This will change your vinyl listening...so it's almost as good as CD Quality.
Only $999 USD
Ortofon 2M Black LVB 250[^]
What is it, you ask?
A high quality needle for your turntable. π€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ
Who is buying that? Go ahead and spring for the CDs.
Edit
I just read a couple of the features:
** Features a Nude Shibata diamond on a Boron cantilever
** Multi Wall Carbon Nano Tubes (MWCNT) rubber suspension provides superior damping
Superior!!

As a teenager and college kid I had vinyl and a decent B&O turntable. Then CDs came out and it was a game changer. Music was clearer and fuller plus the media (while certainly not indestructible) was more robust. Now most folks (myself included) are streaming music. CD quality (or better) and no media.
I don't understand this fad of going back to vinyl. I call BS on folks who claim the sound is better than digital. They're fooling themselves...

Are you trying to tell me that the scientific engineering of the Nude Shibata diamond on a Boron cantilever may just all be bunk?
I can't imagine.

Well... I am a HUGE fan of carbon nano tubes...

But you need a pair of matched tuned platinum-plated cables or it's all for naught.
And don't forget the power conditioner.

My ears are shot from Navy Service and playing in a Rock and Roll band, for 46 years or so.
The whole "quality of the sound" issue just passes me by.
I now listen to books on CD, mostly "Disc World" novels, when I am driving.
My problem is that the car manufacturers are no longer putting CD players in cars. My current car has a CD player, and I intend to hold on to it until it dies.

And here I am listening to MP3 files I ripped from vinyl with an ordinary stylus on the turntable I bought in the 80s (Technics)...
Unsure when I last bought a new stylus for it, but it must have been the 90s, it cost $50 USD at the time as I recall.

But your missing out on MWCNT (Multi Wall Carbon Nano Tubes)
You obviously don't have a very discerning ear.
Now send me your $999!!!

Absolutely correct.
It looks like I can get a whole new Technics turntable for that money. Hmmm... maybe no stylus included...

And these are a mere second place on the list of most expensive headsets. If you want to go to the top be ready to fork a dash over 130000$

I always wanted a real turntable when I was a kid/teenager; I had a cheap one that played well enough.
I was looking at the Rega Planar 3 turntables.
It was something only my friend rich parent could afford.
I sold all (except a few) my records when CDs came out.
I never really looked back, but heck the Rega planar looks fine.
(obviously, I thought I could be a DJ and looked at the technics 1200 turntables a few time)

Does it fix all the scratches on the vinyl media?
- I would love to change the world, but they wonβt give me the source code.

When I was a boy (read: long, long ago), our neighbor shipped a small pile of old records to a US company who read the tracks photographically, in stray light, so the groove was in deep shadow, with the groove top making a sharp edge with the illuminated top surface. The pickup rests somewhat down in the groove, wearing the sides, but doesn't touch that sharp edge.
Reading the sharp, unworn edge, and transferring its waves to a magnetic tape was close to directly reading the master tape. Our neighbor told that the tape he received made him aware of instruments he never knew was in the orchestra when listening to the record ...
This was in the 1970s, so it must have been done with analog technology. I recently made some back-of-envelope estimates of what it would take to do this with a digital camera and digital logic. I was shocked by the technical requirements. It certainly can be done, but probably not in your hobby workshop in your basement, if you get my drift ...
If you make such a setup, handling scratches and dust is a trivial matter. Wear doesn't matter at all. Frequency is no problem - waves are really flat. The big issue is to read the amplitude with high precision, for obtaining a good S/N ratio. I really wish that I had the resources to set up a system that could do this with, say, an 8k pixel image sensor across the track width, 13 bits of resolution, or 12 bits for each edge in a stereo track. (HiFi freaks frown at 12 bits resolution, but anything beyond that requires very expensive sensors.)
I suspect that my neighbor's records may have been 78s, i.e. widely spaced mono tracks of below-HiFi frequency range. But then: This was fifty years ago. Today we should be able to handle both 'microgroove' records and stereo sound.
