Right. I wish more would realize this. Not as much for their own sake. Anyone wants to spend more money on protractors than stuff that actually makes music, and more time obsessing and fussing over microns when the dang thing ain't within millimeters most of the time anyway, that's all fine with me. To each their own.
But unfortunately new people come along and see this and conclude playing records means having to do all this crap. Happens all the time. Then they either sit there looking at the ten grand rig waiting to pay some dude to come set it up, or decide its just not worth the hassle. Which is a shame. Because its not a hassle. Its easy. But who is gonna believe that when the guys who want to make everything just as hard as it can possibly be are sucking up all the oxygen in the room?
