I used to feel the same way about lps, now I feel that way about cds. Bad lps are usually the result of poor quality vinyl or pressing, things which can in principle be fixed. Bad cd's are usually the result of re-mastering from an analogue source, which never seems to yield a good result. There simply doesn't seem to be any good fix for this. So if you want to listen to things originally recorded in analogue go analogue, and things recorded in digital go digital. I'll take the former set of recordings any day of the week. I'm not worried about wearing out my records. I own more than three. Wearing out my jico sas, and the cost of replacing it: now that is a real issue. But am i going back to a stock sure stylus? No way in hell. I guess the fact that I never pay more than two dollars for a record and average less than a dollar is a major consolation. For me lps are a piece of history, and I love rescuing pristine copies from the trash. The fact that you can just burn a new cd when you scratch it makes them seem disposable. They simply have no collector/investment value. Most analogue master tapes are missing or seriously degraded. This makes originals lps something like an original Rodin. Not one of a kind, but someday it might be.
