As a mass market thing CD has already killed off vinyl, did it a long time ago, but as a niche market I think Vinyl is going to be around for quite some time and after the used Vinyl starts petering out, as in some area's stuff like Hendrix that's in good shape is seemingly rare nd $$$, not that long ago Hendrix and other really popular used Vinyl was ubiquitous, at any rate it would seem that would really help increase the sales of that Vinyl as re-releases
why spend $$$ on noisy marginal used copies ?Also I've noted an almost universal fascination with Vinyl with younger friends, too young to have been exposed as kids, not only for the sound but the Cover art and the fact that the gear and the user involvement aspect is very attractive.
I have a 32 yr. old Woman friend who has spend 2 or 3 entire evenings spinning Vinyl and going through my collection looking at the cover art, I don't ever see Vinyl completely dying out.
Follow Ups:
cover art in cd jewel boxes and I can't help but think that it's a real shame that there may be younger folk out there being exposed to Roger Dean, Hypgnosis, or HR Geiger, etc. cover art for the first time by the inferior cd reproductions!Vinyl is a total package, textural, visual and aural. CD's can never compete with that.
When you're going on 56,and as weathered (rode hard and put up ert too many timres)looking as I am I need all the help I can get ;-)
