RE: That is an iinteresting point you make there...

This thread has me thinking...

The fact that no one in the pressing business is willing to invest in new machinery makes me think that they still don't see this as a long term trend.

The concern that LPs are a fad and that the audiophile customer doesn't matter is a valid one. I have a few recent LPs that don't come close to the digital editions which is indicative of sloppy or incompetent mastering (not to mention hour-long albums commonly being put on a single disc). It often gets difficult to defend vinyl playback under these conditions. How long can a spinning starburst-rainbow PVC pattern distract you from the sound of a crappy, compressed, off-center, noisy LP? But, then the point that CD reissues are just as hit-or-miss makes me realize this is and will always be just a business. It's rarely about the music.

When you find someone who actually cares, make sure you support them.
