Vinyl sounds better (shots fired)

I think that sampling can miss some subtle cords, tones, and rhythms because you’re pixelating a sound wave. They can approximate a wave, but you can’t quite match it. I’m not saying that digital can’t sound good. Yes, the mix is different which matters. But personally, pure analog on a quality turntable with good accompanying components just feels richer in a side by side comparison. In full candor, most of my vinyl is pre 1980 because recordings were mostly all analog. I lothe feel. Post 1980, I have CDs or high res downloads 

Large fish rarely achieve such by rising to a poorly cast fly….about the silly subject 

Lew and me.. i suspect are asymptotic about forever

excuse me while i flip the side on Romantic Warrior….

@russ69 - just record it to reel-to-reel and no pops!

It’s a personal preference in my experience.  I started with 45s (how old am I), then LPs, reel-to-reel, 8-track, cassettes, CDs and now I mostly stream.  Still have a couple of cases of my favorite albums.  My wife will get rid of them when I’m gone.  Gave away my turntable.  It was just collecting dust.  I have friends that say they prefer the warmth and detail of vinyl.  I don’t argue.  Whatever floats your boat in this hobby.  Streaming and CDs of my favorite albums from 50 years ago sound better than ever to me now on my best system in my listening room.  I find a good box set as enjoyable as a gatefold album nowadays and I don’t need them for cleaning out sticks and seeds anymore.  Streaming and edibles in 2025.  

I purchase vinyl so I have something tangible to sell during my retirement

years to supplement my fixed income

Try doing that with a high res digital download of your favorite 

album. 
Also a choice few records will be handed
down to my children as well

i have a great analog front end to enjoy 

until the time comes
