We are just about to pension off the vinyl collection at one of the radio stations I service, it hasn't been used for years. Most recordings are in pretty poor condition but I might put my hand up for the transcription turntable :-) The transition from vinyl to present day tech in radio basically followed this path; vinyl, open reel tape, broadcast cart (like a continuous 8 track cart but only three tracks, L, R & cue), Mini-disc, CD and now virtually all program but the live voice is delivered via computer. Solid state guitar amps don't have the right distortion or enough of it!
