What about the category - I used to own one many years ago - and got rid of it (and my 1500 lps) with the advent of digital music (CDs at the time). It is such a joy to listen to music without snap crackle and pop and with full, uncompressed dynamic-range. (I remember, at the time, listening to Shostakovich Symphony No 5 - third movement - and did not have to artificially boost the volume to hear the detail - a veil had been lifted - to quote the advertising hype of the time.)
I was amused, that when I was buying my latest hi fi setup (which included the Devialet), the young sales guys were pushing turntables. I told them that I got over turntables in 1983 - Before they were born!
The time I used to spend on caring for and cleaning my lps, and cleaning and adjusting styluses, I now spend on listening to the music
