Does anybody bother with these?

Why?

I go for lossless if I can get it but avoid the vinyl rips as the file sizes are double the CD rips.

Then I realised I was missing the Abba discography from my collection but when I went to get it the only discogs available were vinyl rips.

So I grabbed one now I am listening and it sounds gorgeous. It has a strange creamy texture and if I close my eyes can feel the disk spinning and the needle threading its way through the groove.

Is this in my imagination or do vinyl rips actually sound better?

I would have to download the Abba discog in CD lossless and then do the Pepsi challenge blindfold for a truly scientific analysis but there is no CD lossless available for the swedish supergroup



How young does Agnetha look in this???!
