Digital audio technology has been powerless in front of such "dinosaurs" as turntable record players, who always find a place in the collections of music connoisseurs.

How the vinyl player works
Modern laser players of vinyl records and USB-players still consist of nodes created more than 30 years ago.

A modern device works, as well as vinyl record players of the times of the USSR, thanks to the simple laws of physics. The needle moves along the track on the surface of the plate, oscillates according to its vertical and horizontal profile, which leads to the transformation of mechanical oscillations into an electrical signal fed to the amplifier and reproduced by audio speakers. In Hi-Fi players there is no built-in amplifier, so it is required to an AV amplifier or AV receiver.
If in the past for the production of a table and flywheel aluminum alloys were used, today they were replaced by complex compounds of vinyl, acrylic and CFRP. These materials enhance the vibro-acoustic properties of the player.

Models with a roller system and direct drive for a high-end device are unacceptable, since they create a high level of vibration and electromagnetic field. Before choosing a vinyl player, pay attention to the location of the engine. It is better to choose models in which it is taken out of the frame.
