...that Michael Fremer, who has a years-long feud going with the NYT's technology section over audiophilia in general and vinyl in particular, was quoted in the article? The End must certainly be near...
I know it's dated 5/30 ... - Dave Pogue 17:26:34 05/31/12 (0)
... but it didn't show up in the dead tree version until today (5/31). Good article.
Thanks for the link, I just read it.... - cactuscowboy@bresnan.net 10:27:57 05/31/12 (1)
It's well written and informative. Thankfully the writer did not lapse into the oft-parroted "warm sound" cliche and wax poetic about nostalgic "clicks and pops."

I liked the comments made by Chad Kassem. Good insight into the record making process.

I take issue with one quote "They sound horrible" by Michael Fremer regarding picture discs. It's my experience that some do but many do not. Perhaps Fremer was quoted out of context or merely has limited (and bad) experience with picture discs?

One of the better articles I've read recently.

  I've found that picture discs can sound bad - but I am not getting them for the sound quality.
  
  I have some really good sounding picture discs, too.

Hey, any article that mentions the Captain Beyond 3-D cover can't be all bad. Wish I hadn't defaced mine with my name cleverly inscribed into the "cells" back in '73...

  The thread you linked to is about an article in the Wall Street Journal. The OP references a different article in the New York Times.
  
  Maybe what's actually interesting is that there are sizeable articles about vinyl in both papers on the same day.
