... same with me - as much as i like vinyl and collecting it since many years - sometime it is also frustrating, like last night when i just wanted to relax by listening to my new purchased record: the montgomery brothers, groove yard, orig mono riverside - looks really close to near mint, but while listening pops and surface noise here and there. at this moment it really makes me unhappy and stressed me so i put on a SACD. i have a ortofon silvermaster cartridge which is in my opinion very sensitive (sometimes too much for old jazz records, although i am only collecting ex to nm vinyl). but vinyl got soul and that's it!

... a good source for pictures is simply the google picture search - you get lots of winners also in different sizes ... i like it more than the automated programs you get for the ipod, like cdart, cdscout etc.

... last week we had some "new" friends from my wife for dinner. i was playing some jazz vinyl for background music (it was an oscar peterson record) - i think he liked it cause he asked which CD was playing. so i showed him the cover of the record. he was so fascinated by it, that we talk the rest of the evening about records ! i wrote him down 10 jazz records to start with, because he wanted to buy the next day a turntable ! so we have maybe soon a new board member who's addicted to vinyl
