In my opinion the whole vinyl resurgence was just another passing fad. For most people vinyl was desirable only because of the hype that is was cool in a vague sort of retro style sense. While vinyl has always had some die hard fans that believe it to be the superior sonic format the truth is that digital has significantly better potential dynamic range and in theory has infinite durability. Records collect dust, get scratched, get warped and eventually degrade just from the stylus dragging through the groove. The only advantage I see is the larger package provides a larger canvas for album art.

to be the same as analogue.

I’ll take what already is.
