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.

Couldnt agree more.
They get vinyls to be cool, and buy the new vinyl, even though they sound absolutely worst then the digital version.
Buying vinyl now its totally useless and not audiophile. Everything is made into a computer and to be able to press a album into vinyl, you have to make it go thrue yet another DAC. Whats the point.
I only buy Jazz and classical vinyl from the time where everything were recorded on tapes.
Worst, audiophile now are seen like all ridiculous fools chasing a ghost and dumb and naive enough to believe that a dac can be worth more then 200$.
Im on a good bunch of music forum, and they just dont care, most of them, about sound quality. Those who do mostly get ``studio`` monitors and think they have the best sound possible.
You can read such stupid article on how digital audio all sound the same, and they take that as a reference and think that the soundcard is good enough and all there is to audio.
That is so true!
