Analog a dying breed

Well said, Viridian. I second that emotion.

My vote would be no it won't die. I'm a 31 year old budding audiophile and thought I'd never get into analog, until I heard my friend's dad's record player. Now I listen to both, and enjoy collecting the better recordings on LP, since they sound better. Plus it's just cool.

As for the younger generations, remember club and rave DJing is HUGE, and that's all records.

Wasn't it stated that we'd live on the Moon by now 10-15 years ago?

Just received the new Music Direct catalog. Page after page of new turntables, arms and cartridges, FAR more than new digital hardware. Check out Audio Asylum's Vinyl Asylum, probably the busiest forum on AA. For a soon-to-be corpse, this one is pretty lively.

analogue is and will always be a boutique market...music in any format is no longer a nessecity for most young people. it sadly is just a lifestyle choice, like dvd and videogames.
