While talking about turntables, somehow we pushed in the background the fact that those turntables are designed and made by particular people.
Just as in ancient and not so ancient Japan, each Japanese sword made even by the same master was different, and as far as I know, those masters destroyed those swords that in their opinion didn't come out quite right, that's, had no soul. So in this sense I would say that there are no inanimate objects made by man, there is a certain transmission of something from man to created objects.
