Moore's law keeps on going, but somehow the music tech industry got stuck in the 80s with CD. If the format stuck with Moore's law we'd have had hi-res by 1987. Instead music tech went backwards to MP3.
Vinyl was far better than CD if you were an audiophile. The problem was the masses had crappy turntables with even crappier styluses. They also didn't take care of their records. CD seemed so easy and "perfect sound forever".

So, for the masses, CD was far better than vinyl! ;-)
And speaking personally, I was all too happy to ditch vinyl as soon as CD's came out - and I've never looked back. (And I fancied myself a fanatic about record care too - it was good riddance for me!)
Moore's law and the music industry going in opposite directions. We'd all be listening to high quality high resolution music if the music industry had a clue.

I'm still enjoying a turntable for backup purposes I purchased as a teen in '76 which is still pretty decent by today's standards - an Ariston RD11s (same father as Linn Sondek LP-12) with an SME 3009 arm. :)
