There are some minor downsides.

So, um, would you like a (potentially) better turntable? The Smashing Pumpkins -- Adore Mono remix vinyl.

Is it messing with the page width? I'll prune.

FW400 is history, sacrificed for one extra USB port. Looks like they couldn't shrink it much over the previous generation, so they settle for slimming the foot.

She will be mine. Oh yes. Nice to see the chin shrinking still further. The one with the Core i5 in is going to smoke! Perhaps literally.

Quad-core, 27-inch LED iMac with 16 gigs of RAM. Yeeeeeeeeesssss pleeeeeeeeaaaasssseee!

Present Perfect, official tense of HC gear discussions!

But you give up the optical drive for the extra storage. \ PS: Dan, are you on commission from Metric Halo these days?

Joy Division -- Closer Rhino vinyl.

I'll take "Things Everyone Here Will Overdo Eventually" for $100, Alex.

Anyone have any recommendations for LP holders/organizers that can fit into existing shelving? Thinking of your basic toast-rack sort of concept, although Googling "record racks" yields this instead, not that I'm particularly surprised.

Only under laboratory conditions.

At the risk of sounding like somebody's uncle -- vinyl, tubes and Sennheiser!

The Smiths -- The Queen Is Dead New Rhino vinyl.

I know everyone is like soo over the HD800 -- gag me with a JH13 -- but these puppies are wicked with a good analog source. That slightly clinical edge is perfectly set off by the more natural and energetic presentation you can get from vinyl. In fact, for the first time, I prefer listening to the Senns over the Quads. They grew balls, Dinny!

This matte black thing is taking off. Dusty, trend setter.

This for the win!

The Verve -- Urban Hymns Vinyl.

Happy Birthday. Buy tubes!

Rilo Kiley -- Under The Blacklight Vinyl.

And the computer audio thing blurs the line even further. I have more vinyl on the hard drive than in the record rack. Who cares as long as it sounds good!

I might re-acquire a Duet eventually and give that a shot.
