    there's this world-class virtuoso, whose hobby-cum-sideline is... sound systems! vinyl discs, traditional electronics, speakers, turntables!

    aficionadoes say that the physical vibration of the stylus needle, is the nearest we can come to duplicating the original sound of the recording.

    don't ask me. i'm just lip-synching them.

    Not an expert as well, but if you search the web, a lot of people appears to have dispelled that theory. For one, that analog-to-analog idea may have been true for older records from the 70's and earlier, but the more modern records were likely reproduced from digital masters.
