Is vinyl dead ?

This is a dated question. Audio Advisor does not comprise the world of analog. You need to look at alternate sites that support analog.

I would say that although we are in the "digital age" a lover of analog music can find a larger selection of good turntables than in early 1980. Also, there is a good supply of re-issued LPs (of superior sonic quality than the orignals in some cases)

Everytime I go to Amoeba Records in Berkeley I see tons of people, mostly college kids, walking out with vinyl. They have a big selection.

You can't fool me! I've seen the headlines in the Enquirer and Sun Times: Vinyl spotted sunbathing in St. Tropez! Vinyl revisits home in Memphis! I'm Carrying Vinyl's Love-Child!!

No, no, no...it's right there in black and white; vinyl is very much alive and well, thank you very much! Now if vinyl could only take some of that weight off...still pretty big around the middle I've heard!

Oh no it's not dead.
Neither is new music with good lyrics.
This place is turning into a gloomy catacomb of dead enthuasiasm.
Arise Audiogoners arise and play yer systems even with ye olde vinyl and ye olde artists.
Rejoice, rejoice we are alive and we have systems that Rawk!
Get me a beer I'm gonna crank that amp up......

The wake is now in process. This is it. Say nothing bad about the dear departed.
