After shopping around for the various components, a Craigslist ad caught my eye. So, I needed a working turntable, some speakers and a receiver. My ELAC Miracord 50H turntable needs a new cartridge and stylus (anyone know what to replace it with and where to get it?), the Sony solid-state amplifier I have is nice but lacks a radio receiver, and the crappy mid-80s Realistic speakers I originally used had turned to dust in the intervening decade. Unfortunately, I lacked a few key components. Time to put together a classic stereo system, one that can play all those forms of audio media I painstakingly collected/saved from the landfill. Every treasure repository needs a stereo, right? My bookshelf unit from college had died before the latest move, and after ten years of storage dad evicted my hi-fi gear, records, cassettes and spools of magnetic tape reels. I am a pack rat by nature, and my treasure pile is not inconsiderable. After signing a two-year lease I can fulfill my man cave dream: to have a place where style and taste are dictated solely by me.
