I feel the same way. I have my iPod for the car, but if I'm at home, I would just plain rather listen to a record than my mp3 collection. I'm by no means an audiophile, and my equipment by no means even approaches that caliber of quality; I just like something about it that I can't put my finger on.
That, and liner notes. I need liner notes. Lots of them.
i like the ritual of sitting down and actually listening to my vinyl. i have a lot of stuff on MP3, but if i'm working or driving or something, i don't really listen to them like i listen to my vinyl.
plus, you can't get limited edition colored MP3's. ya just can't.
