However, the good thing about it is that the coming of digital age indirectly preserves the value of analog technology. So owning vinyl records is just like having treasure.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.williamsdatamanagement.com/" rel="nofollow">Ruby Badcoe</a><br />Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16314434089797506245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2953251855829266228.post-81067212983870037482013-12-15T16:51:17.001+00:002013-12-15T16:51:17.001+00:00I also have an SRP51 but no manual and wonder whet...I also have an SRP51 but no manual and wonder whether you would be happy to scan a copy for me? many thanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15201543776823176084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2953251855829266228.post-38340933749607228492012-10-11T22:08:23.776+01:002012-10-11T22:08:23.776+01:00Greetings, Porcelina!

Welcome to 'Norton ...A lady after my own heart! Welcome to 'Norton of Morton'. It’s wonderful that you’re in possession of your father’s record player. Unfortunately, fixing things isn’t my forte so I am unable to make an accurate diagnosis to prevent your records meeting a grisly end. <br /><br />Dansettes are magnificent beasts – I am particularly taken with the Bermuda model with the screw-on legs. As far as the more modern players go, the Crosley is a real beauty, available at Urban Outfitters.G.M.

I love the way the sound gradually crackles as it creeps from the speaker whilst it warms up, unfortunately it does have a rather nasty habit of shaving the vinyl as it plays, so I have resorted to a modern albeit 'old styled' one to play my ever increasing collection. <br /><br />There is something wonderful about listening to songs the way they were originally heard, the sound quality is so much richer and the act of putting the record on, knowing that it will only last a precious few minutes, makes it feel so much more of an experience than shuffling on your Ipod for an endless stream of tracks. I think its safe to say I am a fan!<br />Wendy Bayfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07221194102782712793noreply@blogger.com
