Thanks for inviting us into your music room and familiarizing us with its gear and capabilities. Good information about the direction of record sales trends. Always a worthwhile visit.
Here its the opposite, People are selling off their collections like crazy. They say its just not as fun anymore. I will never stop I've been doing it for 51 years. Awesome Video!
Many thanks for sharing. Imo, regardless how correct the latest vinyl sales stats are, the heyday is over. Economy, market oversaturation and gen changes are causing a decline and recovery is not foreseeable, accepting that the buying hype during the Covid period was expected to not last forever. I am afraid that we will continue to see stores closing, labels restructuring their vinyl business (eg VMP) and (new) pressing plants with underutilized capacity. And I hope that those effects will not be too dramatic for employment in that industry. On a positive note, those changes will also normalize and clean up the market in terms of weeding out the poor quality stuff and ever superfluous releases and re-releases which nearly no one really wants to have. Hopeful! Support the small labels with high quality music artists and great sounding pressings!
:: with the owner of 7th heaven retiring in november, one year after the owner of vinyl renaissance, josey records will become kansas citys largest store. i see it as an opportunity for joseys to expand to the south side, but im no market researcher :: ill be interested in your assessment of that pre-amp. although id hate to replace my pro-ject anniversary edition pre in the living room where i play-grade. lol :: its just that i have considered putting a turntable in my office which is on the opposite side of the living room & its system. having one next to the computer could be beneficial of course so its a thought. does this, usually vinyl ripping, integration play a part?
