Why Not Bring Back Analog, Reel to Reel Tape
My neighbor (across the street) was CEO of Ampex ( now retired)...an interesting guy. He worked under General Sarnoff at RCA in his youth, etc. If anyone has a question, I'll pose it to him.

Advantages of upgrade from VPI 16.5 RCM
I steam clean for dirty records, and wipe with a slightly dampened microfibre cloth for those in-between plays. This serves me well.
