It really is amazing. I recall when Records and Turntables died out. It must have been some point in the mid 80s. I was a huge fan of records. The sound was great, hated the cracks and pops. CDs took over not long after, and no one looked back. BUT today, you can find all kinds of new modern turntables. A revival so to speak, is at hand. I have not seen so many turntables available to a consumer. Some are just simply stunning. Consider something like this Orbit Plus Uturn. Snazzy!
