I think the general preference for vinyl comes from a preference of

analog vs. digital, rather than liking actual vinyl.  Some people prefer

analog so strongly over digital that this preference even holds up in

spite of the limitations of vinyl pressings.
If the end result sounded anything like the 1/2 track 30ips master, we

wouldn't even have this discussion.
