....and because harmonic distortion and that can often make it sound much better than an mp3 or AAC....and because physically owning a record is much more satisfying than a file on a hard drive. You don't get many mp3 collectors, after all.

im an mp3 collector, but i also have some vinyl from when i used to collect old school hip hop when i had a belt drive turntable (back in theday) , and in terms of artwork i look at mp3 artwork a lot more then that what is presented on my old vinyl.
it terms of satisfaction, im indiffernet. lugging vinyl around london, would be extremely annoying, but with cds i can virtually bring my entire collection to the party in a satchel. i think the combination of ease and effort, mobility and artwork retained makes mp3 collecting just as enjoyable. a modern equilvent so to speak. and with i tunes now with over 18 million albums there is finally enough choice to explore throughly/... |

As far as I know, unless all the critic elements of a production (mics, synths and mixing desks) operate on analog, your record won't sound better on wax.
Vinyl is not a magical improver of your sound, it just preserves the analog chain if there was one. That said, there are plenty of reasons why listening to 12"s is a whole different experience. formerly (un)known as tipo test. |

As said in the thread-that-must-not-be-named, vinyl makes music sound warmer, not better.

I should perhaps have said "more pleasant", not better.
Nevertheless, vinyl (like tape) does sound very different to digital, and many people do prefer that colouring of the signal. By the way, I don't buy vinyl myself. I just find it odd that people can think a lossy format could be a suitable alternative. |

@Claude I disagree, basically because warmness is a feeling - something that is perceived subjectively hence it can not be measured.
Vinyl has a harmonic distortion ratio of ~2% apparently, which can be described as 'warm' I guess. Digital has not, as long as the sample rate is broad enough. ps - just trying to contribute! formerly (un)known as tipo test. |

I reckon, though, that most people couldn't give two shits about that. |

Although I understand where you're coming from, that train of though pretty much applies to everything second hand...
