turntable. It´s very pretty. Maybe not as pretty as my old rega, but when I crawled back into the appartment after polishing the stairs with my back I sort of just collapsed ontop of it and it broke in two. Thus, as I was in the hospital tripping on all the painkillers in the world some friends of mine was out and bought me a new one, to avoid the terror of having an appartment without a functioning turntable when I got back. And as soon as I figured out how to start it, the button was under it infact, it was blasting out everything I fed it with pristine freshness, nothing makes it flinch or budge, it just does exactly what it´s supposed to. And to my astonishement it does so better than the rega, so I guess breaking some stuff in my back had some positive sides to it after all.
Life blood of the music universe indeed. I don´t think I´ve bought a cd in…3 years, it´s just not the same experience, both buying and listening to vinyl is something completely different compared to cd´s.
It´s a project audio rpm5
[img]http://www.project-audio.com/inhalt/bilder/rpm5.jpg[/img]Apparently there are some discs in your back, and I managed to break a couple of them by falling down the stairs. The fun part of it is that I had just gotten out of the hospital after a stint of (I have no idea what the english word is,) and so I had only 3 days of freedom before I was sent straight back. But they say my back will be good as new, just a lot older, it´ll just take some time to heal, and so I´m a happy camper. Would´ve been boring if I had seriously fucked my back by just falling down some stairs.
My discs in my lower back were smashed at birth
luckily not in a way that I can`t walk.Best of luck Robert 
I got a new turntable last winter.It`s kinda sensitive to big pieces of dust and scratchy records which is annoying cuz it starts skipping.Other than that it sounds ok.oh my, I am glad you came through that ordeal without being confined to a wheelchair. I feel lucky now, I had no idea not walking could be a result of breaking them.
Big pieces of dust ? Aren´t you using a vinyl brush + cleaning your platter now and then SG ?Good to hear you’ll be as good as new
Have lotsa rest, don’t let them take away your painkillers too soon and let it take the time it needs to heal.Thanks maxini, and you need not to worry -I´ve got enough pills to see me through this, and then some.
Back to sweden for christmas ? Glögg and julmust ?"Robert " wrote:Big pieces of dust ?

Lutefisk og pinnekjøtt?
A year or so ago I dated a girl from Falkenberg, she insisted that we from time to time went to ikea to eat meatbolls and bulk up on kalles kaviar and knäckebröd. Wow, christmas with the parents in law, you´re not the young juggler anymore I guess
Lutefisk, pinnekjøtt, ribbe og akevitt !
