I own a lot of vinyl and prefer the sound. Man do I love to sit on the couch and listen to Aja on the turntable. It is much "warmer" to me.

A few years ago I went to a high end audiophile store to get a new needle and a guy with white hair and a long pony tail came to help me. I told him I preferred vinyl and he proceeded to give me a 45 minute lecture that went something like this:

Of course you do! CDs are crap! Digital is crap!! Vinyl has 100 times more sonic information than a CD!!!! Why do you think they call it compact!! Because they compact it! In a musical garbage compactor!!

And so on.

45 minutes later I said thanks and walked out with my needle.

Not sure how much of that was actually scientific but that's what he said.
