The vinyl revival - So vinyl is becoming popular again. But what about the scratches? The surface noise? The distortion? The rumble? The mistracking? The list of reasons not to listen to vinyl goes on and on. Like a broken record.

Correction: 6:29 I made a verbal typo regarding the rotation speed. A 33.3 rpm record rotates once in 1.8 seconds. DM

Correction: 7:34 The video mentions tracking error where a typical tonearm is correctly aligned at only one point on the record. In fact it is correctly aligned at two points. At all other points on the record there is tracking error in varying amounts. DM
