I don't recommend vinyl to anyone looking for breathtaking sound. I have about as many CD's nowadays as I have records; breathtaking moments populate each species about equally. Those moments arise from great performances, great recording, great mixing and mastering, and overall love of the sound. It's much less due to the flavor of plastic. Heck, half of of my rekkids is below average anyways!
With all my respect to the Original Poster- I think that VA has somehow slipped its focus gradually from folks who regard vinyl as a deep hobby interest to folks who regard it as a groovy urbanite's alternative to digital. Bear resists sweeping generalizations but offers the following sweeping philosophical B.S.(Bear-S*, that is):
The echoes of the horrified reaction on the part of the deep-vinylists to the horrid sound of early CD's/players seems to tickle the fancy of the urbanite faction. That era is largely passed. Through it all, I kept listening to vinyl because I own thousands of records. I kept waiting for digital sound to get better and it has- a win/win!
