My 1979 turntable was the third one I bought. The first was a $100 mistake. This article is what I wish someone had told me before I started.

Someone paid $45,000 for a turntable. That person is not your benchmark.

As a playlist curator, I still see listeners respond to that feeling every day.
Some sounds don’t disappear — they wait to be rediscovered.

Bekim! — We Belong Together
