OK, I think I might have passed some sort of Geek threshold here. But I couldn't resist using a Cyber Monday coupon I received to order the Ion USB Turntable. It's not a bad record player and has the wonderful benefit of having a built in pre-amp, and a USB output to your computer for converting to mp3 then to your iPod. Last night I coverted The MC5's Back in the USA, and Wayne Shorter's The All Seeing Eye to mp3 and listened to them in the car today. I'm having a little bit too much fun with this...
