Not that humorous, but it does remind me of some vinyl snobs who post often online. I still think
the biggest appeals of LP records are the physical artifact as a collectable item, the focus of
attention required for proper playback, which probably does lead to closer listening and
concentration for some people, and the fact that many CDs are poorly mastered and almost all lossy
downloads sound lousy to people who listen on half-decent playback systems (including any decent
earbuds or headphones and halfway decent computer speakers). If CDs were better mastered and if
lossy downloads went the way of the dinosaurs, the vinyl niche might compact and concentrate a
little bit, but the compelling physical artifact is a real draw and may be a key factor in the
niche-market's size.
