sheffielder68 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Hi all. I am new to this forum. I am currently researching my dissertation on the future of the vinyl record industry and would like a little help from the members of Vinyl Collective to help me out with a few questions on a survey, which will take around 5-10 minutes. I ask about the impact of Record Store Day, listening habits, whether you are vinyl exclusive or also use digital music and why you think vinyl is better. The link is below: https://www.esurveycreator.co.uk/s/e1690d3 Thank you in advance, I really appreciate any help I get on this.

monsterrod Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Ahhhh a survey. It's been a while. EDIT: I completed the survey. That was quite labor intensive. Lots of writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aarondltd Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 What is the prize? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffielder68 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 No prize. Just kudos. And that nice warm feeling of helping out a fellow human being! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cemeterytapes Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Completed. I wish there was an option to not answer some questions as the "where do you think the vinyl industry will be in ten year's time," is not something I feel like I have an opinion on or a place to say anything about.

aarondltd Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Well I was bored enough to give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Done. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffielder68 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Thank you all. Understand your point Shadowkid33. Just interested to hear your views. Mine is that it will continue to up and down but there will always be a very strong following - but interesting to see which way pricing goes for LPs as digital gets cheaper and cheaper.

Yeah it is funny how CDs used to be $20, now they cost nothing and that is a "cheap" record. I don't have this name for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffielder68 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 For bands I like, I get CDs. For all others I download. But I live in a small flat in London so when we move, and hopefully do soon to a bigger place, I can't wait to get into vinyl. Storage is a big issue for me. Excited to be a late bloomer on the vinyl train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I did the survey, where is MY thank you? Did I do it wrong? I have no kudos. I have no warm feeling. I feel empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffielder68 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Thank you Monsterrod. You undeniably make the world a brighter place with your presence. Appreciate your efforts and really thank you for the time you took to answer my inane questions! monsterrod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvv Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 that was a fun survey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Dont have the time to fill the survey, but the biggest change I have noticed in the recent years is that people are actually playing their records. If you look the threads here made couple of years ago, no one, not even a single person is talking about the sound quality and the pressing quality. Lately this place has turned into a Steve Hoffman music forum. Its a good thing of course. The downside for a lot of people of course is that they have realized how crappy some of the records sound. Some companies made easy money for years with selling CD-s pressed to vinyl. This rarely happens now. The future? Vinyl will be the main physical format and CD-s will be cheap or free promo items only. Im drunk btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
