RE: This guy was playing LPs with cactus needles.

"I've played some vinyl tracks hundreds of times without any audible degradation."

I recall this being demonstrated at an audio store roughly 15 years ago.... Two sealed copies of the same album were shown to the patrons, the store salesman opened one of the copies, put an "X" on the center label, and then placed it on a fully automatic turntable with the "repeat" mode turned on. He left the turntable running that vinyl side repeatedly overnight.

The next day, most of the patrons returned, the vinyl still playing on the turntable. He then opened the other copy, and played it side by side with the first copy, none of the patrons noticed a real difference between the two copies, save for one who thought the played copy was "slightly noisier" between tracks. But nobody could guess reliably which copy was playing.
