We all know those laser beams that are no wider than their wavelength are wider than grooves on a record. I do have a stylus recommendation though from when one of my friends had a gramophone. When he was low on the styluses he'd just cut the end off of a nail and use that instead. The only thing I noticed is that the nails were better quality (I'm not joking).

That's because it's cheaper and easier to spend $1000 on magic pebbles to maximise the chi of the soundstage.

Oh god I'm some sort of hipster. This is a terrifying discovery. I often play music through my DVD player using pro logic II to get 5.1. On the opposite side of lounge I have two ipads and a computer connected to a 1980s video mixer which outputs to a 200W guitar amp. That even excludes the times I spent at large outdoor dance parties where we'd be listening to a gramophone where we were camping.

I like how he was unable to see the connection between his behaviour and why she left.

I believe you mean quadraphonic acoustic test vinyl. Audiophiles don't listen to music.
