I buy most of my CD's at Dollarama stores...it's a Canadian, possibly
Ontarian.chain of $1 stores which seems to stock a lot of "remaindered"
discs for a buck apiece...I've found a LOT of reissue discs...especially
"Hindsight!"

Trouble is, to have CD's of music I REALLY like,I will have to get
an old "record player" with the 78 speed...the ceramic cartridges
output "line level" (1 volt +/-) signals, so I can feed the cartridge
output into any "Line In" jack...!
