Not as much activity on analog here

Monitoring this site and analog in particular I see a downward trend in interest. Why is this so. Are we a community that has not grown much and all our questions have been interested ? Are we losing interest? Is digital finally getting the soul of the music right? I wish someone would chime in maybe audiogon and show us some statistics. Maybe it's not analog but all across the forum. Let's here from you.

I don't think it's that there is less interest, but there are only so many things you can talk about. We've discussed record cleaning to death, cartridge alignment, VTA, SRA and everything else you can think of. There is really nothing new. Buy a good tt, a good cart, set it up correctly, clean your records and listen. It reminds me why I stopped subscribing to Golf Digest. It's a great game, but there are only so many articles you can read on how to putt. Now it's time to stop talking and start listening. Really.

Most people with turntables spinning vinyl are happy, so not as much to talk about.

The digital bois are always a few months from their DAC being obsolete and looking for a new upgrade :-)

LP will always sound best if you have a very good turntable.

THere is some truth to what Downunder said also, although if you get it right these days, the need to chase the latest and greatest becomes more debatable. Still, I hope I am around still to see where digital is say 10-20 years from now. Lots of innovation, lots of new products, lots of new features, potential for even better sound, if needed.
