Record player repair?
DaveMMR:
It isn't so much the player as it is the needle (although cheaper turntables do tend to have little problems like incorrect pitch). And I suspect that a lot of the noise people hear when they spin a record can be eliminated by simply giving the record a wipe with a lint-free cloth and cleaning the needle. But yes, the "wear and tear" is one of vinyl's downfall.
ChadTower:
I suspect that few people would say "vinyl is rubbish". I bet it's more that most people nowadays have never had a vinyl setup and just don't see it as being worth the effort, especially sourcing albums, to keep vinyl around. Not when the instant gratification download-drag-listen to every album ever made on a device the size of your thumb is so easy.
cowguy:
I guess I'm one of the few younger people who think vinyl is better sounding than mp3.
