Here's a pic I just shot of her on the bench (had to move the Pioneer PL-15 turntable out of the way first....).

I've been modding CD players lately too, quite interesting, and fantastic results. However, you just can't beat the feeling you get
from playing an LP or a tape. I think it all has to do with the ritual of the actions, and the 'touchability' of the physical media.

whoa that looks fab jason......... admittedly i only had eyes for nakamichi decks
you must have noticed that you needed to play back on the same deck it was recorded upon as the slightest misalignement of the playback head turned the best recording into mud no matter what deck it was recorded on!
by the way jason, what exactly are you modding on cd players...... i am intrigued!
