Vinyl is shit, as a medium it is old.
In terms of manipulation, the new next generation CD players are spot on.
No one is going to invest money to try to develope the phonographic disc, as it is s destructive medium and not the best way to record sound.
Every time you play it, you damage the vinyl, and the needle, little by little.
The problem then is, moving releases to CD format. Much cheaper to produce, much better quality masters, smaller, lighter, reducing costs and increasing margins across the board.
If the price of the high end CD players would only come down I personally would gladly embrace the death of vinyl and the beginning of a change in the way our products work.
