I think in general the larger percentage of those who say "I love vinyl" are younger people just discovering it. They don't remember when all we had was vinyl, and by Christ was it a godsend when CDs came along! I'd never go back. Stylii, big paper sleeves, handling the record by the edges, blowing off the dust, hoping the album didn't skip? Nah thanks: done my time with that ****. Give me digital now and forever.
Also, people who say "vinyl sounds warmer" should be strung up from the nearest lamp post. You haven't a ****ing clue what you're talking about. Vinyl skipped, warped, hissed and popped, and you could get a max of maybe five tracks per side. Oh yeah, and you had to flip the album over. Nor could you take it with you when you went out.
