And that little split-second shot always cracks me up, if only because of how poorly Kubrick's prediction for future technology held up (well, that and Karajan's 1963 performance is WAY superior to Fricsay.) I didn't mean to sound like a snob; vinyl is a flawed format fidelity-wise, but I can see that those flaws are actually part of vinyl's appeal.

You don't sound like a snob to me.   I love my hard-copy albums, I know it is kinda dumb, but so is everything, we gotta pick what we love.  I liked a Clockwork Orange, I have only seen it once, never read it, and for that I am sorry.  I like Transmetropolitan, I've read it a million times, I like Parquet Courts' "Wide Awake," I like Zappa's Waka Jawaka and Hot Rats, I like Belle & Sebastian's The Life Pursuit, I like The Tanks Epic Loads, I like Carseat Headrest, Akron/Family, The Pixies, Chuck Mangione,…  I was once asked, "if you were going to die, launched into space, and you got to listen to one record, the death needle puts you out as soon as the record ends, what would it be?"  I answered "Yo La Tengo, I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One."  A couple people there relaxed and said "that's the right answer" but it's just an answer from a dude.  I don't know if it was correct for me to lock that down.  I'm a full-on nihilist, but I feel a little more present with this hard-copy (vinyl) version of what I appreciate.
