mobile phones are good for this now. Not as pretty though

Is it a gadget or not?, who knows but I use a magic eraser for removing dirt/dust from the stylus. Reading Cybot post above, the dust buster could be an alternative I may try.
I also use a disco anti-stat record cleaner. Great results from this, using the supplied liquid.

I have amazon music. Use it in car via the phone app. And in house when no time to stick the vinyl on. Use the analogue output out of one of the amazon speakers. I'm sure I can improve on that. Used to use google music via chromecast audio before it changed to youtube music. Still have all my cds up...

Its a shame to see the forum go. Who else in Ireland will understand the magic of Quad electrostatics!!!

Looking forward to hearing that Koetsu.

Will there be parking available at the hotel?

Unfortunately I didn't have a courier choice. FedEx was only option from elusive discs.
If or when I receive a bill from FedEx it seems an odd system to deliver then ask for the fee afterward.

Well somehow they did slip up, who knows?
I've ordered before from usa and no vat added then either. All legitimate purchases.
FedEx delivery then local courier delivery

I had budgeted to pay the vat.
Lucky I suppose but do customs check everything?,

Total was 138 dollars including 32 for shipping.

Hi,

This maybe of interest to anyone ordering music from America.
I bought 3 records from elusive discs.
Delivered within 6 days that included the weekend. Packed very well. No issues.
No customs either which was a definite plus.
