[![1 (1)](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201bb08a83d39970d-150wi "1 (1)")](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201bb08a83d39970d-popup?ref=hypebot.com)That seems to be changing in that manufacturers have reintroduced turntable models that had previously been discontinued, and it's pretty easy to find one to buy from a variety of retailers.Even more evidence that vinyl is now being listened to is the announcement from **Amazon** that it's top selling electronic item over the holidays was a turntable.The **[Jensen JTA-230 3-Speed Stereo Turntable](http://amzn.to/1VMjlQU?ref=hypebot.com)** was the model of choice, probably because it's an all in one unit with built-in speakers, a USB port for converting vinyl records, and aux input for a connect a digital media player. Of course, the price was right as well at $50.While this is far from a high-end unit, the hot sales mean that at least some vinyl fans are finally listening to their round pieces of plastic.What's the second best selling electronic item? The **[Yamaha RX-V677 7.2-channel Wi-Fi Network AV Receiver](http://amzn.to/1VMjy6t?ref=hypebot.com)**, which features built-in support for Apple's wireless AirPlay protocol, allowing users to transmit music from an **iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Macor Windows PC.**
