Vinyl playback is still a secret

Over the last two years I have encountered many baby boomers with vinyl collections who did not know that vinyl was alive and well. Most could not believe that one could buy a new cartridge or replace a TT. What has struck me most is how none of these people would sell me their collection of LPs. Their records represent too many precious memories(even when records have not been played for 20 years).

My point is that mainstream consumers need to become more aware of the revitalization of analog. Articles and advertisements for analog products and accessories must be more apparent through the popular press. Sterophile, Absolute Sound, HiFi News et al. as well as websites such as Audiogon essentially reach the true believers and not the population at large.

Somehow, the popular press barrier must be breached if analog is to become truly vibrant and "cool" again.

Well Zy1234, I don't see many new classical pressings anywhere. Much to my dismay since I am a huge classical lover. Not at the brick and mortar stores and not at the online stores. There are the occasional reissues, but usually I can find an original for less money if I wait long enough. I never see anyone going through the used classical bins.

Were you referring to new pressings of classical and jazz? Or were you referrings to new pressings, period? If you mean the latter I find them all of the time.

If you have THAT many sources for pittance-priced LP's why, pray tell, do you complain about the "$10 junk" on Audiogon? ;-)
