you will hear lots of noise since most of them have no idea how to set up a turntable or have any idea how to care for LPs.
In addition most of what I have heard and seen are used tables with worn out cartridges. No consideration of replacing the stylus. Needless to say no moving coils in this crowd.
You will be listening to some of the worst music reproduction you have ever heard and the young one will remark how it sounds just like the performer is in the room.
The irony is they would get better sound from CD for a similar outlay of money but the power of fashion is irresistible to these folk.
Most of the records will be used and very used at that. If they buy something new I cringe at the thought of the damage being done but I guess we should be glad they are fueling the market. But that is why they always mention the pops and clicks because, as you know, the newsreader has never heard a good LP player and what they have heard has half record noise and half what was embossed by the press.
