Hi, Yes there is a new interest in vinyl. Several indicators. One main turntable maker (Rega as I recall) made more turntables last year than any year since 1990. Similar things are going on in the actual manufacturing of records. New companies are coming on line and sales are way up. They are still small, but growing steadily. It seems that one source for material is the newest bands and artists. It doesn't make sense...but then lots of other things don't either. I am a big fan of vinyl and have hundreds of LPs. Also 6 turntables, all but two are in use now. I do have lots of digital stuff as well, but my personal preferance is for the sound of LPs. A nice thing about vinyl...it is available second hand. Used vintage LPs are quite cheap and often in good shape. Many that I get for 25 cents are nearly new. It is also a source of music that is not yet and may never be on digital down loads.
