Im not against the benefits of digital and CD, the problem is that SOUND comes first, if you have to give up the power and the majesty of the true masterpieces in modern music for a pale facimile to get portability, then it aint worth the tradeoff and never will be. I have it all, LP, CD, SACD, MP3, DVD, BD, etc. but I would not want to give up LP because its simply better in most cases, and is incredibly better in some cases. I feel sorry for those who have never experienced the pleasure of truly great music in truly great sound as it was recorded.
continuing my analogy, i love a lot of classic street photography; many of the best shots have technical "flaws" and in some notable cases the printing process was also seemingly haphazard; yet the blur, the grain, the blown highlights often add to the result, and i'm perfectly content with many "imperfect" photos; i'm even happy with old prints i find here and there with scuffs, smudges, scratches, dents and dings; that's one kind of photo i seek out
perfect fidelity is overrated; the recording process always leaves its mark, and those who strive to hide that mark represent only one branch of the fullness of the art form
