  1. A couple thousand bucks is not chump change. And even if records were maintenance free, you still have to stop every 25 minutes to flip them, have to store them, etc. I'll stick to my recordings on my file server. But you can keep repeating that records have better dynamic range, but just because some music on cd is poorly mastered doesn't mean that the medium is worse.
  2. And any new record has a digital step in between. But even something as simple as pachelbel's canon or the 1812 overture can't be captured accurately on vinyl. Just doesn't work. Even my 20 yr old cd of 1812 has better dynamics than vinyl is capable of capturing.
  3. The flip side is that vinyl can never have the dynamic range that digital can have, even cd. And after just a couple of plays, you start to get clicks and pops that are far more annoying than overcompressed pop music. But I mostly buy cds from the likes of chesky, or I'm buying cds that sound the way they're supposed to sound. And you have to spend a fortune in turntables, cartridges, cleaners, vibration supression, media storage. It's all just not worth it. Listen to live music recorded by friends with good gear digitally.
