By

vinyl_recordYears ago I had converted some of my LP’s to digital. Since then my record player (henceforth refereed to as a turntable) had died and my LP’s were stored away. I’ve recently decided to bring that music back to life.

Why?
1 – Because I enjoy both the sound and the experience of playing LP’s.
2 – To bring some of that sound and experience to my digital collection.
