Great!

I’ll look really cool playing my LP’s, while riding the subway.

Apparently he’s just discovered the RIAA curve... about 60 years after the fact.

All your music sounds like Schitt.

I would have to say that the manufacturer’s name is about as good an argument as you’ll find for why engineers/inventors should not do their own marketing.

So anyone hoping high-resolution formats will totally knock out LPs is dreaming; with a great turntable analog is fully competitive and possibly better than high-resolution digital.

That's nice - fully competitive. If the LPs are maintained perfectly, free of any surface flaws or dust. I remember how carefully my dad used to slide his best LPs out of their rice paper sleeves, with his fingertips only making contact with the center label while the palm of his hand braced the edge of the heavy yet oh-so delicate 180g or 200g vinyl. This after careful adjustment and verification of the turntable speed, alignment of the arm and cartridge, adjustment of the needle tracking angle, replacement of the needle before it was needed to make sure no microscopic damage could be done to any groove.

And then, inevitably, a barely detectable click-click-click during a quiet passage in the music of a newly purchased LP. I'll stick with my FLAC rips of my old CD collection and a USB DAC. Excellent, clean sound every time without having to obsess over the care and feeding of vinyl substrate.

Nothing will ever match the sound of vinyl.

The cut in/cut out of CDs is jarring... I’ve mostly gotten used to it (since music on vinyl is almost unavailable), but it is not the fade in/fade out of vinyl. And music served in digital slices loses something. Your ears aren’t digital; music should not be digital either.

I just plug a $13.00 Scosche FM transmitter into my receiver’s headphone jack and transmit the playing record anywhere within 75 feet.Works great!

Thanks to this little gizmo, LPs sound better than CDs or FLAC files (phonograph pre-amp)

...

Bull. Audiophiles are nuts when it comes to music.
