Why don't people just buy cd's and download music? I can understand wanting a hard copy of the music, but surely in todays world a CD is far better. It just seems that people who collect records are people who want to look unique by being "retro"..
well they sound different due to the nature of the formats, and audiophiles are ones who notice the difference

some vinyls have songs not on their cd counterparts, or have different versions or mixes, and that's an incentive to buy them
you could rip vinyl but then some quality is sacrificed
