General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

let's remember,

the United States isn't the world.

These are U.S. sales.

Anecdotally, at least, SACD seems to be pretty strong outside of the U.S.

The important question isn't the trend; the important question is: at what levels can the sales of these formats still support manufacturers of equipment that plays the equipment back?

Given the huge "legacy base" of both LPs and CDs out there and given that both media are pretty durable, it would appear that a low level of current production and sales would be sufficient to support manufacturers of playback equipment for those media. There are certainly more people making turntables and tonearms than was the case 10 or 15 years ago.

Competing digital formats . . . may be another matter.
