See it turns out you can take something called a substrate, made out of things like silicon or germanium... then you can dope it with focused energy, and through quantum mechanics and a tunneling electron phenomenon you can have this magical device. It works kind of like a couple of vacuum tubes put together, costs a fraction to purchase, and has a factor of 1000 greater noise, environment and power fluctuation resistance.
Nothing like the hum of a receiver warming up, the glow illuminating the wall behind it. Then putting something on the turntable ,sss turntable,sss, turntable, sss, turntable.................
