Today on Sunday Morning (CBS) the resurrection of the turntable was as an instrument and not for playback!!
Beyond the argument of sound quality or convenience, the major problem with SACD/DVD for me has been the need ti start a new disc library of software that often already own on CD or LP.
When I returned to vinyl a few years ago, I immediately had about 700 records to explore and rediscover without spending an additional penny. What a marvelous adventure it has been - simply addictive. Of course I have since spent many more pennies on new records, but I am still trying to clean and catalogue all the records I own.
If and when I follow the SACD route, I doubt that I will purchase software I already own unless its a must have version of somethng precious to me. When most software is released routinely as new on hybrid discs, I will probably make that decision.
I think many new people, if informed and excited, will flock to vinyl because they already have the software. Reentering the hobby will inspire more purchases of new LP's as well as used records, which will provide more market incentive for record companies to release current music on vinyl as well as CD. That is good for everyone.
