I read this in the NYT, and stole the idea of posting it here from
someone in another group. Food for thought, perhaps, by Anthony
Tommasini, probably the most important classical music critic now
working.

Five million turntables per year in the United States?
"turntables, with sales of five million a year in the United States,"

I am not a vinyl person, but it seems completely contradictory, suggesting
that the number of turntables sold annually is a sizeable fraction of the
number of ipods sold. Would anyone hazard a guess as to how many separate
households have turntables that are actually spinning away?


The ratio isn't ipods to turntables, it's turntables to microphones.
