I’m an engineer. I can appreciate the skill, talent, and commitment involved in mass-producing any complex object. All the people and equipment involved in this process are fascinating. But at the same time, as an engineer, I cannot abide inefficiency. So this whole endeavor, requiring such exacting precision, all to produce an object whose audio reproduction (if it isn’t ruined by a speck of dust or the needle itself) is still inferior to the digital alternatives, confounds me.
