I don't have a lot of sympathy for the "buy a turntable" sneer of the archaic-technology fetishists, but really, "I can't afford one" collapses as an excuse once you've admitted that you can afford to buy CDs. Get up before noon some Saturday and hit a few garage sales and you'll quickly be drowning in $10 and $15 turntables of perfectly servicable quality. -- ::: Lazlo (lazlo@swcp.com; http://www.swcp.com/lazlo) ::: Internet Music Wantlists: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo/Wantlists
