If it comes down to "the fashion item to have" then turntables are
a much stronger contender.

Really? I *very* much doubt that turntables will ever be a "fashion item"
again.

USB turntables seem to be quite a "hot" line.

A whole generation has missed out
on vinyl, which, for many, holds a deep fascination.

Clearly it does for you.

Not really. I was there the first time round, and not just as a
consumer:-) I know just how hard it is to master a disc as
opposed to a CD, and the problems involved in making a
recording with delays, and DT that can be cut to disk
without problems.

I'm also fascinated by obsolete audio technolgy, particularly those used
with pictures, such as the 4-track magnetic striped system used with 35mm
film from 1953 to the late 1970s. Far more fascinating than mere vinyl,
IMO
:-).

Yes you are right. But your 35mm mag stripe material is not
available to most people, as are LPs are from the charity
shop, and a 35mm MWA( Albrecht) recorder/reproducer
is pretty hard to find too:-)
