Agreed - there are enough people to get passionate about it, so it's not on the chopping board just yet. However, I don't understand why people get quite so defensive. Getting hot under the collar and stressing about "the death of vinyl" isn't going to win anyone over - if anything it just saps any confidence people may have left in the medium. If records are so much better than the alternatives then there's nothing to worry about, is there?
