I remember wondering what audiophiles were up to, buying extremely expensive home audio systems to play old vinyl records. They put turntables in sand-filled enclosures with elaborate cabling schemes.

Even if I had a turntable it's completely unplayable, because the cover it came in is made of sandpaper, which scratched the record inside to bits.

But it was the same 12in circle of vinyl going round on the turntable, and listening to it involved sitting on the same sofa.
