When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better?

Of course I know my own story, so I'm more curious about yours. You can be as succinct as two bullets or write a tome.

Each format has its advantages and can surpass the other with a better recording. For a long time digital didn't come close to me, but improvements in the last few years make it much more listenable. I can get great joy from either format. Cheers, Spencer

Vinyl sales are up each year for the last ten years mostly. True, that is from a tiny number, but numbers are good enough that entrants are making more and more tables. B&M retailers that never had vinyl are adding it, and installed base of those with tables is growing every year. Even if/when the fad with hipster posers who don't listen much dies, LPs will continue on for another generation. CDs on the other hand will be totally gone in 5 years. Streaming and digital downloads will just kill it. There will be nothing to miss. Cheers, Spencer
