Vinyl is one way that I choose to listen to music. I also listen to CDs, streaming services, and, yes, even tapes. I can listen to whatever I want on a streaming service but there’s something to be said for finding an album in my collection, being able to feel the album cover in my hands, opening the gatefold cover, dropping the needle on the record and playing side one then side two (the way the artist intended). It’s not “nostalgia” it’s a complete experience of listening. I’m not knocking the other methods of listening.

playing vinyl is like driving a dodge charger from 1970, it was cool in the 70's and cool now. digital is as fun as a rental electric scooter, it is convenient, will get you where you need to go, and you don't feel bad just leaving it anywhere, but it isn't cool. 'oh wow what a beautiful and impressive collection of digital files' said no one ever.

The one and only reason why I started collecting vinyl records back in 2003 was because of the damn LOUDNESS WAR in the mastering of compact discs !!
And even 20 (!) years later, this damn LOUDNESS WAR is still not over.....
If compact discs would be mastered as they were from '83-'86 I would have never ever bought a single vinyl record....
And you know why a vinyl record can't clip (just google audio clipping...) ???
Because if they would master vinyl records as loud as they do with compact discs the needle would always jump out of the groove !!

I tend to listen exclusively to vinyl these days. It has nothing to do with nostalgia, hipster cred, cover art, or colored records. I prefer vinyl (If it's an AAA all-analog recording) to digital because it sounds better. I had a $7000 SACD player. I had an Aurender server with lossless files. They never measured up to their vinyl counterparts. These days CDs and digital files can sound "good", but compared to vinyl on a revealing system (unfortunately, that usually means expensive) there is no comparison. There is an organic (NOT "WARM"!) , involving sound with records that the digital medium can't match. I will listen to artists on digital that have never recorded on vinyl and they are "OK-good", not horrible as in the first days of CDs. It's not a tribal thing or an intellectual thing, it's just that my body feels an analog recording in a way that it doesn't respond to digital. To me, digital can be glassy, hard, and uninvolving for the most part. Michael Fremer just gave a "10" sound rating to the latest Costello/Bacharach record and it was an ADA recording, so I am open to digital being part of the production chain. Who knows what the future will bring? But for now nothing gets my foot tapping and my body swaying like analog.
