He must enjoy being wrong all the time, otherwise he wouldn't work so
hard at it. It looks to me like there is still a lot of interest in vinyl.
eBay is selling a lot of record players at good prices. It took me a lot of
shopping to find the quality I wanted at a price I was willing to pay. New
record players are coming off the assembly lines every day and are easy to
find in a lot of places. Just in the last year ARTcessories came out with a
very nice USB phono preamp, someone besides me is buying the things. If you
go looking around there are a lot of very expensive phono preamps being
hooked up to computers. There are also a lot of businesses buying and
selling records. It's obvious at this point that not everything from the
vinyl era will be released on CDs. For example Frank Zappa had a record
label for awhile and none of that stuff has ever been released on CDs. The
only way I could get my favorite Dave Von Ronk tune was to rip it from
vinyl.
I certainly looked at DadiOH's info when I was getting back into
vinyl. I don't think I ended up agreeing with all of it, but it was helpful
and I don't think there's anything harmful there--it's all pretty standard
stuff. The only reason audiobaby isn't in my kill file is because of the
amusement derived from watching someone self-destruct in such a rapid and
complete manner.
