> Reducing music, listening and being an audiophile to numbers and formulae is great disservice to all. One may not like or prefer vinyl, this is OK, but calling it a gimmick, ah no. Well it’s objectively a gimmick. You get poor quality and sometimes a better mastering which you could and should have on the digital file anyway. At this point what vinyl has for it is the “joy” of moving a large disc of plastic and a player arm. You are selling the format by the one minute of theatric at the beginning of a listening session. At this point, I’m personally convinced from what I have seen that most of the people who listen to vinyl do it for the snobbish pleasure of being vinyl listeners.
