Why aren't modern portable record players any good?

[Richmondbread]

I have an old portable record player from the 1960's. It's a suitcase model and a bit heavy because it has tubes. Although it makes a slight hum, it still has decent sound quality and better than anything in the portable market today. The record players they have out now are just awful. The sound quality is terrible. I got a Crosely model to try and transfer vinyl to my computer. It sounded like a tin can. If someone is new to vinyl, it may even ruin the experience for them. I wonder if quality is just going downhill . Maybe the older players sound better because they are made of different material? Of course portables are not going to be as good as HQ stereo systems, but they just don't make 'em like they used to. My General Electric record player is still going and it's almost 60 years old.

how did u get ur music on a vinyl lp?

I found a low end record manufacturing plant. There are still at least 200 vinyl pressing companies in the United States. This one was called Palimino Records. It is more expensive, but you can get about 200 records pressed for $600 . I had to have jackets made separately so that was another $400 . They made the vinyl laquers from a CD instead of a tape , so you get kind of an odd analog/digital hybrid.

any kind of pitch correction?

For my records or my singing? I never use anything on my voice. What you hear is what you get. I would rather have some imperfections. If you listen to auto tuned voices, there is an unnatural quality to them.
