You totally missed the actual problem with his comment: He was LOOKING at the turntable and made this comment about platter noise. He had not yet gotten to the LISTENING part of the review. Or, if he had, his writing was unclear as he had not yet spoken of listening:
Those words in capital letters tell us he's inspecting the parts visually and tactilely, not sonically.
Come to think of it, since he hadn't gotten to the listening yet, VIRTUALLY no platter noise is DAMN LOUD PLATTER NOISE!
I'm surprised he didn't begin each sentence with "I feel...".
I went to a little Chinese restaurant for carry out and a family came in shortly after I ordered. EVERY freaking thing the son said, who looked to be in his early-20s, began with "I feel". I came very close to asking him if he had ever considered thinking about anything but I guess that wouldn't have validated his feelings.
