For music lovers, owning one of the best turntables is the height of success. You know the meme "If I win the lottery, I won't tell anyone, but there will be signs..."? That's me with my record collection. Slowly but surely, I'm buying every album I've ever loved.
There's something so special about records (and other physical media, like CDs). Not only do you get to hold your music, but you also get access to a whole world of Easter-eggy tidbits you wouldn't previously have known about. For example, 'Origin of Symmetry' by Muse is one of my favorite albums — did I know the famous pipe organ was recorded at a church literally ten minutes from my apartment? Not until I bought the vinyl and read the insert! As I'm writing this, Record Store Day 2026 is just two days away... and of course, I'm going to buy way too much.
