Me mate Shiny Nigel wuz up again tonight and tells me that, in the
shop he works in (St Neots), sales of turntables currently beats
sales of all CDPs, Cassette Decks and MD Recorders combined....!!

(In fairness, I would say that they almost certainly sell more AV
gear than 'hifi' these days.)

IOW this is a deceptive post - the guy is selling lots of optical disc
digital players, but most of his customers have figured out that dedicated
CD players are a thing of the past.
