Personal Consumer Issues • What’s the deal with turntables?

Now that is just hillarious. Do they like the cyclical click of the mechanism that rotates the spool of tape more than the annoying hiss of the tape? Perhaps I can finally unload the tape deck that I have not used in 30 years.

I grew up on tapes and can see the appeal of them in the abstract. They're more portable and durable than vinyl. They're fun to handle - they slot satisfyingly into their cases or the player and everything is clicky and snappy to interact with. If you like literally holding vinyls, there's a satisfaction to this as well.

Like a vintage car, its slow and fragile but you imagine why people like interacting with them.
