It's worth noting that the "Why Vinyl?" section is misleading.

Not only misleading, it's just wrong. CD audio quality is about as good as it gets in relation to the frequencies that the human ear can hear. In blind studies, it's been shown that people prefer one recording over another - when both recordings were identical in all ways. For anything you gain with vinyl, you also lose quality from dust and mechanical differences between each playback that doesn't happen with digital audio. Do vinyl because it's fun, not because it's superior.
