My parents moved to a smaller place last year, and as I result I ended up with their turntable. I have all of my mom's Jethro Tull albums, which I'd been listening to on cassette, CDs, and MP3s as the years went by. When I got home and set up the turntable, it might as well have been a Delorean. It brought back memories and details from 30 years ago that I never would have remembered otherwise. And, of course, it sounds "right" to my ear.
So I can definitely appreciate why vinyl snobs feel the way they do. However, I don't feel the same about other albums that I have. They don't have the same contrast and context for me as those British prog rock weirdos.
