turntable

turntable by Idle Type.
The turntable that Airhen bought me for Christmas is playing Purple Rain really loud.

UPDATE: I've been searching around Flickr and elsewhere lately, and this image appears to be stolen by others on a regular basis -- so much so that I'm getting comments from people accusing me of stealing my own work! So, please, people, have enough decency to respect my copyright on this picture. I'm not a stickler about the use of my photos, and if you ask me for something, I'll probably be happy to comply, but I expect to be offered a link back if you post this image somewhere. A link makes all the difference to me -- it tells me that you're not trying to pass this photo off as your own, and it sends traffic my way, which makes me happy.

Also, I am flattered that many of you have told me that you are using this as your desktop wallpaper. I have no issues with that. Feel free to continue to do so (and if somebody asks you where you got such a cool image from, maybe you'll send them my way), but if you upload an image of your desktop background for all the world to see, I'd also appreciate a link, just like this fine person did. The background image is mine, and she gave me a credit link. That's all I'm asking for!

Great retro look. I love the way the red stands out against the record's black.

Yes, vinyl, yes! I have an old good German Dual player. No, I am not going to sell it. And I keep on buying (second hand) vinyls!

This is it. I can plug my giant compute speakers into the side, and it's good to go. You just have to love that crackling vinyl sound.

My kids have no idea what these are used for....funny, when I was their age this is all I did. Listened to my music. If I gave them one and told them to "use" they would go outside and play frisbee with it...no doubt.
