Hello.
I visited a branch of Superfi and, yes, they had turntables in stock. I
don't recall seeing any that were the same price as a new car. Can't check
prices at the moment as the Superfi web site isn't responding.

I think that the demand for turntables could be a "Baby Boomer" thing. I
bought my turntable nearly forty years ago. It has a few problems so I'm
thinking of buying a new turntable. Old turntable had an SME arm and a V15
cartridge so I'd aim to replace it with something similar.



I just can't see there's enough Baby Boomers revisiting vinyl to account for
the number of turntables that are so widely available....???




"Baby Boomers" may not be limited to hi-fi. I've friends who are near, or
at, retirement and who are buying the cars / cameras / holidays that they
wanted but couldn't afford to spend the money until now.



That's called 'skiing' as in 'Spending the Kids Inheritance'!



Personally, I can't readily distinguish between CD and LP. I may have the
choice of buying a new turntable or buying CD versions of my LPs.


If you do not perceive any benefit from playing/listening to LPs you may as
well go the far easier CD route or even go solid state? Not my bag but it
makes a lot of sense....
