I would recommend getting something solid. A Direct Drive table is best, especially if you have want to spend the money on one that you'd like to keep for a long time. Other record players run on belt drives and belts wear out over time.

Interesting...I'll have to put my friend Google on this...

 

I am entertaining the notion of restoring a vintage turntable/credenza type thing, or even possibly modernizing one so that it can not only play vinyl but also digital music.

WHAT?

 

WHAT?

 

HUH?

 

For example, I have the Radiohead In Rainbows discbox, I want it to appreciate in value, so it's not played. I have a first pressing of Mer de Noms by APC, it cost me $100, so no play. I have lots of color vinyl and collecters items, so I don't want to degrade the vinyl. I have Underoath's vinyl boxset of their album Lost In The Sound Of Separation, no play as it cost me $90. I haven't even opened the Radiohead The King Of Limbs newspaper album set.

Yeah, I understood what you were saying...I guess I'm just not into collecting things for monetary value like that...if something is really worth collecting, IMO, it should be enjoyed as well...

I don't strictly collect for that reason. I really enjoy the aesthetics of vinyl, the big cover art, the large form media and everything else.

I got what I asked for except a new electric razor. Actually, I did receive an electric razor, but it was my recently deceased grandfather's :unsure:

 

My mother gave to me, and she told me that it was expensive and good as new. But the thing is, it actually wasnt. The grips on the sides were worn out, and my grandfather's dead skin and facial hair are still in the head of the razor. Yeah, I have to get a new one. It would creep me the hell out using it.

Yeah, I think the friend is holding the other ticket for herself?

 

 

Yeah, my best girlfriend got us a pair of tickets for when the death star comes to Chicago. So technically, yeah... I just got one ticket. But it's my favorite present this year and I couldn't be more excited. :)
