I love vinyl. The cracks and pops are great and add character to a lot of songs. Also it seems like a lot of older music was specifically mastered for vinyl and sounds deeper and richer than if you listened to it on Flac or some other lossless media file.

Also the FFXIV soundtracks are preformed by symphonies for the most part and are mastered in the same way as all those old albums. You can listen to the songs in game or lossless quality digital copies and they don't sound nearly as good as they do on vinyl.
