I don't know why anyone would want to listen to a record.  Snap, crackle, pop. . . 

 

Get a Bose Soundlink Color II: Super simple to use, portable and great sound!

@Sooner  Maybe it's just me but I like the imperfection of the original.  I know it drives the musicians and audiofiles nuts but I like it.

@Laura14  Count me among them. I am a musician and a audiofile too so your description fits.    I wouldn't want to go back from the full rich sound records can't duplicate, and also without the annoying noise of records.

 

I am so happy digital music happened in my lifetime!  

 

Enjoy the records!

@Laura14  My hubs is into that sort of thing....he recently acquired a '40s era Philco radio - it works - he also has a reproduction radio

 

ETA:  just checked inside the "lid" of my hub's repro radio/record player and it says Victrola.....

But I have a ton of rewards points coming this weekend when the month turns and I think it might be my Christmas gift to myself if I can get a good enough price.
