Nothing to debate about really. They are both vastly different  
and offer different experiences.

A friend of mine commented on my sharing the washingtonpost  
article for a few days ago:

"I still have some vinyl records and an expensive turntable  
with a couple of premium cartridges. I meant to pull it out and  
digitize the albums that I don't have on CD or otherwise.  
However I don't miss the surface noise, even on recordings  
without any inevitable scratches; the precision and delicacy  
required to place the needle; the pre-cleaning of the record  
and the wiping of the needle before each play; and, the  
repetitive, annoying, sound made at the end of the album as the  
needle idled near the center waiting to be relieved of its, and  
my, misery. No nostalgia here."
