The less the demand for CD's the better IMO as I can get s/hand CD's for about $1 each. Second hand vinyl is still expensive and new is just ridiculous. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

was_a Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Not to mention the average quality of many new pressings. What a contrast with records pressed in the '70s. Edited January 25, 2020 by was_a 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, record companies are creating too higher cost, which will cost vinyl in the long run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fodderstomf Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 I'm starting to wonder if the vinyl revival is just a play by record labels to get everyone to buy everything on vinyl again I love vinyl but the more I think about it the more suspicious I get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for someone to buy a record and play it on a $100 turntable/speaker all-in-one it is just a marketing/fad thing that the record companies are making the most of while it lasts. $50 for a new release on vinyl is a joke imo.

It really is I would have hoped with the boom they may have come down but they are getting more expensive .... The new interest has been great in other ways I will admit So many more stores are stocking vinyl and more companies are making turntables etc It's just odd that every week you read a news article about how many records have been sold and how no one buys CDs anymore when that is just not true Edited January 25, 2020 by fodderstomf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray4410 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 the whole vinyl thing has gotten out of hand,i am glad I got off that very expensive bandwagon a few years ago,been into it for 50years spent a small fortune on vinyl and turntables cartridges acc etc too many to mention,these days it is cds or streaming and have no complaints about sound quality with either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
