ASMR Turntable (pointing, mechanical sounds, soft spoken)

With the decline of the need for physical media for things like music, so too declines the need for mechanical contraptions to play that media. I grew up in the era of vinyl, which means I also grew up in the era of turntables.

From the huge wooden console stereo, to the cheap consumer all-in-one, to finally the professional direct drive turntable in this video - my music journey included all of these devices. This video is all about the last stop on my turntable journey, the Technics direct drive turntable that I first used at my college radio station, and that still plays records (occasionally) in my living room today.

This video is a bit random and rambly, and is a love letter of sorts to my radio days, to my formative music-listening years, and to all those years when we listened to music as much with our hands as with our ears.

RIP Walter Becker (1950-2017)
