Why do you listen to records?

This not about preference for sound quality, both formats are simply great. I virtually never play vinyl for past few years, I don't want to put up with having to listen to an entire album these days, very rare that all tracks are worth my limited listening time. Streams  and cd rips allow virtually unlimited listening modes with my very large library. I can listen to entire albums, pick and choose particular cuts, or I can let the bot  choose random cuts, and this from chosen genres or entire library.

LP often have better mastering, less compression since they are targeted to audiophiles as opposed to CDs and streaming targeted to crappy car systems and cheap headphones. Also, where do you find the original, pre "Digitally remastered 2015" version?

I have never heard a digital setup which could compete with my analog rig. This also is the case with many rooms at the shows. Truly the only legitimate reason to put yourself through the rigors of records is the sound. Certainly, for me, nostalgia has nothing to do with it. 

I'd hate to think you frown/sulk a bit too much when you hear anything that goes against your vinyl belief system. Perhaps,  it makes you loose your people skills a lot, when that happens?

I'd hate to think you fall in the fanaticism category. It's good to hear if you didn't.

That's good to hear.

I'd hate to think you went round offending people.

One compelling reason for listening to vinyl records is that so much great music from the pre-digital era exists in that form and attempts to present it in digital formats have not been universally successful. This is not necessarily due to any inherent flaw in digital, but rather the way it has been done in terms of mastering or possibly a deterioration in the original tapes. We have also seen that many attempts to reissue such material on vinyl have also failed sound quality wise.
