Three biggest draws in favour of LPs:
- Analog sound (warm, involving)
- Retro feel & eye candy
- Pride of ownership and user engagement
Three biggest dissuaders against LPs:
- Sonic disturbances (hiss, pops)
- Maintenance & Storage
- Cost
So generally, you are likely to go for LPs if you are ‘older, richer and have more leisure’. And less likely if opposite (with exceptions of course).
Personally I am somewhere between these two profiles, CDs with tube amplification is my optimum.
Warning: Whether LPs or CDs, getting the right album versions and prints makes a huge difference to the listening pleasure.
