you are all crazy. What's the big deal??? Anyone can learn in 30 seconds to handle the needle. It must be a pain to be around you...

LOL! I am with you @parkergetdean. My grandmother's pride and joy was a very valuable, even back in the day, stand-up, wind-up Victrola. It is now in a museum. Anyway, when I was so little I had to stand on a chair to reach inside to put on a record. She taught me how. I had full access. She had a large collection of hot jazz. All 78 shellac of course. It's where I got my start. Now it is my grand kids. Yes they can, and do. A great joy to me is to be a fly on the wall while my son sits with them playing an old favorite from his childhood...Louis Armstrong. I like to think my grandmother is looking down on this scene and tapping her foot with a smile. It is not too late gentlemen. Think about it. |
It's not always so cut and dry as you seem to think. I have a Clearaudio Master Innovation with three tonearms and very expensive cartridges. It's easy enough to bang into one of them if you don't pay attention and aren't careful enough. It's not for novices to handle, and who wants to answer to a broken cantilever on a very expensive cartridge? |
