Weird. It would be really interesting to see that split between the
DJ and audiophile markets. Because, in fact, there really are two
totally different LP markets that don't seem to intersect at all.

I agree.

Looking at hardware sales, it seems like the DJ market is far larger.


I am seeing a real boom in LP production right now. More so than
just can be accounted for by the Christmas season. But then again,
I'm not doing any DJ pressings.

Great!
