Is vinyl dead ?


Has anyone else noticed the lack of vinyl gear and accessories in the latest Audio Advisor catalogue ? Have sales slipped so much that they no longer feel the need to include this category of products in their catalogues ? Makes you wonder what's going on ??? Sean

Sean: I used to sell audio equipment. I kind of know what happened here (don't need to be a psychic). And I'm not attacking the man, in fact I defended him from someone above joking him for having regenerators. Just told him he needs to go back to square one. He's the one that wrote that the truth sometimes hurts, so I assumed he's ready for it (maybe).

Now the dealer is one piece of work, let me tell you. The first question I always asked customers was the size of the room and the layout.
Psychicanimal,
I wasn't joking him for having regenerators. I have the poor man's equivalent, Exact Power EP15A. The joke was spending major bucks to seperate digital from analog, then posting that digital was superior. That's truly funny.

Vader,
Like some other crazies, we love the sinner but we hate the sin! Feel free to tell us what you think of all this unsolicited advice.
Sean, I have been trying to attract flies for years. Appearantly I've been going about this all wrong. I tried the 'not bathing' an similar things. All I need is honey???
No way! I've been putting together a modest but sweet analogue system these last few months ( AR, Luxman, Thorens, Grado ). Bought a Simply Vinyl 180gm pressing of Gerry Rafferty's "City to City". Cued up "Right Down the Line". I had such a physical reaction to the vocal harmonies
that my jaw dropped. This from a $500 investment! The upgrade bug will bite me soon. Dead? HA!
Unfortunately for the people who pose this question, they simply have not heard what a high quality vinyl rig can do. The real sham in the audio industry is the overhyped digital media which has yet to surpass a quality recorded LP on a Hi-end system.
