selling vinyl and feeling?


I was just wondering how many fellow audiogoners have sold off their lp collections and are having regrets or are glad and completely happy staying with cd and sacd?

As I said, I'm not interested in the least in vinyl, old or new. Records suck, plain and simple. They sucked horribly in the mid-70s during the oil crisis, and I got sick of the warps, eccentricity, inner groove distortion, surface noise, non-fill, etc., etc., etc., etc.......
Johnnyb53, UrAnusCommittee fools the nurse that brings him his medication each night into thinking he is taking it, so how do you expect fool him into thinking vinyl is good?

Come on, he is not just any committee, he is uranuscommittee.

You act like I'm trying to convince you of the superiority of vinyl. I don't care what you prefer. If anything, Whoopee! More vinyl for the rest of us.

You're the one who hypothesized that a vinyl resurgence is based on how cheaply one can pick up used vinyl. You didn't even know that new vinyl is more expensive than CDs, and is as much or more than SACDs and XRCDs.

When the audiophile press talks about a vinyl resurgence, it's talking about new vinyl being played on products of a thriving new turntable industry, whether that's your personal preference or not. People aren't just dusting off their uncle's Garrard and picking up Paul Revere and the Raiders at the garage sale down the street. They're buying new $350-to-$1500 all-manual turntables and playing new vinyl releases that cost $20-35. New vinyl and new turntable sales are at their highest points in over 10 years, and old turntables and thrift shop vinyl don't figure into those statistics.
