High fidelity vinyl "never goes obsolete!"

[WickyWoo]

This is controversial and in a way a silly generalization, but I think that very roughly, the sound of vinyl can be captured or mimicked at least approximately by 24/96 or 24/192 PCM stereo. (Nowadays it's less controversial that 16/44.1 isn't quite up to the task.)

And you dont' get snap crackle pops.

Vinyl is awful don't get me wrong. I don't care how good the potential fidelity is, it wears out and you get at best one play before the crackling starts no matter how much you wash the thing

All my vinyl is either collector's items or for display (awesome art) (same with most of my LDs)
