My analogue brain seems to prefer sine-waves over dit-dots.

Yup. Same for me. I get about the same emotional response to vinyl as I do to live music. I seldom get an emotional lift from digital sources.

It sounds mo' better than the other formats out there.

I do not listen to vinyl at all... Dropped format in 1985 when I was young. Now I Am old, and still do not suffer from Ann (Audiophilic Nostalgia Nervosa). Fact is that Am happy as a lark with marvellous music flowing from my silvery ones.

Because of the sweet sound of POPCORN crackling ....................
Only the smell is missing !!!!!!!!

because, I bought a turntable, spent a lot of money and time going out to used events and stores finding awesome vinyl records. Then I had to get a cartridge then another one then another one. Bought a Phono preamp, stylus brush, cleaner and a record washer, plastic covers and sleeves a whole new shelving system to store vinyl....its a wonder I have a wife! (I need to go order some flowers)
