I get the feeling you haven't heard music played on a really good 'table and system before. The specs may not match digital, but the sound can knock your socks off, hardly deserving the label crap

C'mon Alex, you know better than that. The vinyl system is inherently limited. You cannot get much better than 60 DB of dynamic range while CD gives you better than 90. Same with signal to noise ratio. Hell. MP3 at 256 KB/S gives you better specs than you can possibly get from vinyl records - without the inevitable degradation caused by a diamond stylus biting into soft vinyl at a pressure density of several tons/square inch.

Vinyl works but it's inferior to what we have available - vastly inferior. So what's the point?

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
