I have tons of vinyl but will never play it or sell it. I will not invest the time or effort it takes to play vinyl well. SACD is just too good to even consider it.

Vinyl playback is still a secret
Over the last two years I have encountered many baby boomers with vinyl collections who did not know that vinyl was alive and well. Most could not believe that one could buy a new cartridge or replace a TT. What has struck me most is how none of these people would sell me their collection of LPs. Their records represent too many precious memories(even when records have not been played for 20 years).
My point is that mainstream consumers need to become more aware of the revitalization of analog. Articles and advertisements for analog products and accessories must be more apparent through the popular press. Sterophile, Absolute Sound, HiFi News et al. as well as websites such as Audiogon essentially reach the true believers and not the population at large.
Somehow, the popular press barrier must be breached if analog is to become truly vibrant and "cool" again.
