Sonneteer Sedly.
Many years ago the prophets of Hi-Fi audio doom got out there crystal balls and danced under the full moon declaring a new silver disc that offered "perfect sound forever" not only that they declared from their trumpets that vinyl was dead? vinyl was going to be put in the museum were they claimed it belonged and locked up for good.
Many had there ears tickled and danced and followed those who were singing to the praise of the brand new silver disc, like fools to the slaughter they mothballed or even worse sold of their treasures, their gateway to the memories of their misplaced childhood, lost gone forever, the black plastic disc had gone to meet it's maker while the new kid on the block that little silver disc was to be audios saviour.
Thankfully for us history and bold marketing claims got it wrong, as more and more music lovers, audiophiles have realised that there is a cetain magic formula that is contained in those old black plastic discs that just make people want to play there vinyl over and over again, because for such people that perfect sound forever could never reach the majestic sound quality that was unique to vinyl, and yet today we still a huge demand for vinyl, so much for the death of vinyl, it just refuses to go away as more and more return to discover just what it was that their parent saw in collecting vinyl, today we have a generation that never gave up on the old faithful, and a new up and coming generation of music lover who appreciate the power and emotion of vinyl and how cool it is to be seen amongst their peers as a owner of a Turntable..
