It is a fashion thing (my 20 year old son collects vinyl now because he deems CDs uncool) no doubt, also nostalgia and, frankly, vinyl does feel more organic than those cold lifeless silver discs. But I haven't heard a convincing statement yet that vinyl delivers bass frequencies better than a CD and to me that is a key point when listening to music. Plus the longevity, I have 25 year old CDs that have been played countless times, have become discolored over time, yet they still work. When I still had my vinyl collection, I tried everything on the planet to treat my records gently, but stuff that got played a lot still needed to be rebought after a few years. That said, now I buy remasters and remixes of the same stuff again and again, so nothing much has changed!
