"Tom Sachs' Technics turntable carton is a Brillo box for the disco generation. I am not a vinyl fetishist. Computer files are so much more convenient, and now that storage is cheap there is much less compromise on sound if you rip everything in Lossless. Vinyl probably does sound better than digital but may not be the ultimate. Last week I listened to an octogenarian producer who founded one of the greatest record labels of all time telling a sixty five year old artist producer with an equally remarkable resume that 78s sounded best of all if it they were properly recorded and provided one fitted the correct needle for each particular lacquer on the gramophone. So perhaps Tom should have recreated the box for a 78 turntable. Of course all the best dance records are 45s so with the Sachs Technics turntable box one can feel au courant whilst listening to one’s comprehensive MP4 collection at home. In a perfect world I would place Tom's 2003 foam core Technics turntable on top of this work. The masking tape would still be visible."
