cartridge too (or did you include that in stylus?).
Remember that the original argument was "why release this stuff on vinyl?"
not "which is better?" So, to answer the original question - because most
of the people who release music aren't worried about charting, and think
it's kinda cool to get a slab o' wax. It's a personal preference on the
part of the artist, 8 times out of 10.
Plus, vinyl looks more impressive stacked up :)
So, to rehash the thread for the bajillionth time - *Personal**Preference*
