“Apart from all the other reasons you mentioned, my reason is simple. Original well-recorded analogue records sound better than any reissues. Warts and all, there is a see-through clarity with the originals.”
Agreed. Most of the music I love was recorded and mastered with only vinyl playback in mind. Subsequent CD transfers often - no usually - leave something to be desired.
Furthermore almost all remasters
(ie inappropriately added bass) are usually inferior in dynamics, at least in my experience.
Properly done remasters from impeccable sources with the dynamics left intact are an unfortunate rarity (I suspect deliberately so for marketing purposes).
Love the fluid expressiveness and dynamic range of vinyl
Hate poor pressings though - simply inexcusable
