We bought an old FM radio - a beautiful NAD [0] from the 80s for $40, as it happens - because we like having music on in the background and the iPad/wireless combo just isn’t anywhere near as good as “the wireless”.

You know what the NAD has never done? Just stopped playing for no reason. Stopped playing because someone called. Stopped playing because a video played on a website. Stopped playing because the battery ran out. Stopped playing because my wifi did whatever. And so on, so forth.

We listen to vinyl for the same reason.

Agree with your points entirely, except, you can't even get a whole album play through on vinyl without interaction.. modern information density is much improved.

HD vinyl [0] should be interesting, if just for that reason alone. Old tech, modern twist.
