That seems to be more about the actual music than the method of delivery. It may be true a lot of the time, but I think it says more about someones music taste than the format.

Of course, there are reasons to listen to vinyl beyond "more work", that was bad wording on my part. The point I was trying to make there was the myth that vinyl was of a higher measurable quality than other formats.

Raw measurable quality isn't everything, thats certainly not my point, but there will be those that believe the myth and use it to inflate their ego. No doubt people do this with FLAC as well, and thats no better, but at least its true to some degree.
