Rubbish. You know nothing about turntables and vinyl replay. Please explain how a needle can follow a track without any friction whatsoever.
I didn't say that it could, you appear to assume that friction, per se and in this context must by definition cause damage. In other words that friction is a bad thing. Is it ?
The friction is minimal. So low with good equipment that you many not notice it. Being so minimal, the difference from one time you play a record to the next one is probably impossible to notice, by ear at least. After a hundred playing cycles you should notice the difference, if you can remember how it played the first time, not the 99th. You could try playing a record just once, then go out of the room for a week or so, while somebody else plays it a hundred times. Then you come back, and listen to it again. If your ear and memory are good enough you should notice the difference. If not, you can instead make a digital recording the first and the last time, and compare. Or better, make a hundred recordings, and compare all of them to find out how they degrade. Surely there is such a study somewhere already made. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
