OK, I've always been one of those guys who has preferred CD because it sounds good without all the fuss; but there's still a lot of stuff out there that's vinyl only. For the past 23 (yes 23) years I've depended on my trusty Sony linear-tracking turntable to transpose my vinyl onto cassette, then minidisc, then digital. I've uploaded the most recent things to someplace you might know. However, my trusty turntable died last week. I tried to get it fixed, but I was told over and over "don't fix that piece of shit, buy a Technics." So I broke down and bought a refurbished Technics 1200. Still calibrating it but I must say after testing it with a bootleg of Madrugda Eterna (club mix) the thing sounds amazing!

I also stumbled across this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gyvipBs6Vs

So, I've glued-up my crackly copy of Madrugda and will let you know how it goes. Looking forward to upping a bunch of new freshly cleaned rips soon!
