Vinyl Record Sales Up In 2009 (and My Stereo 'System' is Down).

The NY Times recently featured an article about this trend.

Meanwhile, my new old stereo 'system' is driving me crazy at the moment. I am fighting with slipping belts, crummy wires, bad inputs, and porrly matched equipment. The arm on my turntable was 'upgraded' - several owners ago - but it makes it impossible to close the turntable cover when playing records...this kind of thing. At the moment, the 'system,' such as it is, is down and I am without analog music...CDs and Itunes. Aaargh!
So, I am in the early stages of figuring out what to do next. Playing and listening to music is like owning a house - always projects, maintenance and upgrades....
