    I'm with you! Although I do have a decent Dual table being serviced with a nice SHURE cart on it , it was given to me for nothing by an AK guy from whom I picked up some speakers years ago. I use it to play whatever vinyl I had and the few things I might pick up from time to time at GW. Not really looking for vinyl or collecting it. And I do not own a record cleaning machine. All the fuss around vinyl is "maddening"! I'm already on blood pressure meds so we don't want to aggravate that with records-A High Maintenance Factor worse than a couple of my old girlfriends. lol

    Great cartoon!

    Currently orbiting Bowie's Blackstar.!

    I shared this cartoon with my family.
    My son's comment -- "The same could be said of [photographic] film" :- P
