But locked grooves
And if you have an "auto flip" there is no ritual. Actually it just has two needles and plays exactly like a CD right down to programming track orders. Its only about $250

the one thing I hate about LPs is the final song on each side. it suffers from awful distortion

Are you sure it's not your player? Ive never noticed this or heard of it.
>>71420045
its a well known defect with the way the needle pushes against the groove. apparently linear tracking vs angle tracking fixes it. if you dont believe me, record the last minute of any final track on that side, and compare the quality to the first minute of the first track on that side.

It's probably the records you're buying if they all sound like that
I have records where the last song on each sounds like the rest of the songs, but also a few shitty ones where they get unlistenable at the last song on each side

>wasting money on a large vinyl collection when you could be building a large literature collection like an actual patrician
>>71420096
happens to new records I buy too. without an linear tracking tt, it's just the nature of the player
what if i'm autistic so the ritual really does make it better
