I think the general preference for vinyl comes from a preference of
analog vs. digital, rather than liking actual vinyl.  Some people prefer
analog so strongly over digital that this preference even holds up in
spite of the limitations of vinyl pressings.

If the end result sounded anything like the 1/2 track 30ips master, we
wouldn't even have this discussion.
