It makes me laugh when I see the vinyl record hipster stores - because
half the people buying vinyl probably have a POS toy turntable with a
cheap ceramic cartridge, unbalanced turntable with all the wow and
flutter possible, unbalanced arm and rubbish pre-amp.

I dunno - IME people who can be arsed with vinyl also tend to be arsed
about getting a decent amp/turntable/speakers.

Quite often not, IME. Crosley Cruisers, for example. Many, many
cheap-and-nasty integradted turntables with USB output. You're
forgetting vinyl as a fashion statement here.

Yup, hipster marketing. Ye can also buy records, specially made, as
accessories for the player. Just in case you know someone who wants a
memory trip back to the 50s, but has lost all in the meantime, they have
Sinatra and Elvis.
