Just...why? I get the analog music fetish as records have a distinct sound, but why bother with a portable record player as record themselves are exactly the opposit of "portable"?

This is the kind of thing I could use in my home office, there's not enough space for a permanent deck but I could make space temporarily and then put it away afterwards, would be perfect.

The other used case I've seen from people, though rare, is to take records hunting to ensure what they're buying is good quality. I'd question their success in getting sellers to deal with them faffing about like that though.
