Let me start by stating that I fully understand and acknowledge that vinyl is a deeply flawed and inaccurate medium. In all objective senses it is vastly inferior to CD. I long ago gave up using vinyl for day-to-day listening (although I still transfer LPs to digital as a hobby).
And yet... back in the late 1980s my listening was a mixture of CD and vinyl. I clearly recall that in any given session, once I ever put on an LP, I never wanted to listen to a CD again that evening - the remainder of the session was exclusively vinyl. Bear in mind that this was in the days before CDs were routinely trashed with hypercompression, so that wouldn't account for it. Even now, when a needle-drop gets played over the Transporter it somehow grabs my attention that many CD sourced files don't. There has to be something euphonic about the shortcomings of vinyl.
