Okay, seriously, we have to find this guy and have him explain that 80's haircut. I'm sure his grandkids give him grief all the time, heh heh. Ah, it happens to us all.

@PleatherGirl I'm sure frank feels like everyone else who spent their hard earned money on cds..... Free I can't wait for the cloud to become what it shall be HUMAN INFORMATION BELONGS TO EVERYONE LOL

This is amazing! I wonder how Frank feels now?

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE FIRST SONG IS ??????

@bfudge85 Compressed sound is quality reduction. Signal to Noise ratio's, etc. etc. Read about it on the net, since you were born in 1985, you most likely would know more about the net than how to spell CONVENIENCE correctly.
-
@80sOldSkool your statement is null and void. not only do i get conveniance i also get quality.
-
@80sOldSkool Don't know too much about B & O turntables. I run a Rega P3 with the RB300 tone-arm & glass platter. Best bet would be to google the model you are interested in and find what the experts have to say.
-
@80sOldSkool Just a question, do you know if bang and olufsen turntables are any good?
-
@bfudge85 That's a matter of convenience over quality.
