Aside from that, it making a comeback because it's hip; because it's a nice collectable object complete with cover art, lyrics and whatever else (while you're lucky if you even get a little leaflet with a CD these days); and because for some reason CDs are intentionally mastered horribly these days (e.g. dynamic range compression), while vinyls aren't.
you totally read my mind. album covers were a big part of why people collected vinyl. they still have a bigger impact than those tiny CD inserts. a lot of 70s bands commissioned great designs for their records. |

Not really surprised CD's are over. But I'm not really surprised that vinyl is making a comeback either. There's a much warmer sound to it than mp3's, or CD's.
I've never seen anyone quantify what that "warmth" is, and I'll bet it disappears in blinded tests.

if vinyl comes back so will vacuum tubes.
Actually they already have, kind of. Guitar amps with tubes are still made. Some have tubes and the modern digital stuff. Kind of a hybrid amp I guess. |

is it warmer because of the analog playback or is it from the analog recording? i always wondered what audiophiles were referring to when they say that because a lot of music today are recorded digitally. so wouldnt that present a problem for vinyl which used to be made from copies of original analog recordings? |

| It's not like CDs are going to disappear from the face of the Earth just because record labels ("major" ones) stop pressing music on them. |

Hmm, that's annoying.
CD's are the one legal universal standard for conveniently and reliably obtaining MP3 (albeit requiring a conversion) of any desired quality/size, from any label.
CDs are also cheaper.
(YMMV) |
