Vinyl has its own lovely forward ambiance, as if the musicians were in the same room with you. You can hear the subtle sounds of bow sliding across reeds, for instance. And there's much more room for art on the covers, and lyrics on the innards. Vinyl records are decorative and aurally aesthetic. Vinyl rules.
