My wife just doesn’t “get it” when it comes to my collecting vinyl! Your comments are just so spot-on, maybe I should make this video compulsory viewing for her…. Perhaps then she would […]

I’d never had a sub before and it’s a monstrous difference.

I’m not trying to do it pro level or anything though. I just want the convenience of being able to listen to my records on the go. I do think it works well.
