I mentioned in another post that the local indie record store (Happy Trails in Corvallis, Oregon) reports vinyl now outselling CDs. I was in there the other day and got to talking with a kid (maybe 16) who was buying some heavy metal albums. I asked him why he was buying vinyl rather than CDs and he said it sounded better. Pressed for details, he explained: "When you crank up a CD it just gets louder. A record sounds, y'know, BIGGER!"
