Today's digital recordings are much better than they were 10 years ago. In addition, with FLAC becoming available online (see http://tidalhifi.com/sc), one only needs a good DAC that can take USB transfer from a computer and the rest is essentially history. To me, the price and complexity of a turntable, its artificial "warm" sound, lack of details when there is more than 3 instruments, cracking and popping sounds and lack of good quality vinyls are all sufficient reasons for me to stay away from Vinyl.
In my opinion, the very subjective "soul of the music" argument made by vinyl owners seems to be there so that they can justify to themselves that their exorbitant investment was worth it. If you listen to live instruments, good quality digital is much closer to reality than Vinyl, but then again, maybe reality is not as “Soulful” as vinyls…
