Can't let that secret out to too many people, could cut our own throats. 
I've learned not to go with my girlfriend though, she doesn't like it when I 
plant myself infront of boxes of records, it's usually a marathon session.

I don't have any 78's anymore. I traded them all for LP's. When I bought my 
turntable (Sony PS 22) I had the opportunity to by a Kenwood "Rock" turntable 
(the turntable that was put into a granite base), I still don't know if I 
bought the right one.
