Jimmy Fallon has a Mcintosh turntable


He showed it last night on his cell phone. He was playing a picture disc of Barry Manilow.

Right you are, taters. It was at Brooks Berdan Ltd. that Henry bought his system, but it was Brian who demoed, assembled, and installed the system in Henry’s home. Brooks was already ill with the Crohns disease which eventually killed him, and Brian was running the store. Brooks’ widow Sheila now manages BBL in Monrovia, and Brian has his new shop not far away in Pasadena.

Mark Maron is another Brooks Berdan customer and vinyl freak.  He shows a Mac TT and Mac monoblocks in his TV ranch living room, and occasionally works it into the plotline.

Taters, my comment about driving down the price of LPs is pure conjecture and based on a ton of variables, so what I stated is by no means guaranteed (hence the "could" qualifier.  

That said, I was being optimistic that normal patterns will follow.  If mass market demand rises, typically so does competition and in turn production and supply. Cellphones, computers, and indeed oil are contemporary examples, but automobiles, air travel, cruises, and other one-time niche items are all examples of this phenomenon.  When the LP market is limited, there is no incentive to startups nor for existing suppliers to produce in large quantities, so the concept of scarcity is credible and recovery of investment at unit cost means high prices.

OTOH, the biggest limiting factor is press capacity and unless there is continued discovery of dormant presses or manufacture of new ones, then we could indeed see increased competition for supply (and higher prices).  And that would indeed suck for those of that are true afficianodos vs. fashionistas!
