No Arny, you've got that all wrong (unless you are *distorting* again
which, of course, is highly likely) - it's CDs that are disappearing
rapidly.
Where the hell do YOU live?
Keith seems to spend a lot of time in some other universe - one where there
are actually a signficiant number of people who care about tubes, vinyl,
noisy microphones and tinny-sounding speakers.
But I note you do NOT claim vinyl sales have even reached the most
minuscule
percentage of CD sales, or availability.
Letsee, RIAA statistics show that several hundred million CDs were sold last
year, and Keith thinks that they are "disappearing rapidly"?
You've got to wonder what's in Keith's blood besides blood!
It's amazing what you can do with statistics though. An Audio rag recently
claimed that turntable sales in England were greater than CD player sales
last year.
I'm sitting here thinking that the sales of home optical players has
migrated from CD to DVD so fast that there might even be a bit of truth to
this claim.
Even IF true, what they conveniently ignored was the millions of DVD
player,
SACD player, DVDA player and other assorted hybrid player sales, that all
play standard CD disks.
Not that much less of a stretch than what Keith was saying - that the fact
that CD sales are being replaced by downloaded music is somehow relevant to
the fact that analog media like the LP went from 100% of the market to only
a percent or two.
"Never let the facts get in the way of a good argument" is still a widely
accepted philosophy it seems.
Agreed.
