Vinyl sounds shit. It reintroduces all the issues digital audio solved decades ago. I have heard vinyl rips made with equipment that costs as much as a new bmw and it has constant and frequent quality issues like static. It also has to downgrade audio sometimes to prevent the needle from physically flying out. It is impossible for vinyl to sound as good as the digital master or flac version of it that it was made from. It WILL always sound worse even thanks to the fact that physical world is very flawed and imprecise.
People arguing otherwise are either deaf or need to look in the mirror and accept the fact that they enjoy vinyl for the experience not the sound quality.
Meh, the under lying extra noise is what those people are looking for and not the purity of the sound. Which supposedly ties back to the inherent sound of live music which isn’t cleaned up digitally.
It’s all potatoes no matter which kind of audiophile a person is.
Yeah the sound and the experience of the hassle is what makes vinyl worth experiencing but there is a large portion who claim vinyl sounds the highest quality.

Totally. And I’m happy to acknowledge the former, while I laugh at the latter.
