More wine = better sound (subjective) up to a point when you start not to care or start breaking things as you change records.    Someone should do an analysis to see what the optimal amount of wine consumption is for maximal enjoyment! 

Now we're talkin'!  Heading into a 3-day weekend--it's time to put on my (wine stained) lab coat!

2 glasses the first hour, one glass every hour after that.

That sounds like a prescription.  Are you a patient of the Devil Doc, Tyson?

I can relate to that!  Be relating to it tonite in fact.

Wait a minute, you guys are using new age math. That doesn't work for old age vinyl....

That is why I have multiple turntables. I can put 3 in rotation at one time, so at 1000 hrs per deck, I have 3000 hrs of potential use...no? But I also have 3 other cartridges and 6 replacement stylii in stock. Don't tell me OCD is bad!~

Averaging about 1 to 2 hours per day, I think I'm covered. I do not have any Cadenzas, however I do have Budweiser 55 and that fills in the analog gaps just fine!

Has anyone ever thought about how much it costs to play a record?

For simplicity, let's go with $1 an album and say a conservative 10 albums a week (some such as Wayner will do way more than that)   That's $10  a week or $500PA.  Lets assume a wage of $1000 a week.  That's only 1%.  I give the taxman a far greater percentage than that let alone my percentage expenditure for car/transport, food and fuel costs.

But you're right.  If I give up records and live for another 50 years say, I'll save a whopping $25,000.  Only problem is without good music, I wouldn't (want to) live that long.   Goes for the wine too so I'm off to replenish the cellar today and maybe order another Jico!

As a 27 year teetotaler, just think of the money I'm saving!
