If you are implying here that Linn's turntables are still state of the

Isn't state of the art and turntable an oxymoron?

Isn't an oxymoron an idiot with a blowtorch?

That aside, I agree with you. It beggars belief that people are still
subjecting themselves to the nightmare that is LP reproduction---a
nightmare I thankfully awoke from many years ago. It's like those
people who self-mutilate because they secretly hate themselves. Could
that be the case here?

Back in the day, I had an AR turntable and a Dynaco PAS-3X turntable, and
some college-special amplifier, and I was in love with it. Then, after a
ten
year hiatus, I was reintroduced to hifi with the CD. A few years more, and
I
gave records a brief spin.

I could not stand what I heard. Vinyl was awful. What had changed?

Clearly, all tastes are acquired, and forgotten. In Norway and Sweden,
people eat rotten whale blubber snacks. In other countries, it's stake
tartare, or sheep eyeballs.

There is no accounting for taste.



You've got soft pretzels, "at least" here we get.....steamed crabs.
