Interesting read on LP's

I came across this article on the Modern Mechanics website. I thought is was interesting to see the mind set of a change in media technology.

What I notice is that there has always been a set of folks whining about the good old days after every change.

Right now there is a certain level of complaining about the good old days of CDs now that "everyone" is playing compressed digital music on their I-whatevers.

Before that, those cold, sterile, brittle sounding CDs pushing out vinyl.

If you go back far enough, you'll find complaints from some record critics that the long-playing vinyl records that came out in 1948 didn't sound as natural as the shellac 78s that preceded them in the market.
