   AFAIK, the intention is to record the existing vinyl collection   
   conveniently.   
      
      
   Heck. I just had a quick look at Amazon, and several compact players I   
   see include the speakers in the base, so there is feedback between the   
   speaker and the capsule.   
      
   Old briefcase players had the speaker on the lid, which was detachable.
