my take on this issue gents is simple,
VINYL IS SUPERIOR TO ANY CD FORMAT..ALBEIT SACD IS BETTER THEN STANDARD CD,
vinyl is for true audiophiles.....and for people who actually listen to the whole side of an lp ...not 1 or 2 songs one side then pop another lp on the deck.
vinyl is always upgradeable....cart,tone arm, wires,etc
cd is just convient!!! eventually cd's are going to go away
and everything is going to become MULTI-MEDIA...
it has already began to happen with the incarnation of the IPOD......,
vinyl reissue jazz,blues, is available for 7.99 new sealed 120 grm from places like fantasy records...most 180 grm,are available for 12.99 and higher...classical stuff is also not hard to find especially at swap meets and such.
why would anybody want to spend 14-30 bucks on a format that is not selling to well...and will go away like mini discs......
general public always did and always will control the music
sales....
vinyl again is for true audiophiles.....yes its a pain in the tuhis...but it serves the music better and the intention of the artist.
i say.....buy all the vinyl possible.....even the thrash hardcore black metal..etc
what ever puts a smile on your face at the end of the lp!!
my 2 cents worth!
