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

I particularly like Michael Fremer pointing out how several young people he had run into recently thought vinyl was cool, as evidence that the vinyl "resurgence" continues to gather steam. I'm pretty sure this is the same demographic we've complained about over their penchant for MP3 downloading and the death of quality sound.

BUT, MF also points out that vinyl outsold SACD and DVD-A COMBINED. That's the same SACD and DVD-A you can find at major retailers if you know just which corner to look in and don't need any help from the store employees that don't know anything about them.
I guess that the folks that made me initiate this thread must have read it. That is, the new Audio Advisor catalogue is dedicated to all things vinyl. As Emily Latella would say "nevermind" : ) Sean

Sean: If one is to judge by catalogs, take a look at the latest from Music Direct...Analog front, center, and out the yin-yang :-)
Psychicanimal, Yammie A1, that was a sweet piece in my mine. Sold it years ago. Tell me how it sounds today. tks
