45 RPM...

The days of finding 45 rpm records at flea markets, thrift stores, garage sales, and even record stores is fading fast in the iPod/digital device age...
Have hunted 45s for many years. Love the ritual of dropping the needle into the groove, watching it spin, hearing a few dull clicks, crackles, pops, hisses, the label art, etc.

Unfortunately, hearing these records pressed and converted into digital files diminishes the sound a lot. It just doesn't give a warm analog sound records have. To hear a vinyl 45 through speakers and an amp is quite stunning. But it will have to do. Happy listening.
