The main thing that's stopping vinyl from making a comeback is the lack of affordable quality turntables. I got very lucky by selecting mine. It was only because I asked my coworker about it and he suggested Technics. I looked them up and found the one I'm using now.

I'm very happy with it.
When vinyl was going strong I'll bet we had hundreds of choices that were all pretty good as well as hundreds that were low quality.
