Is this growing up?

I still like to listen to records. For years, I have had a British Belt Drive Turntable--a Linn Sondek LP12. When it worked, it sounded great, but it was extremely fussy, and repairs for it were astronomically expensive.

I now have a Technics 1200Mk2. I will stipulate that it does not sound as good as a Linn, but it sounds quite good to my aging ears--and it works all the time. So instead of spending time tweaking my turntable, I am spending time with family and friends--and actually listening to music.
