 I guess I can not leave y'all in suspense any longer on this one.
The big brown truck brought my turntable this week and I have just
started playing with it. So far, I am happy as a clam. It all worked
as published and I have had no problem other than trying not to
bounce it when I was playing the Frankie Yankovic polka album. It
is hard to keep yourself from bouncing, it's just too much fun.
 I had some issues I using the Audacity software to get out the
pops and nits. The Wanda Landowska harpsicord boxed set was a
real bear. It had all kinds of pops since I couldn't find my
parastat. My sweetheart had packed it away and she knew exactly
where it was after I asked. I spent a lot of time cleaning up the
audio and got them burned to CDs. Two hours of Bach is now in the
can.
 This thing isn't a work of art and it looks like cheap plastic,
but it works exactly the way I want it to work. It will allow me
to have a nice compact system to get a thousand or so albums
copied over when I can get to it.
 Does anyone have any experience on the Audacity software. I have
tried a few of the menu items, but I haven't been adventurous in
trying all the items. Some sound like I would need an EE class to
operate properly.
 Thanks, Roger
