I think you could relate this passage to unboxing a black box. Since the output (record player) wasn't exactly to the turtoises' specifications and wasn't "perfect" he set out to have one created that was indeed "perfect". This meant he had to think about the details of the record player, the sounds it made and the materials it was made of. Many times we just accept the completed product and even if we are not completely happy with it we do not make suggestions to the manufacturer on ways to make the product better or more to our individual likings, we assume that we are the only ones who would want a specific detail added or removed. He also mentions the workings of musicians and poets as well and what goes into creating their masterpieces as well.
