DAMN! It's about time. (Destiny)

Why does everyone want this on Vinyl? Don’t you want it to sound as good as possible? :-p

I have a few reasons. Album art and audio fidelity mostly. :)

Due to the physical limitations of cut grooves on a vinyl record there's usually a lot less compression applied to the vinyl master as there is to a CD and digital release of the same album. Hence, more dynamic range (contrast between quiet and loud), especially important in classical music. See: the loudness wars.

Go on, enjoy your brickwall limited digital 128k streaming and I'll just be over here sipping scotch listening to all my dynamic ranges in pure analog style. Open the horizons of your eeeaaars bro.
