The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation

"But digital rules, no question."
For you. Not for everyone.

"The Earth is round."
For you. Not for everyone.

Which is more asinine? Discuss among yourselves, digiphiles.

I find nothing nostalgic about something I never had or heard before, and that’s high end analog.

Right, impossible to be nostalgic about something you never experienced. A dazzling display of logic. Unbelievable, even.

I was kind of like that. Every record would be listened to once as it was dubbed onto the Pioneer RT, usually the whole album and then a few choice cuts that would go onto play lists. But then after that they would only come out for the occasional "serious listening session." 

Now its all "serious listening sessions". They come out all the time!

it’s not just that analog is better, but that the recording process served the music and music making, much better then. and the musicians were....more special.

Imagine: one take, no mix-downs- and all recorded to a standard far in excess of the finest playback systems of the day. Lightning in a bottle. Special, indeed.

Of course with streaming music of vinyl quality is unobtainable at any price, I think you meant to say. The great mass of people abandoned the quality of records for the convenience of CD. It has taken a very long time, decades in fact (and is ongoing still), but those who really listen to music naturally gravitate to quality, and that means records. Is it now 15 or 20 years, or more, that records have been the one growth segment in the music industry? I've long since lost count. Or interest. 

If you enjoy music get your records. Records do run out, and unlike digital cannot be replicated to infinity. Its only their sound quality goes to infinity. Given time, price will follow suit.
