With phonograph i mean this [0], not any (modern) record player. It might be a language/region thing, but at least i understand "phonograph" (and "gramophone") to be the antique mechanical record players with the large metal horn.

I mean, that wiki page shows that electronic record players can still be referred to as a phonograph.
