Me too, but what puzzles me is that instead of *demanding* that people

bigots ever seem to want to know why anyone might *prefer* to play
vinyl?

There's a very good reason why people collect LP records. They are
very inexpensive, usually about two bucks apiece, and there's a wide
variety of music on LP that isn't available on CD. Those are valid
reasons to prefer vinyl over CD.


Certainly some of the valid reasons - other valid reasons are actually
preferring to listen to them and handling them....



When it comes to sound quality, both CD and LP are capable of
reproducing high fidelity sound. Whether or not they actually do
that depends on the mastering and manufacturing.


Yep, I suppose....



The CD format is definitely more convenient for storage and handling
than LPs.


Nope, try carrying a dozen of each (in turn) for any distance (assuming
jewel cases)....
