While I generally understand the ultra-high-end market, I can't help but roll my eyes at six-figure turntables that don't even spin at 78 RPM and have the exact same measurements as the $10k Technics SP-10R, $20k if you count the plinth and equivalent tonearm.

You are lucky...

Oliver Sacks taught us a lot because neurological problems may be very specific in individual case and impossible to describe if not by a mini novel  describing the patient life ... I admire him and his books are very precious to me...

the episode you alluded to was put in movie which i will remember with his book forever...

 

When I was in medical school, we did our neurology at Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx, where I think Oliver Sachs was on staff and where work was done using dopamine to treat “frozen” Parkinson’s Disease patients, who were at that time thought to have a form of chronic encephalitis associated with the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic.
