Why purchase gramophone wind up

[Lucius1958]

To answer your question simply, there is NO reason to purchase a gramophone, or play 78rpm records or engage in any other unnecessary activities. You list five different personal interests in your profile that are important to you, none of which are necessary for a functional life.

In that same way, collecting records/gramophones are a useless endeavor - the technology is extremely outdated, you can listen to the same music on your computer or phone (no records needed), the era these we're made for and the original listeners are long gone, they don't have stable intrinsic value and you can't take them with you when you die... The point is, this is only an "interest" that serves as a distraction - it's certainly less harmful than other addictions.

Just my opinion...

Jeez Curt, you make me want to stop my car half way across the bridge...

Emma I don''t think you sounded rude at all. Curt was just reiterating some things.

Truly there is no reason to buy a gramophone over a normal modern record player. They both do the same thing and honestly a modern record player does it better.

While there are no technical advantages, the old machines do often look more appealing and pleasant (my original argument I used against my mom! )
