The return of Vinyl?

It seems like if anything this technology allows for more efficient production methods, which is great. As for the benefits of higher frequency response and amplitude, I'm not too fussed. The beauty of vinyl imo is that it's not perfect, I can get 'perfect' when I want it, with digital.

- I agree, hopefully it will still have a bit of a mono sound and occasional popping to it.dbloc

Holding out for proof. Seems like snake oil.

Sounds like something artists will have to pay more for in pressing costs with very little benefit. Consumers playing these records on some USB shit Numark or their toy of a recorder player from Urban Outfitters won't notice any difference.
It might be beneficial to dance music Djs. The process might subside wear and tear on stylus' and an over played record but i'm pretty sure no one buys electric dance tunes on vinyl, using serato exclusively.
So this is probably a good method of cutting grooves in a serato 12"haha

30% more playing time - (around 55 minutes?) if it's something like 150% the price to press that would be massive for labels. I have so many double albums that come in around 50 min... to think it's doubled the weight and the related costs/ carbon footprint associated with shipping them it can be totally fucking daft.
TBH I've stopped buying anything other than old vinyl and high quality pressings because the general standard of these days is so low. When you can pick up a flimsy as fuck LP from the 80s for £2 and it sounds better than the modern £40 180g reissue... something is seriously fucked in that market... so I welcome this but probably more snake oil.
