There's a member here, forgot his name, who has as his sigline something like 'everything I do and have done has the sole purpose to get a girlfriend. Everything'.
It is rare you meet someone with so much self-insight! He would make a great psychologist.

Yup. That sig line was hard to miss 🙂
"All of my successes and failures can be explained by my attempts at getting a girlfriend. All of them. "

My record player has lasted 40 years & tens of thousands of plays with no maintenance. BIC940 Shure M97EraIV The records have many fewer skips than the CD's.
No CD DVD player or tape recorder has lasted more than 10 years. I can't even get media for the tape recorders. The PC's (audacity) crater every 8-10 years and new ones aren't compatible with old software. The newest PC doesn't even have a line level input. USB mikes are ****.
As for high quality source material my Sohmer & Steinway pianos are first class and my KSM27 mikes are 2nd class. The Oscar Schmidt Autoharp is authentic. As for market demand for what I play, a different story. My audience is as high as 12 sometimes. Got a nice piece of fan mail from the summer audience two weeks ago.

My question had other orientation. Perhaps poorly raised. What I wanted to mean is, given a vinyl is capable of true hifi (I read in the Langford Smith book "Radiotron") that there were tests done at 70KHz in those era, which is the advantage of record in a disk of such a kind, a poorer MP3 for example, which can't reach 10KHz.
I won't download or listen to MP3. The cassette tape of the 21st century. My hearing rolls off at 14 khz and MP3 sounds weak to me.
Can't say this disc recorder is high fidelity. Vendor makes no such claims. But many LP's were. Wicked Cool records are making superb pop LP's & 45's now. No crackle or pop! Mastering & production by ?? EMI versions of the Beatle albums have much less crackle & pop than the original Capitols, also. Another format I'll buy is CD, but mastering goals vary from "blast out the car in next lane", to occasional real fidelity.

Let's recognize that the humble cassette was born as dictaphone, say, to record human voices, and the use for "hifi" wasn't the original purpose of such device. Under those conditions, it really did a good job, in hands of reporters and journalists.
