Hello Moktan,
Must say, a beautiful place you live in, a wonderful source of music.
Cheers...

When you have heavenly music so close to nature then you don't need external stimulants like alcohol etc..

That's great Sir. I am quite sure you will enjoy your analogue acquisition.

since some respected forum members happen to be nature lovers i am sharing with them some azaleas and lilies from my garden.
just as my music system cannot capture the true essence of sound, my photography too doesn't do justice to the spring...

Beautiful place that you live in Moktan. Been a city dweller most of my live, and I can only imagine the amount of peace and tranquility that such a place offers you, not to mention the pure air, and the cool climate.

Congratulations Moktan. Great house. Great view. Great surroundings. We guys in cities can only dream about such homes.

A friend who works for Fedex is being sent to Europe to handle some possible contingency operation due to some likely trade-union strikes in some locations.
Though his itinerary is not fixed it is definite that he will be in Brussels...
He has agreed to bring some records if I could provide him the whereabouts of used vinyl stores.
perhaps members who have some experience buying such would kindly help?
Thanks in advance

In germany and in france there are Flea markets where one does run into Old records. but if you check any Fnac store, which i believe exist in Belgium as well, there are bound to be new ones available...lots of choices among Jazz/Rock/Classical

If he were going to NewJersey there is a Huge used record store at very reasonable prices ..99c to 400 USD

One very good place is the flea market in Geneva. On Saturdays, one can find a treasure of vinyls being sold. It is my favorite haunt when I go for my experimental work. If you friend happens to be there on Saturday, ask him to visit the place. The ideal time is to go in the afternoon as then one can get things at throw-away prices.

Dear Moktan,

I am really happy you managed to get everything right in the end. I would not have recognized the TT which was with me for so long. You have given it a wonderful face lift. Just enjoy the music. i am happy I played a small part in converting one more to Vinyl gang!

There is a Vinyl record shop (can't remember the name) near the 'Grand Place' in Brussels central area. It is within walking distance from the 'Grand Place' - the shop has a very good collection of LPs - both new and old. New ones cost around 15-25 Euros depending upon the pressing, and old ones between 1-5 Euros depending upon the condition of the record. I had picked up a few records from this place during my stay in Brussels last year.

BTW, also ask your friend to pick up some Belgian chocolates - Neuhaus, Leonidas and Galler are my favourite picks! Never had better chocolate in my life.

Best,
APK

Lovely turntable and location sir. I hope the fedex option works out.

Thanks all for your suggestions. All of it has proved really useful. I will keep everyone posted on what my friend will manage to bring for me.
