vinyl sales are slipping away... that is a horrible FACT . But i think we still have years left of dj playing vinyl. I mean look at the response you get when you talk of the death of the vinyl...people still love the sound and style of use of it! As do I and all the dj's i know...But we at the fat collective are investing in a cd deck because it's a wick way of testing your tunes on a crowd! thats why the two can work together for now.
