I can very well relate to the last paragraph (quoted below). Agree with the author on that.

Vinyl is decidedly inconvenient, which is the very reason it appeals. To play records, you have to be relatively engaged in the activity. The disc has to be taken off the shelf and out of its sleeve. It has to be placed on the platter. The needle has to be lowered just so. How different that is from the way we've been encouraged to consume musicas a sort of automated aural wallpaper best achieved by a digital playlist in shuffle mode. Vinyl demandsand encouragesmore attention. "If I'm cooking or cleaning around the house, I'll plug in the iPhone or play CDs," says Nick Blandford, managing director of the Jagjaguwar record label, home to the indie-folk-rock band Bon Iver. "But if I'm sitting down deliberately to listen to music, I'll listen to vinyl."

Hopefully the production of TTs will increase and the cost of quality TTs will come down in the next couple of years :licklips:

Edit: It wont get real until Analog recording makes a comeback. Or the Vinyl are pressed from the best HD/SACD format digital recordings. Until then most Vinyl owners will be deluding themselves playing Vinyl from cheaply mastered digital sources.

Good old days and good old ways are coming back. i have recently started collecting records. My job makes me travel extensively to NY and i ensure i visit flea markets to purchase rare ones....

Does anyone know if LPs are sold in New Delhi?
