I can see a turntable/vinyl amenity being very cool, especially, as the article mentioned, for a younger clientele who have never used one. Me? I don't miss cleaning and flipping albums over at all. I grew up doing it, so the novelty factor isn't there for me. As for stealing equipment and records, I'm sure the hotel would simply add the cost to the guest's credit card.

What Frigilux said There's a certain nostalgia factor with turntables, and I appreciate that. But I don't miss how fragile vinyl is, or how little (by modern standards) recording time there is on a side. And I especially don't miss the surface noise. | ||

This indeed a cool idea. But I also remember how carefully vinyl has to be handled... and I still have a full collection, 50/50 classical/rock-pop-jazz. The good old vinyl has that ephemeral thing called "presence" that a CD or MP3 can't quite achieve.
I am also reminded of going to the main library in SF in my youth to listen to records from their collection on old hard heavy uncomfortable headphones. Good times. | ||
