Technology moves fast these days, and sometimes it's hard to keep up. Just the other day, I came across this:
Wow! Stereo 360° Sound! Wait, what's this? For best results use stereo needle.
So now I have to get one of those new-fangled cartridges with a stereo needle, that's gonna like cost me big bucks. Or I could just take my parents' turntable setup off their hands, it's not like they're using it anyway. And so I'm the proud owner of this:
Zee owner's manual, zit is in German, and a bunch of other languages.
Zee turntable. Now I can enjoy Simon & Garfunkel in 360° stereo sound!
Also in keeping with the retro theme, a vacuum tube FM tuner and a vacuume tube amplifier. I am now completely immune to EMP in case of a nuclear war.
Now in 360 Stereo Sound!

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.

Dual is a German company as far as I know, but I'm not sure if my dad bought the turntable while he was still living in West Germany or after he moved to Canada. The manual's pretty neat, it's printed on thick quality paper with full colour pictures and diagrams, it's actually made to last.

Picture from part of the owner's manual.
It's about a 40 page manual so it's pretty comprehensive, man those Germans are thorough!
My dad says he bought the turntable in Canada, but it was directly imported from West Germany.

The black 12" vinyl discs are already piling up, but looking on the bright side, at least he isn't collecting those old Edison cylinders.

I like Celine Dion myself. Her ballads alone....they make me go all teary-eyed and shit.
