Vinyl Is Once Again King?

Yeah, I used to think cassettes sounded great and I was never going to "go digital". That is until I heard a CD with the same music as a cassette I had. I am dumbfounded by the cassette resurgence and vinyl seems to have better lower tones and has a "right there" quality that digital doesn't have. After I'm seeing more and more mom and pop record stores popping up again I think this vinyl resurgence thing definitely has some legs. How long it will last is anybody's guess. I could do without the cassettes though.

I love vinyl! My 13 year old daughter has been collecting vinyl for several years now.Leave a comment:

I think vinyl is great, I buy a fair amount. But someone please explain to me the resurgence of audio cassettes, that's a terrible format that has no need to be revived. At least with vinyl there are some advantages, but cassettes have zero advantage to consumers other than what, nostalgia? But then again, most of the people buying these probably weren't alive when cassettes were popular, so I'm really mystified. CDs are dead though, most people go with streaming/downloading for digital formats, and they have vinyl for analog, although I still buy CDs occasionally.Leave a comment:

Vinyl Is Once Again King?
I was out of town visiting my sister in law with my wife. We were watching the news when a report came on saying Best Buy stores are doing away with selling CD's but will continue to sell vinyl records. What an ironic turn of events when in 1989 stores stopped stocking vinyl records in lieu of the at the time new CD's. I guess instead of paying $12 for a new CD they would rather pay $25 on up for a new vinyl record. I'm not anti-vinyl as I have probably recorded over 800 LP's to CD since 2006 but haven't done much of that lately due to running into too many technical issues but this is somewhat surprising, at least to me. I know several people whom say they can't remember the last time the bought a CD when I bring the subject of music up and I myself have bought digitally download albums and individual songs mostly out of convenience. And then there's streaming music, which I haven't so far gotten into but it's difficult to wrap my head around the fact that now vinyl is kicking CD's butt in terms of sales. Anybody have any thoughts on this?Tags: None
