My little old component style Panasonic boom box that sits on my desk in the furnace room in the basement of my house had its CD player take the dirt nap months ago. So the FM radio still works but I've got my stack of "Mongrel's 100 Greatest CDs" standing idle excerpt for a few that make it into the car. I thought that Santa Claus would get me a new one but that fat fucque neglected to bring it here. But he did prod the Old Lady into permitting me to go buy another guitar amp after she figured out that she had no idea what I wanted. And I didn't either and had to go try a bunch before I found The One which I did and it came home with me. It has tubes (which the Brits and their colonists call "valves") and I've been having loads of fun playing through it and deciding how I'll modify it.
I'm done with vinyl and have been for over 30 years. My wife has quite a collection that she won't sell. I'll be damned if I'm going to go get a turntable and stereo amp to listen to any of them however good they may be.
I had that Doors record too. If I had the money I spent on cocaine used listening to Police records in the 1980's, I could buy a decent used Porsche or Ducati. Re: the Police...... Hands up. Don't shoot.
