There is almost zero pop music released on SACD. There is almost zero classical music released on LP. The markets could hardly be more separate. As someone who likes both LP and SACD, I am very glad to see the vinyl resurgence in the pop and rock releases. But there is no such resurgence in the classical market. The best sounding classical releases today are all on SACD. And there aren't all that many of those either. I'd like to see pop and rock come out on SACD and I'd also like to see a lot more classical vinyl. But those are probably just pipedreams.
I agree with both you and pacman. The point of my post was to share the article about vinyl. The "fly in the ointment" phrase is not a good fit.

No problem.I was going to ask you what ointment, but since you've voted no confidence in your own analogy, I won't.
But the 800 pound gorilla in the room is the downloaded song. Vinyl, like SACD will always have a niche audience and may enjoy a small retro comeback. But the future of recorded music is selling electrons - not black or silver discs.
