I have to agree - in Australia CDs constitute the main music market. The vinyl market is restricted to DJs; decent turntables are really expensive imports for us. I haven't got any turntables myself (when I DJed I would spend an afternoon/early evening at Chaser's practising and playing stuff) and I couldn't afford them and I wouldn't know how to set up some old ones. You can never get service for old ones or needles, anyway. I understand why UR and Mills favour vinyl but I do long for more CDs. Cheers C
