Actually, the original poster is correct -- vinyl is the connoisseur's prefered format...but for reasons that most of the people using it don't understand themselves.
I also understand that vinyl is now increasingly (very slowly though) becoming the preferred medium for listening to music.Not according to any resource I can think of. Apple certainly isn't selling portable vinyl players. 100% of the systems I design and install for commercial, house of worship, etc. applications have not used vinyl. I can't think of the last time I pulled out a vinyl record player. Not going to say that some people don't prefer it, and I encourage them to if that is what floats their boat, but the VAST majority of people are using digital for many reasons that were listed by Monty Montgomery.
