Even though I am and have been a proponent of digital I have recently rediscovered vinyl. Even though it is not as convenient vinyl is anything but obsolete. There is just something about it that just sounds so natural. I love both digital and vinyl.
TTs are making a comeback. New tone arms, carts and TTs are being developed for playback. So I can't call this tech obsolete now. If anything it is being reworked and revitalized. And streaming will NEVER measure up to a TT.
The pics also reveal why controlling vibration is so very important in a TT as well. And advancements are being made in this area too.
I find it all pretty amazing to say the very least.
