I see a lot of discussion here about the vinyl vs digital divide. My only comment is that almost every modern music recording since the mid-80's has been on a digital format. So if you buy vinyl from the modern era, it has likely gone through a A to D process then back again. In other words you aren't actual listening to a true analogue recording and are subject to the quality of that digital process before you ever put the stylus in the groove.
Vinyl for me is the fun of finding old classic recording (read: analogue) and enjoying them for what they are.
