Why do you listen to records?

Sneaky sneaky is how he creeps up on us.

Should an OP be impartial posting such a discussion as this can be criticised if not.

Any OP wanting a valid and fair discussion should not take sides. It defeats the objectivity of a question if it appears that sides are being taken. Perhaps even a rebuttal for all those who have posted and offered an opposing view within your discussion.
Just a questionable observation.

That looks like a great system to enjoy your music on. Congratulations.

6 or 7 out of 10 times, I play a record vs a CD. 

Why? Because I am happy with what I hear.

I don't analyze it, just do it.

​ I was merely reporting my experience and posing the question: Why  listen to records?  
This was not a COMMENT, but a QUESTION !

I really want to know why people listen to records,  despite all the inherent problems.

Put like that, your question is loaded. It presupposes that vinyl is inferior. There can be no fair and open discussion if we start with minds already made up and positions taken. 

​​I wouldn’t have participated on that basis. It looks like a wind up.
