yeah last year it outsold other physical media and this year has been stronger, although more money sales does not = more vinyl than dd as vinyl is twice as expensive, most new vinyl come with a code for dd version.

for me i find vinyl sits alongside streaming services perfectly so i dont need to download mp3's or buy and rip cd's anymore. On the commute and at work i just tune into spotify and at home i put the vinyl on. It will be interesting i guess to see the final death of a CD having been round to see its emergence. Makes me feel even older to see the invention and demise of a media.

Value not volume though

Also, I'm pretty sure music download sales have fallen off a cliff. If you believe the stats, the number 100 single is selling less than 1K copies. At 99p a pop that won't make record companies fat.

Just needs a few of the not original artists compilations like the ones you used to get in supermarkets

I'm sure we bought those for the cover photos more than the music.

What kind of music are you into? What's your vinyl spinning rig can I ask?

I was a kid when my dad was buying them. Took me years to realise they were cover versions ... not that I cared.

Currently using Project Debut Carbon(carbon fibre arm is lurrvley)with Ortofon 2m cart, Arcam Alpha 7 and Q Acoustic 2020i

It's a great sounding system but will go as my 2nd system March 2017 as I am having a custom built LP12, I have Tannoy Devons that sound great but need re foaming, and I am still undecided on the valve amp choice.

Very nice.....! I've a pair of Audioplan Kontrast MkII floorstanding speakers, turntable wise I've an Acoustic Signature Challenger MkI TT, SME V tonearm, Len Gregory Music Maker 3 moving iron cartridge, Kinshaw Perception MM/MC phono-stage, and only today did a deal on a pair of World Audio Design 300B valve mono-blocks (push/pull design), Promitheus Audio TVC passive preamp.

I've around 550 vinyl album's, and listen to digital steaming via a netbook/Squeezebox etc.

Love music, it's been my life.....!
