Yes, because some (IMHO) snobistic people think that the LP sounds better than a well-mastered (important!) CD, despite all the evidence against it. The only thing I hear when listening to an LP (I've digitezed some, on a high-end turntable) is a lot off hiss, pops and crackles that need to be removed. And yes, these LP's and the turntable are clean and as dust-free as possible.
This is the same as people that keep claiming that a 1400 page book is easier to read in paper than it is on an e-reader, even though the e-reader is smaller, thinner, lighter and therefore easier to carry and to hold for longer periods of time.
