Music: Are you into Vinyls?

They are back in style.

What would you give me for my 1,500 plus collection? There are some gems in that lot.

In a parallel development, the thermionic valve, or vacuum tube, technology is also back in vogue. My interest at the moment is in the audio application of it, but do understand that there is much more to it than audio alone.

The VRCA (Vinyl Record Collectors Association) has been in existence since about the turn of the millennium and I joined up with them 4½ years ago. Yes, sir, vinyl is very much alive. My near-term intention is to build something employing some of this newer tube technology, fed by vinyl on turntable.

The more things change is the more they stay the same, they say.

Always had my vinyls

Am always in the market for Caribbean classics.

The 1200s are looking a bit battered, but mechanically sound.
