Vinyl Record Cafe's


The other day I was in the SF Bay Area (Vallejo CA) and walked into a Cafe there called Nathan's and they have a public turntable for people to bring in their own records while sipping coffee or tea.

It was a big hit and everyone loved it.

I got into a discussion with a younger patron who didn't know why it sounded good. What do you tell people who are interested in analog.. why it's better etc?

I am not sure that a noisy cafe is the best place to hear the benefits of vinyl. IMHO, the novelty is the customer's ability to play their own music.

A better method would be to have a blue tooth capable player to allow customers to stream music directly from their smart phone. I for one wouldn't want to bring my prized vinyl to be played on a "cafe" turntable of unknown setup and cartridge condition.
