It's one thing to prefer vinyl as your main source.
It's another thing to claim that someone who does not routinely listen to vinyl "has no business writing for an audio magazine," which is what someone wrote on AA about me when I was writing for Stereophile.
Which, as a matter of audio engineering, is rather farcical.
In the past I produced vinyl records. A 2-LP set I was the driving force behind every detail of just sold USED on eBay for $588. To declare that I am unqualified is Balkanized thumb-sucking.
In previous decades, audio people were generalists. Support for generalization has been eroding in the audio media such as magazines and websites; people now self-identify often as headphone listeners, computer audio listeners, turntable listeners, etc., rather than as music listeners.
Personally, I think this happens because it makes it easier to sell "targeted" ads and track the results.
But that's just me.
