[dba-Tech] Storage Space

I used to really love my vinyl LPs, but that was when I was used to the 
scratchy sounds that happen and could disregard them.  Now, I am acutely 
aware of the noises because I am spoiled by my CDs.  Darn!  But, I still 
hold onto my precious LPs - can't offer a rational reason, but I don't 
want to let them go.
