I was going to say something about a false dichotomy, but you beat me to it.
Discussions about music on vinyl is always interesting to observe.
Collecting artifacts is such a prevalent part of nerd and geek culture that it's no wonder many of us love to collect and play records.
At the same time, many of us are super focused on efficiency and specifications that listening to less than perfect reproductions where you have to physically manipulate the media makes no sense.
I had a lot of records when I was younger and was happy to move on to CDs and now mp3 and streaming. If I had more space to devote to yet another collection, I would in a heartbeat.
