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.
