Why people still like vinyl.

My theory:

To me the people that love vinyl, love the hiss and noise. And in that hiss and noise, they hear harmonies and resonances that were never in the music in the first place. We all hear ghost intervals and such things anyway, but the noise just amplifies this phenomenon. After all, "noise" is just a combination of ALL frequencies, so whatever your ear wants to hear, it is already "in there."

 Perhaps people that love vinyl are better at filtering out auditory noise and distractions than most people? Maybe they just like the large format art work and cannot hear a thing anyway?
