“You must have been reading some turntable threads. For some reason it is impossible to play a record. Frankly it is impossible even to have a record to play. First it must be cleaned, a process that all by itself consumes more time and resources than exist anywhere, ever. But then even if you skip this step you still can’t play it. For that you need a turntable, for which you need a place to put the turntable, and there simply are no suitable places to put a turntable! Probably you will have to build a whole house- on concrete embedded in bedrock, possibly, or floating in orbit in outer space- and even then it must be in another room from you and the speakers.....
But then even if you skip all that there is still the problem of 175 different alignments and jigs, and probably the arm isn’t even compatible with the cartridge, or the table- or both!
Eventually after all that it will turn out the record you want to play is the wrong one. If it isn’t a crappy reissue then its a crappy remaster or an even crappier beat up old copy - that you can’t afford anyway because the worst records command the highest prices! And why would you want to play it anyway? That is only going to wear it out. All you will hear anyway is pivoted arm mistracking. Unless of course its a linear tracker in which case you hear the air compressor.
That’s what makes it all so much fun. Nothing better than doing the impossible!”
millercarbon, I hate to be the one to point out, OP is likely referring to your contentious posts on the subject of home theater and digital. And your post here is no exception. Your typical word salad, time and again reflecting your biased views on how much fun spinning a record can be despite of its glaring tedious rituals. Once again, you have polluted another thread with your usual gibberish instead of understanding and respecting OP’s point of view for the entertainment value derived from movies and music alike.
Unlike your kind, many here embraced 2-ch music of every format instead of waging wars on analog superiority over digital and everything else.
