Record player repair?

<< < (6/6)

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.
