Not long ago, I broke a 1K cartridge, and unless I get a spare 1K, it's not going to be replaced. It seems that those days when I had a spare 1K are long gone.

I have my records on reel to reel and hard drive, so the only thing I'm missing is getting down to eye level with the cartridge and seeing how smooth that cartridge glided over a record; plus the audio of course; but as far as the sonics, they're no better than my digital; as a matter of fact, CD's have improved, and digital is just as good, if not better.

Thanks for a very good story



Well, according to Nielsen, 11.9 million Lps were sold in 2015. That was up 29.8% over 2014, but 2014 was up 52% over 2013. Are Lp sales starting to level off? Time will tell.

Cd sales in 2015 were 125.6 million and album downloads were 103.3 million. Down 10.8% and 2.9% respectively.
