Clare Newsome, editor of What Hi-Fi? magazine, says: "A lot of the
tweaky geeky stuff is gone, and what we are seeing is that quality

But there is some light at the end of the tunnel for the hard-core
sound quality freak. Vinyl and valves are very slowly beginning to
make a comeback, as a small but increasing number of music
enthusiasts rediscover the joys and sound reproduction of old
fashioned analogue record players.

No, they're providing lots of entertaining magazine coverage, but the
market penetration of valves is negligible. All this talk of a
'comeback' reminds one of George Foreman............

George Foreman did come back, as a leading spokesman for a highly-marketed
line of low-cost kitchen applicances.

;-)

Just FYI. I don't know if Foreman is marketing cheap electric grilles in the
UK or not.
