- buboard 8y agoi mean, people buy turntables nowadays. new ones, not just vintage and antiques. Audio equipment tends to age veery slowly
- akvadrako 8y agoThat's not how it worked. Turntables became obsolete then they become popular years later because everything about them is inferior.
- buboard 8y agobut also because people have old vinyl disks which they can revive. and people complained about the cold sound of CDs forever. it's not like tech, where you don't really see people crying over their burnt memory chips. Especially for audio connectors, i don't think it is a coincidence that the 3.5mm jacks and its fatter brother have not changed since forever. people wanted to use it with their older stuff.
