The look certainly is different! I suppose we'll all get used to it.

At any rate, some sad news indeed. My trusty Benz ACE cartridge needs retipping. Stupid me, I didn't see it coming. It has several thousand hours on it and it's in no shape to play anything more for awhile. The word is that it could take as long as 3 months to fix. What will I do with no vinyl to spin? I'm seriously considering buying a cheap backup. Any suggestions? As this one will be called into service only when the ACE is down, I don't want to spend more than $100. Any help would be appreciated.
