Just get Spotify. Even the crustiest old music fans I know have thanked me profusely after nudging them to it. Every song, artist, playlist, bespoke station, and sounds much better than compressed files.
If any of you are interested, go to my FB page ‘The Isle of Man Music Indulgence Society’ and get a taste of the collaborative playlists we build each week.
Keep the vinyl and get rid of everything else, Ferret!

Precisely. I don’t think the retro models are trying to fool anyone, other than those who don’t know they aren’t old bikes, and approach us and say, ‘man, nice restoration!’
I live in a town with a good number of Dutch Colonial homes, and many newly built homes attempt to go retro by using mansard roofs. Most folks aren’t fooled, and even fewer take umbrage.
