Records are a rare case where the technology still holds up today, if done right. (for sound quality, not convenience)
Most of the time you experience old tech from your past and realize how bad it sucks, for example.... cassettes.
I still have a bunch of cassettes and I did have one last double cassette deck in my house that I could use to listen to them. They truly sounded like shit. It finally died last week and I threw it in the trash.
Good riddance to horrible technology. Now I have this rack of old cassettes that are sitting there with nothing capable of playing them, and I highly doubt I'll be purchasing another cassette deck (if they even still make them).
However some high end audio companies still make record players and they can cost thousands of dollars. But I've never seen a high end cassette deck before.
