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 would hope that the younger generation who has only listened to MP3s on ipods or computer audio would be able to hear the difference.
In a cafe setting like this where you play an LP for one of these youngsters, the SQ of the music should be evident. You should tell them to sit back and enjoy it.

And definitely don't bore them with tales about the old days of record cutting. :)

Great way to go, as long as there is some music they're familiar with. If they're 20 some things, it's a tough call.

Check out the TT and cart they're using and bring your back-up vinyl. (clean the pops out of them or you'll really have some splaining to do).
