Vinyl Science

First, let me be clear:  I'm no audiophile.  But my boyfriend definitely is.  He tries to spark an interest in the subject in me, but I mostly just want to hear the damn song.

Still, I definitely have a favorite music consumption method, and that method is vinyl.  I'll admit, it has less to do with the audio quality and more to do with the feeling of vinyl (holding the album with giant, beautiful cover art, the mindfulness needed to flip the side b, etc.).  But Captain Audiosnob disagrees.  He thinks it's silly to fuss with vinyl when, in terms of sound, the simpler way does the job better.

But c'mon, is there really that much of a difference either way?

After having having this argument...I mean discussion, a million times, I was pleased to stumble upon this article from NPR (from Talk of the Nation).  Check it out!
