Antique behavior for the day

Rico says that The Art of Manliness does seem to go off the rails periodically, but the latestA Beginner’s Guide to Buying Your First Turntable, is definitely odd... When was the last time you owned a record, much less played one? (And the photo alone dates the equipment...) But here it is anyway:

Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Cameron Schaefer.
So, you’ve decided to get into vinyl. Perhaps the story I shared last month about my own journey into record collecting piqued your interest. Maybe you inherited a great collection from a family member or got inspired by the collection of a friend. No matter what your path was to get here, the first hurdle most people must clear is that of buying a turntable. As with any electronic equipment, the options are endless, price range vast, and feature sets diverse. With no past experience the process can be a little intimidating, but fear not. I was in the position of clueless beginner a short time ago and can report back that once you learn a little lingo and make a few decisions regarding your needs and desires, there are a lot of really great turntables out there just waiting to find a cherished place in your home.
Note: This guide is not for those wanting to DJ, scratch, etc. While some of the turntables covered below would work for that sort of thing, it’s a completely different area of expertise. What we’re focusing on is beginner audiophile turntables. “Audiophile” is a fancy way of saying people who are interested in producing the highest quality sound.
Rico says that, if you care, you can read the rest (and there's a lot) here...
