    Default Vinyl? And record decks? In Tesco? Is this the end? Or the beginning?

    http://www.engadget.com/2015/08/31/t...&ncid=rss_semi

    Reminds me of that bit in 'Withnail And I' when Danny The Dealer bemoans the fact that they are selling hippy wigs in Woolworth's.

    Is there really some sort of general technological backlash going on?

    Interesting development. I guess Tesco will try anything but you never know it may be a success

    Yeah.

    Does anybody really care. Next to banks and insurance companies, Tesco must be one of the most unpopular businesses around.

    Remember them deliberately hiking all their prices during the last recession?
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Not just them, everyone did, shrink the product, keep packaging in some cases the same, and increase the cost.
