I was just wondering if ANY of the old "Urban Legend" story of digitally recorded LPs destroying TT bearings has still survived.
I remember the bruhahah about it in some of the magazines and certain folks doing microscopic examination of bearings "before" and "after" playing a digitally recorded LP and declairing that the bearings were being damaged by the playing of these digitally recorded LPs.
I just was thinking about this and wondered if anyone remembers this, and still is cautious? Or if it has been debunked?
