Vinyl will outlive the CD
9 December 2007
Matador and other labels include coupons in record packaging that can be used to download MP3 versions of the songs. Matador's Patrick Amory called the coupon program "hugely popular."Numark sold more than 100,000 turntables in 2004. Pressing plants are said to be ramping up. But its still very small boutique stuff, let's be fair.
The fact is, that the infrastructure needed to cut masters and replicate copies is falling apart. There are NO replacement parts available for the lathes, cutter heads, presses, injection molding equipment, etc. And if that is not a tall enough hurtle, we face another. The quality of newly produced vinyl is, and I am being kind, inconsistent. - joepalm, in the commentsPersonally I think that the path is forward: get rid of CDs and let's move onto 24/96. A format with such high definition that no-one would dare to try to squeeze the mastering into the top %0.5 because it would make them sound insecure. Wired : Vinyl May Be Final Nail in CD's Coffin
