Vinyl sounds better (shots fired)

"High quality reproduction from vinyl is vastly more expensive than digital." A TRUE Urban Legend that is 1. bulls**t  2. A great excuse for not trying vinyl some "audiophiles" tell themselves... 

Be careful of playback systems that cost six figures. On youtube, there is a report of a double-blind listening test where audiophiles heard a phono preamp, cartridge, and a turntable costing $500,000 and a preamp, cartridge, and turntable costing $78. 40% of them thought the $78 system sounded better and had to be the $500,000 system. 

Be skeptical of cables costing $20,000.

There is a SET using 833A triodes selling for $480,000 which can be built wit some better parts from less than $2000 in parts purchased retail. 

Just because the price is undreamed of does not mean it will sound better to you. 

My audio system is set up for vinyl (6,000+ LPs). I do have a decent CD player (400 CDs). I have no streaming. 

I listen to streamed music on my cell phone or computer when I’m not in my audio room. 

Kind of lame since it's totally subjective. Vynil introduces a level of distortion that is pleasing to the ears of many, whereas other people prefer otherwise. Shots fired? Ok. That's like saying country music is better than rap. It's just preference, nothing more.
