A highly opinionated article, to say the least:
"Listening to records is the penultimate middle finger to the digital age; one where human beings text family and friends in the same room rather than talk to them, and where people flip through music selections on their smartphones with the same level of attention that they display when selecting a brand of cereal at the grocery store. Listening to music on a turntable requires paying attention to the process of playback, and the music itself; something that is seemingly quite difficult for most people these days."
Provocative comments aside, the rest is about the ever-pricier resto biz:

(Full disclosure: my TT happens to be a restored vintage one, but not one of the brands mentioned in this article)
