Not really a collector here, but I still buy vinyl records from time to time, mostly used ones. It's a rare occasion though. I guess 9 out of 10 purchases nowadays are CD's. Most of my approx. 400 LP's are ones that I bought in my youth.
Digital music, as it is now, is nonsense. One cannot record music, where every single instrument produces an indefinite number of over- and undertones, on a medium that cuts them from the outset into a very limited number of digitalized frequencies. No doubt that a vinyl record as well can not store music in it's entirety, but it delivers far more informations to our ears than a CD. A CD is still the same as in the 80's, at the very beginning of digital technology. No progress at all. MP3 is even a bigger joke.
I understand if someone likes CD's better and modern CD's are mostly mixed in a way that makes them enjoyable (some of you probably know the CD-crap that was sold around 1987, when I bought my first CD-player), but they by far aren't the ideal solution for music-lovers. It's definitely not esoteric to enjoy music on vinyl records.
Cheers!
