The man in the trade sez....
 
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.)

- Could have posted this in ukrav, but I'm sure no-one there needs
telling.... ;-)

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.

Which just goes to show that they value 'convenience' over sound quality.

No - A N Audio http://www.anaudio.co.uk/index.htm

Dearest shop in the kingdom - take it as a personal insult if you tell 'em
their Full Retail prices are a joke. (Had it too sweet - fleecing chavs for
so long.... ;-) I've had a lot of fun taking the **** ever since they eBayed
a Thorens TD 124 II out from under my arse (and a Technics SP10 out from
under someone else's).

Most recent, a Sony DAB:

ANAudio - £249

SN 'special price' to me - £209

ElectroSaver - £179

Get the idea? :-)

Arrogant ******* (not SN - his boss) reckons people are happy to pay over
the odds 'just to deal with him'!!
