    I know it’s not highest quality.

    For me, the imperfect sound is what makes a nicer experience. Slight hum, little pop once in a while, teensy skip, etc.

    Not to mention that I’m far more inclined to listen to an entire album because of the need to interact with the vinyl to set the needle and flip sides.

      At the risk of sounding critical of your hobby, to argue the imperfections improve the experience sounds somewhat culty.

      I understand there is something akin to “character” which you don’t get from something highly polished. I know when things sound too clean it can feel sterile.

      I accept vinyl has a collectors value, but anything claims regarding preference come across as either pretentious or deluded (to me, as someone who probably can’t tell the difference).

        I don’t proclaim that vinyl is superior or something everyone should listen to.

        Just trying to convey how I hear it.

        98% of my listening is my MP3 playing from my phone’s Bluetooth.
