   Hello Ward!

   I have a modest collection. Only about 800-1100 LPs. Maybe     
   about 400-500 45's.  I haven't put them to much use since the     
   quality of sound is noticeably not as good as I remembered some     
   of them to be.  The speakers are fine, and professionally     
   rebuilt. Maybe my ear is conditioned to the more consistent     
   sound from a CD.  However, I learned that a new needle/    
   cartridge pair is probably long overdue. It is recommended that     
   the needle be replaced every few hundred hours of play.   
      
   What make/model of record player do you have?   
      
   I've gone through several, but ultimately received a fine     
   Pioneer PL-A35.  I love the steampunk look of the balancing/    
   pressure mechanism with the wire and weight.
