Interesting article - thanks for the link! I have seen this sort thing a
number of times now - good to see it works 'down under' also!!

Note the point that people are not buying dedicated CDPs and the inference
that many people play them on other spinners like DVDPs - it doesn't mean
the ratio of CD to LP buying/playing is any way changed, obviously. It was
actually mirrored in one of the local shops a while back, where a friend
works. He said they weren't flogging any CDPs at all and that the great
majority of customers for audio stuff (not AV) at the time, were for
vinyl-related items - carts in particular!

(He's off long-term sick atm, so I don't know what the current position
is....??)

The only reason I thump the vinyl tub* here is because a (very) small number
of people are in complete *denial* on the subject and have tried to talk it
into oblivion - waste of fakkin' time, I'm afraid, the true 'audio
enthusiasts' (not the Chav mass-market who can be fed anything) aren't
listening, it would appear!! ;-)


*Otherwise, who cares/GAS what some people think of vinyl....???
