But does it still give you the extra treat of seeing the little spool of vinyl curl up behind the stylus as it gouges its way across your records?

For me it brings back listening to music as a thing you are doing instead of a thing thats on in the background

I’m here for this comment. These machines will do hard work forever if you treat them right. I have an intel core duo that I’ve used to record music for the last 12 years. I type this from my perfectly functional iPhone XS

Please god no this is a record killer

Those people do. It's the people that make lossless recordings of vinyl "because vinyl has the highest fidelity" that I'm referencing.

Mmmmhhhhh a Sound Burger, it’s delicious!

It’s literally just a gadget. A thing you buy because you think it’s cool and put away after a weekend. There’s plenty of second hand record players looking for a new home. Do we really need more trash? 🌍

Another Scottish invention bites the dust

🧐 I see what you did there.

They’re both groovy. Besides, technology is cyclical.

They understand. Why else do you think tube amps are a thing? Hint: it’s the saturation.

I also enjoy Techmoan. :)

The “Sound-wich” would have been a better name

>easy access to a turntable at the time.

Like, at the time or purchase before they get home? Or to test out something they found at a garage sale, etc.?

I certainly can see potential uses; I'm just wondering what you had in mind.

that existed in the iMac before the 5k, but was dropped since hdmi at the time didnt have enough bandwidth to support it. unfortunately it was never added again when HDMI catched up

This new one, not the original, that was kinda my whole point 😁

You could mount that thing on a wall or possibly vertically, Add a disco ball finish or just bedazzled it

I almost want to bet that it's either going to be a cheap p.o.s. that damages your records, or it's going to be outrageously expensive.

Yes. But my point is that most audio is mixed digitally these days so analog is actually a deviation from the “intended” sound

To be fair in my experience in enterprise IT support Apple computers last a lot longer then most windows machines

I wish more "audiophiles" understood this.

Came here say this.

I just checked out the list and am surprised that the First few gens of Apple TV are also obsolete. A device that streams video content over HDMI has no reason to be obsolete. The original Chromecast from 2013 still run the latest software and can do all the features that the newer Chromecast with Google TV does.

That’s about what 8 intel generations of CPU and about 4 to 5 generations of chipset/motherboard ago?

Dammit you beat me to it.
