About Us
Vinyl Vault Australia has upgraded!
From the 14 February 2026 www.vinylvault.au is being delivered with new software. There was nothing wrong with the old software, we just had to move with the times. The new software uses more recent technology and is easier to update and keep secure.
If you opened your account with Vinyl Vault Australia before 14 February 2026, you will need to sign up with a new account in order to make purchases. You can still log in with your old details and see your purchase history on the old site.
Why Vinyl?
For those in pursuit of high fidelity, vinyl continues to be a popular medium. Unfortunately, records are prone to wear, dust, static, variable quality of pressings and you need a good turntable and pick-up, which costs a lot of money.
Compact Discs (CDs) were to be the media that replaced vinyl records. And, indeed, they are more compact, convenient, durable and consistent. Most people seem very happy with the sound of CDs and they derive a lot of pleasure listing to them.
Its not that digital is bad. Some audiophiles back-up their cherished vinyl using High Resolution Digital Audio which is much better quality than CD. Ironically, nearly all vinyl records on the market today are derived from digital sources.
Apart from the technical babble, people also like vinyl records because:
- For some, the notion of the analogue sound having been physically pressed into the disc gives a sense of tangibility to the musical work.
- That the technology works as well as it does, lends more than a bit of "magic" to the listening experience.
- The care in handling, playing and cleaning of records necessitates a degree of involvement on the part of the listener.
- Then there is the emotional connection. There will be very few people who grew up in the later half of the twentieth century for whom music played on vinyl records did not have an important role in their life.
- Also, album covers, inserts and other embellishments are often works of art and full of information that is a great accompaniment to the music.
All-in-all, I think that listening to records is an entirely different experience to listening to digital media. It's an event.
