Not all are "noisy", Arny. Some of us just like what
some LPs bring to the sonic and musical table.
It's not a matter of just liking. People like many
things that they don't publicly obsess over so
frequently as we see, with that tiny noisy minority who
still bother with LPs.
Again, I'm part of that tiny minority, and I and most
people who like some LPs are not particularly "noisy"
about it, IMO.
This is irony - a claim of no noise in the midst of making noise about a
medium that almost nobody can stand to bother with any more/
Besides, the analog-loving faction shouldn't be touting LP, with all
its foibles and fussiness and generational loss,
when there is now the possibility of high-quality 15ips half-track
reel-to-reel at home

I have some of those. They are jaw droppingly good! I also have many 15ips
masters of major symphony orchestras that I have made. They sound even
better. But I just bought a new stereo microphone from Avantone called the
CK-40

Makes better recordings yet (at 24-bit, 96KHz )!
