I continue to buy LP's as well, but only if they're reissues where I can't find a good original copy or something missing from my collection that is from before digital recording.
For example, I just bought the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers reissue LP - I know I used to have it but for some reason that was missing.
For new music, I'm perfectly fine with a CD. The only exception is with groups where I have everything on vinyl, and want to have the latest on LP as well.
Mind you, that isn't with very may bands. Maybe Neil Young, Fleet Foxes, Arcade Fire, that sort of thing.
I never thought there was a "Vinyl Resurgence" because there wasn't. Annual LP sales for any label are less than 1% of their overall volume. Selling a few hundred thousand copies when it used to be in the hundreds of millions is hardly a resurgence.
And yes, I also look forward to LP's coming down to a reasonable price.
