In Reply to: NPR just ran a "Resergence of Vinyl" story posted by Jazz-Vinyl on April 16, 2007 at 05:59:53:
Said that sales are up 10% from last year. But in a low sales situation vinyl is not in any 'comeback' stance.Personally I wish the usb tables would go away. Or that people become quickly disenchanted and swear of vinyl forever. I don't want any resurgence. I want all those old LPs available for the few of us.
imagine what prices will be like if there is a resurgence. and imagine what the condition of those old LPs will be when they re-enter the used market. Harumph.
Follow Ups:
a resurgence would help this
there is plenty of the "old" stuff out there already.. not enough vinyl of music that has been produced in the past 20 years, and new releases.If done right, many of the re-issues are better than the origionals
you sure about that?
Of course I'm sure about that.. it's been brought up many times... also, you have Cisco, MFSL APO etc. that make excellent re-issues
i don't agree with you but you are still right. my bad.
A resurgence would fuel more new vinyl, lower prices, and more new TT hardware. Vinyl could be the new/old "hardcopy" format.
I didnt know that ripping vinyl to MP3 was getting that popular. Maybe the reporter could only figure that could be the main reason for a sales increase.I dont think most people are aware the vinyl is a quality audiophile format and dont even consider it for that.
CDs are certainly 'instant homogenized music' and most of us can be suckers for that aspect.When vinyl gets the reputation for being the best quality in reproduction I think that then it will have a pemanant niche.
expressions like:
"Boy did you hear that guys vinyl setup. Ive never heard anything so good"" I was over Uncle hanks house and his records sound so much nicer than my CDs"
