Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl

I don't like vinyl at all since it distracts me from my purpose of all this effort, which is to listen to music, not tinkering with INFERIOR system to reduce pops and noise.

Budda said to cross the damn river, not to stay in the ship.

What the heck is the point of all these audiophile gear?
The purpose is to REPRODUCE ORIGINAL RECORDING as if you are there in the studio next to musicians EVERY SINGLE TIME.

The very INFERIOR DESIGN of the vinyl system is that it leaves listener to experience different sound/noise with each PLAY, yet my ARTIST clearly tried very hard to ELIMINATE any pops and noise in the ORIGINAL RECORDING unless intended.

Based on 2nd law of Thermodynamics, if you play the same vinyl track 10 times in a row, you will experience different sound every time and every next play you will DEVIATE more from the ORIGINAL RECORDING due to DISORDER (like tiny particles in the air) you add every single time. 

IF YOU LOVE your vinyl because if you like FONDLING and TWEAKING that's your thing. My thing is to simply LISTEN to music close to original recording.

Go learn yourself and be enlightened.

"Neo, you think that's air you're breathing now?"

You may think you know the voice of say Michael Jackson, John Denver or Elvis since you've heard it million times.  Yet, do you think who would know his voice better?  You or his manager who interacted with him on daily basis and who was there at the recording studio.  Now then how do you know what his voice truly like?  You probably first heard his voice through small boombox, Walkman or $50k stereo?  How about when Michael went into his studio to record his very first "Thriller" song, how cheap or expensive or accurate was the microphone?  How about the interconnect cable? Was it a western electric wire or Neumann wire? How about the sound engineer or system, did the sound engineer add or change anything while mixing to slightly change voice? How about when transferring his songs to vinyls, tapes, or cds?  Any slight change might have occurred during transfer process that may have slightly altered voice?  

While many so called audiophiles claim that their ears are better since they spent so much money
and time, etc etc..  You see what they heard is nothing more a copy of truth and what they say is nothing more that their recollection or impression.  You are naive to believe that their recollection of things or something they perceived are to be the truth, yet none of them truly would know how Michael, John or Elvis sound like?  Perhaps they have been to live concerts?  Was the voice coming out of JBL speaker sound more like them or Klipsch speaker?  Was Senheiser mic or Neumann mic that sound more like them.

Buddha realized long ago that what you see and hear are really recollections or interpretations of truth.  I like Steve Guttenberg the Audiophilliac, who once sold hifi audio and have used many gear, I found his review to be helpful. But really who do you think would know the sound of piano better Steve or Piano tuner or Pianist or Piano maker?   

When you are enlightened, when you hear someone claiming digital is thin..this and that..it is only his interpretation and he is no better than any other Joe in recollecting sound or song.  So enlightened ones widely seek audio advice knowing they are not the absolute truth but partial impressions and ultimately they have to DECIDE which is perceived to be close to the truth.
