

I've got a Japanese Toshiba of that one. Good find at $15 ! Italian equivalent of Oxfam? No, surprisingly an ebay auction wich I was the only bidder. And it's a DG in NM condition! Lately I was outbidded by almost all the auctions I partecipate, call it 'ebay crazyness', or maybe my max bid has followed the stock markets.

Curtis Amy and Paul Bryant - MEETIN' HERE - PJ, mono. Another recent purchase, 15 $, I couldn't pass on it.

ANOTHER Badass album, one of my faves from Curtis. Agree, a recent purchase, when I find a Curtis' record I grab it, whatever I know, or I don't know about it, I was never disappointed.

Curtis Mayfield - SWEET EXORCIST - Curtom.

So what?

And now you are a born again vinyl's worshipper too, aren't you?

Trance jazz? They should play Sun Ra, what else?

Whats the picture of. A bollock? '...at Nottingham Magistrates' Court on 24 November 1977, defending Queen's Counsel John Mortimer produced expert witnesses who were able to demonstrate that the word "bollocks" was actually a legitimate Old English term originally used to refer to a priest, and which, in the context of the title, meant "nonsense".' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never_Mind_th...the_Sex_Pistols http://images.google.it/imgres?imgurl=http...ficial%26sa%3DG

Porn sites charge a lot less than $35 for 45 minutes. So I'm told.

Stonehenge was 'giant concert venue' A university professor who is an expert in sound and a part-time DJ believes Stonehenge was created as a dance arena for listening to "trance-style" music. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechn...cert-venue.html This professor is really smart, I mean every Pink Floyd's fan knew it ages ago.

DVD-RW is rewritable, too. Still have a couple of hundred VHS cassettes (the media was never really cheap, IMO) with music footage - guess I'll convert some of them to x264 files before the video/audio signal vanishes; gotta love VHS chroma noise. DVD-RWs are more expensive then DVD-Rs, so they haven't any place in today's broadcasting industry, at least over here. In this sense VHS was cheap, (and enviromental friendly FWIW) because you could record it over and over, for preview purpose obvioulsy. The solution would be a wireless world in wich the people involved in the production could download from the company's server the rough working editing. BUT, since the editing suites are connected only to a local net, because of virus, and a true broadband is a mirage, I produce dozen of pieces of plastic every month, that usually are dumped.

Well, I hear you, but on the other hand, if I am going to sit down and watch your work, am I going to want to lug it home to my somewhat broke-down VCR or do I want to watch it on the DVD player on my laptop? Actually, I am talking about professional use. Everybody into the business has/had a VHS player at home, office, studio, etc. Things change, I just pointed out some of the plus of VHS vs DVD.
