Will technology make records obsolete one day?

So, IMHO, money will be put to work in developing digital streaming and sound quality will eventually improve to where it is considered the best available.

Exactly. Exactly what was said when the "perfect sound forever" CD came out. And HDCD. And SACD. And probably at least half a dozen in between and since. Which, anybody even remember HDCD? Exactly my point. Obsolete is digitals middle name.

Yeah and not only that, out of the whole music industry- components, music content, concerts, everything- what has been the fastest growth segment, year to year, and over the last decade? Records! Turntables! Analog! 

Two things never gonna go obsolete: records. And trolling.

ROTFLMAO!

Obsolete is digitals middle name! Not just by performance either- when digital goes obsolete it goes the Full Monty, as in you can't even find anything to play it on even if you wanted to!

Records meanwhile are so universally obsolete proof they put one on the side of the Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977! Best scientists in the world, asked to make a record of all humanity to communicate with advanced civilizations, and they put it on a record. Nuff said.
