Analog baby. I think vinyl is making a resurgence for the same reason some people still use tube amps and record on 2" tape, it sounds just a little warmer. Yeah, you get pops and scratches and they wear out fast, but they have a sound. Some studios still record on 2" 24 track, then import the audio into the box for mix down, it just sounds better when you do that.

Argh! Sorry about that, the web site hiccuped.

Perhaps it is because vinyl has more body to it than digital.
Or simply that when we used to buy a record and take it home and listen to it, thats is what you did.
It was an experience and enjoyable one.
It is one that is lost now digital and the loudness war those listening to mp3s are multitasking.
 
That is the difference, vinyl was an experience you listened, that was it. 
So as a medium it might communicate better than digital.
But I'd say you could make digital communicate as well if one went for sound  quality over loudness.
Vinyl was limited but only to keep the lathe in the groove which meant the low end rolled off alot.
When you hear oldies talking about their record collection and the joy it gave it rubs off and younger audiophiles are picking up on the experience of listening which is the vinyl vibe man.
Groovy too!

My wife read this thread and asked "what is Vinyl".
 
Am I bragging. ha!... Possibly....
 
Cockroaches ate my record collection 15 years ago. At least they were good for something in the end is my lowly opinion..

Sorry about the double post, the forum shows an error when I post and publishes my posts without confirming it.
 
Anyway, here are more reasons: Vinyl sounds better than MP3 and "youtube" streaming, the album covers are larger, and CD errors sound worse than scratches on Vinyl. But Neil Young's 192kHz/24 bit "pono" music player will change all that ...
