Choice of some audiophiles (5)

I believe the answer is:

vinyl

(Other definitions for vinyl that I've seen before include "Flexible plastic for flooring (or old records?)" , "& 24 Across Pre-CD disc" , "Synthetic plastic" , "Synthetic resin" , "Synthetic polymer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
