Electron microscope slow-motion video of vinyl LP

Chayro: One can tell by looking at this maker's hands, they are experienced.

I agree. The other item from the video that got my attention for my upcoming project was the carbon glue.

.it's really amazing how long our stylus' last after seeing the torture they endure!

This thread is an amalgam of the different levels out there in order to get to analog nirvana:

(1) basic visual and mechanical instruction
(2) the majority of serious analog listeners and their understanding of the importance of controlling/eliminating resonances/vibrations.
(3) the well-healed that can say through their own experience what really works through their own experience

To the later: I only hope that one day, I'll be able to experience this.
