While everybody likes to talk about vinyl coming back, it will never be more than a small blip. People are laying down their plastic for MORE vinyl & MORE vinyl goodies – turntables, cartridges, phono preamps etc but it is far, far from the stampede that some sources make it out to be. Stores deserted vinyl for many years & many have a token representation back again.
The biggest problem with digital playback, is that the vast majority of consumers are happy to accept it as is. I have heard many of the best quality CD-based systems that money can buy & it is far better than you think. Have you heard a good $2K CD player? Most people have not & certainly wouldn’t buy it because it isn’t that much better than a $99 one, right?
Cheap analogue was cheap analogue. Cheap digital is cheap digital. A properly selected system in either format can be stunning.
