To me the real killer point is if you take any decent
source - analogue or digital - and copy to digital in
the CD format and to vinyl, there were be a *very*
noticeable difference between that master and the vinyl
but not between it and the digital copy. Of course
*some* will prefer the vinyl sound. But then come up
with all sorts of bull**** as to why.

Yep it's been happening for 25 years and no sign of
stopping.

My take is that now that the DJ-driven demand for vinyl is falling
off, and sales are already dropping preciptiously, the hype will trail
off.


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. Vinyl continues to chunter on and with the flood of new
hardware (turntables, carts &c.) I supect it will only grow when the
lofts have been emptied and the owners of that hardware want to feed
their investments...


I think we need to consider the psychology and sociology of the
situation, By publically fawning all over vinyl, people join what they
perceive to be an elite. The psychology of preferring vinyl despite
its warts is similar to piercing.


Studying the psychology of those who feel *excluded* from what is a
fairly commonplace and mundane leisure activity might be more
interesting and then maybe go on to try and fathom why the same
evidenced *denial* is being applied to any new HD audio media??

Readers of a UK newsgroup might want to ask themselves why a foreigner
feels it necessary to pound it relentlessly with *antivinyl
propaganda*?? All I can say is that I believe this group exists
primarily for and is staffed by *UK audio enthusiasts* (not the legions
of Chavs who couldn't care less and who could be sold shrink-wrapped
dog**** with the right marketing hype) and, as far as I can say,
everyone I know locally as such an 'enthusiast' plays LPs on a routine
basis, as do almost all the members of this group who have visited
here - all bar one, I think...

Anyway, like it or not, vinyl will never become *extinct* in ukra while
I can be bothered to subscribe - elsewhere, I couldn't give a rat's
arse....
