What I love about Vinyl, compared to everything else, is that it's amazingly low-tech. You can build a playback device out of a sheet of paper and a needle. It won't sound great, but it will work. On the flip side, in order to build a play back device for MP3 or CD from scratch you'll need electricity, massive amounts of highly specialised knowledge and realistically a chip fab. This has no real practical relevance in the modern world, unless you're stranded on an island with nothing but a bunch of Vinyl, but I still like the thought.
