What did you do this week (and weekend)?
As part of a weekly series, these topics are a place for users to casually discuss the things they did — or didn't do — during their week. Did you accomplish any goals? Suffer a failure? Do nothing at all? Tell us about it!
I bought hearing aids. My son bought a piano. I had lunch with my other son. My wife worked with our grandchildren on their studies.
A while back, I bought a vinyl album set on an impulse (Bo Burnham's Inside: Deluxe Edition, for those who care). After that, it turns out that a lot of older people I know have a lot of records that they don't listen to anymore, so I took in a lot, despite not having a record player.
Recently, I got a turntable, as well as some other stuff including wired headphones since I left my old set back in Europe. I set up the turntable, started hooking everything up, and realized that this particular model doesn't have a headphone jack. Now I'm slightly annoyed that I have to go shopping for either speakers or a headphone amp.
In the meantime, this turntable has a USB out port, so I'm using that to listen to things it plays using a Framework laptop's subpar speakers. Kind of ruins the whole point of a hi-fi system, but if it works, it works.
