General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

. . . until the next shiny fad comes along

Most of the kids doing the turntable thing now are doing it as a fashion trend, rather than from any appreciation (or even concept) of superior sound quality.

How much quality can you get out of a cheap entry-level TT with a terrible groove-chewing cartridge, anyway? Especially one with a built-in AD converter and a USB output? So you can dumb your expensive 180g virgin vinyl records down to MP3s and listen to them on your i-phone, through mud-thumpy fashion statement headphones?

Ain't gonna last. These kids are not budding audiophiles, just trend followers soon to be distracted by the next flashy trend.
