Good old Jimbo - unfailingly reliable when it comes to telling the
*gourmet* occupants of this 'audio restaurant' what tonnage of
MacDonald's 'Beefburgers' and 'Turkey Twizzlers' are beiing shifted
around the globe....

He's not doing that. He's seeing a bunch of people paying sharks huge
amounts of money to go foraging on a scrap heap, and shouting "hey,
the gourmet restaurants out here are actually much cheaper".

It's nothing to do with money - Jim appears (to me, at least) much more
concerned with the *percentages* of the people who use valves and vinyl.
(Like what the Great Unwashed does has anything to do with being right
about anything or, perish the thought, knowing what's best...!!!) If you
permit the equation of eBay secondhand analogue with Tesco electronics
prices there are equals at every price point from genuine bargain to
serious rip-off in both analogue/digital, valves and SS, in my book!

(FWIW, the only person in my immediate circle who *doesn't* play vinyl
records is my youngest son - and he doesn't seem to have the time to do
anything these days!! ;-)
