There were only 11 rock titles available and I bought them all. Quickly realized it sounded like sh*t next to my $3000 JA Mitchell Transcriptor Hydraulic Reference turntable with Dynavector Karat cartridge and sold the player as soon as I could and waited for them to get better. Nearly all of those 11 original CD's are now unplayable due to cd rot yet all my LP's still play.
I've not heard of that...
