Stopped into Rice Village Half Priced Books and did a Lookey Loo in the vinyl section, and had to laugh as they had several cheapo turntables that were flower power embossed and junk BUT had USB outputs...
Was a "Recorded in MONO" Disc 1 and "Recorded in Stereo" Disc 2 offering of an early Beach Boys or Beatles LP set which I passed on...about as silly as a $500 disc cleaner for a $10 LP IMO
Previous post of "Snap/Crackle/Pops" of "Rice Crispies" like vinyl reminded me of '80's paper thin pressings that often contained impurities such as paper which could be seen with the naked eye pressed into the grooves!
