In response to some questions regarding LPs. The album is the only musical medium that has been increasing in market share of almost five years now. Music sales are down across the board except for the LP.
I have a hard time believing that the CD would have ever really caught on if it were not for the fact that record companies pulled ALL the vinyl off the shelves and force-fed a gullable public this inferior medium!
There were more rooms using vinyl as their main (or in some cases, ONLY) source at RMAF last weekend, yeah I know, that's ancient history. That wasn't just the TT manufacturers either. There were dozens of new TTs shown for the first time too. SOTA is working on a redo of almost their entire line which will bring them to the next level too. Teres showed to completely different designs than anything they've done before. What do they know. There were few new CDPs. I didn't notice anyone selling CDs their, but there were about 12,000 LPs for sale...
BWDIK...
