...Is it a mainstream interest? No
Is Hi-Fi a mainstream interest? No!
Whenever I visit a record shop, I am always encouraged by the amount of young people flicking through the LP racks. Vinyl won't ever reach the volume of sales that it used to have, but I, for one, am glad that it is still around and I always try to support those shops selling new vinyl whenever I visit a town or city that I haven't been to before.
I buy plenty of CDs (mostly from the pfm record shop) and I buy downloads too when there is no physical release, but for me, nothing will really replace vinyl.
