That was great. Definately a thumbs up for the "this is why vinyl is better than digital" comment - real physical formats means physical manipulation too, like tape (allowing pretty much all of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop's classic material).
Liked the trailing a cart on it's lead idea - gets rid of all tonearm resonances at the expense of accurate cartridge allignment. There are always compromises in audio...
