I'm coming into this area as a practical and philosophical result of:

  1. me wanting to own my music
  2. CDs are barely being made
    2.1. If they are - they're not being shipped to my corner of the world
  3. Torrenting often failed me in terms of variety.

However - I am absolutely ignorant about equipment, maintainance, and know-hows of the audiophile world.

Most likely so that the vibrations from the speakers does not interfere with the records playback. As the needle should touch the LP as lightly a possible.
