Why vinyl

Digital is like artificial intelligence, that one day might become better than humans in all measurable ways, but who cares ? It will remain artificial, just an advanced computer or cybernetic organism perhaps.

That's why records and tape, with all their imperfections.

Vinyl has always sounded better to me. There is a clarity to it I can’t describe. High-end analog is just something special. 
 

Digital has gotten better, but still not as good. Better technically, just not in practice. 

Good point.  We humans like records and all the imperfections because it makes us feel better about ourselves perhaps?

Myself though i am more nostalgic about music pieces i used to listened too extensively than to turntable...

I quitted buying vinyl really 45 years ago...I just listened to the one i had without end  ... Mostly Bach, choral music, harpsichord,Moondog, Bob Dylan, Léo Ferré. Joan Baez, Billie Holiday, Blind reverend Gary Davis, and few sitars albums...I listened my only one Rolling Stone album 2 times... I never bought another rock or pop... Then CD came... I explored more classical after Bach and discovered Jazz and Indian-Persian music later ...

Makes us feel better ourselves, basic self-identity.
