    That’s funny. My daughter just bought her husband a turn table for Christmas. Vinyl is coming back. Or so they tell me.

    Vinyl is totally coming back. They just had to wait for everyone to trash their old albums and turn tables. Now, everybody has to buy them all over again.

    More often than not, they have their turntables connected to a $700+ receiver that’s adept at removing hiss, crackle, pops, and other aberrations in the audio stream. That’s all done digitally, but what makes the difference is that the audio is often sampled at 128 khz or higher, whereas a CD is typically 44.1 khz. The music industry half-heartedly tried to get consumers to accept super-audio cd’s recorded at 2822.4 khz, but the higher cost, the need for specialize equipment to read them, and the movement to mp3/aac portable formats killed SACD’s.
