You can explain that wow and flutter is a good 1000x what it is on
computerised systems, and with one of those strobe speed cards watch
the lines go backwards and forwards as the speed goes up and down each
revolution. And watch the pickup geometry as it progressively twists
relative to the grooves. And explain why it howls when you turn the
volume up, and where all the snap crackle and pop comes from. And if
her IQ is in single figures, why no-one uses them any more. Yes you can
make top quality decks, but not at sensible prices.

And in any case, a £50 quid CD player these days out outperforms a £1000
turntable.
