First, Happy New Year!

This morning i treated myself for New Year with Metaphor ReFantazio and No Man's Sky.

So I got a brand-new Audio Technica LP70 for Christmas! However, since the LP70 is an actual record player rather than an All-in-one, that meant getting new speakers for it.

After consulting with a musician buddy of mine, I landed on getting a pair of Edifier R1280T speakers.

They looked to be a solid overall balance between cost ($100), simplicity and sound quality for small desktop speakers, and said buddy who makes music recommended them. I've played a couple records through them, and while I don't really have a major reference point, they sound great and I'm definitely happy with them.

To that end, Good Bye, Victrola. You served me shockingly well for an all-in-one player (at least until you lost the ability to properly play vinyls), and soldiered well beyond the usual expiration date for players of your kind. Legit the best Christmas gift I've ever gotten up until now.

I've also been finding a bunch of records that I legit forgot I bought, so that's also been fun to re-discover. :dopey:

My daughter wanted company for our male Betta who looked bored. There was also not enough foliage for him to hide in.

So I replanted the tank from scratch and we picked him up a girlfriend. Hopefully he won’t murder her.
