Yeah I saw that last night.. only they did not show anything "high end" or "audiophile" quality.. just 70's type DD tables, S-arms, and cheapo DJ cartridges. They were clueless...
Maybe that was just as well. If it had been a profile of audiogeeks with $12,000 turntables, $4,000 "needles," and $2500 phono stages, the lasting impression would have been that the vinyl resurgence is limited to high-rolling weirdos. It's a much more positive effect if it's presented as mainstream and most of all, affordable. The people profiled were accessible and the gear they had was familiar and affordable.
