I only wish the YT post had used the line input from the camera or not bothered with the video. It detracts from the deeply haunting qualities of the song at this speed.

For me, witnessing the artifact doesn't detract from the feeling. It only reminds us that the record and player is the essential conduit to manifest this contingent sound - obvious as it may be. I also find that staring at a spinning record is meditative to what it emits.
