My favourite film is "The Producers" from 1967. Nostalgia? No, it's just an awesome film.

I watched it for the first time a few months back on a friend's recommendation. Hilarious!

A good record player and a good record will have very little noise or resonance, and the detail is astounding - especially when compared to a CD. Admittedly you need a really good set-up, but it's quite possible (my Linn set-up being an example!)

Absolutely. Dark Side of the Moon tends to be one of my 'refefence' albums to see the level of detail in the overdubbed voices. I have a nice Rogers A100 Amp, but my turntable is in need of a new stylus (currently unusable).
It's no Linn, but a custom 'Connoisseur' kit from the 70s which is belt-driven by a 16-pole 240 AC motor with a simple gearing to 33 1/3 and 45 at 50Hz - beautfully smoothed by the high rotational inertia of the (quite heavy cast gunmetal) platter and gives no discernable wow/flutter.
Simple & elegant technology based on understandable physical quantities & geometry, a syunthesis of electrical and mechanical engineering.
(Lots of shiny brass grub-screw fittings & gimble for the tonearm too. :-) )
