...Still running on my original 70s copy.
I lose count of the times I have been told by "those who know" that vinyl eventually wears out from normal playing.
Meanwhile, decades and thousands of LPs (that's what I call them) later, I have yet to wear out a single album.
In fact, I'd go on record for saying that played with care and optimal equipment, the actual playing of LPs makes them sound better and better!
Ahem! LPs sound best when you play them.... (Who knew? )
