CSI Episode # 105 (Production #105) "Friends And Lovers" TEASER ... - 4:47pm
He's the spinner in Vegas right now. Must've been playing the rave these two were at. GRISSOM (beat) Is there any way for us to track this DJ person? ...

So what's a spinner? Googling evokes several possibilities: A DJ. Someonewho wins consistently. Someonewho spins the roulette wheel. A chip with convex surface

I would guess it's some one who "spins" records. in this case a DJ, these days with cds.

these days with cds

Many artists still release material on vinyl (as well as on audio-CD). It's retro and cool. So, DJs still have many vinyl records to choose from, spin, and digitize. But they also spin CDs.

Mav: Yes, as you can see
Thanks all

PS: Can anyone confirm the currency of the other defs without performing a major Googling

And, many audiophiles believe, of higher audio quality.

"Warmer" is the term I hear most often from my high-end audiophile chums ... the ones who spend as much on stereo equipment as normal humans spend on a car.
