Back in the 60s we had an actual cheap-ass record player for 78s, and the 78s were thick - very thick - like more than an eighth of an inch thick. But these kids' "record players" nowadays? Naaah. A mere shadow. No actual appreciation of retro technology required - or wanted.


Are you talking about the toy in the thread or actual turntables?


An actual record player.


So are you suggesting that a 33 RPM LP is not a "real" record? Or that anyone who has a turntable today doesn't appreciate the format? I find both hard to believe.

My turntable is from 2014, I am well aware of the principles on which it operates. That's why I bought it.
