Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE.

I first dropped a needle on "Peter and the Wolf" at the age of six on my father's Rec-O- Kut turntable, with a Sherwood mono amp and 15" Altec Lansing speaker. I remember it clearly- the rich, sonorous voice emanating from the system. That was 60 years ago. If you can't hear, feel, or experience the OBVIOUS superiority of vinyl over digital, it's your deficiency- not vinyl's.

My own theory about the vinyl experience is that the physical vibrations mined by a stylus mimics the aural mechanism of the ear, so that there is a subtle resonance at play between the two systems. The ear's bones and tympanic membrane operate very much like a cartridge. In defense of Guttenberg, he goes on to say how much vinyl means to him, but if someone discouraged me from "getting into vinyl" for practical reasons, I would ignore that. I suspect that Guttenberg sees the writing on the wall of youngsters abandoning him, so he may just be pandering to an audience still wet around the ears.
