Seriously though. I wonder what you would get if modern manufactures with modern design and materials produced a gramophone or victrola. Low mass materials (or high mass, I dunno) and fancy acoustics could get you more volume, a fancy stylus more clarity. Whether you want an electric motor is up to you, but I'm sure something interesting could be done with the actual transduction, still all mechinical. It would be a hell of a way to get people into the booth at a show anyway.
Completely passive audio system...
My system is totally free from EMI/RFI, crosstalk, hum, buzz, etc. Turntable (without cartridge wires connected) -> passive phono stage -> passive preamp -> passive amplifier -> speakers.
MAN!!! This system can do NO wrong! Talk about a LOW noise floor! No distortion! This system really gets out of the way and lets the speakers do what they do best --- NOTHING.
I only use all Siltech Compass Lake wires, of course...
