It’s aesthetically pleasing and the analog distortion sounds “warm,” but vinyl is not technically a better sounding format.
This all comes down to preferences for masters more than format. For a looong time, vinyl was the only way to hear, say, the Beatles in mono. CD/digital era has come a long way in even the past fifteen years in terms of getting the superior masters out there, but for a long time hunting down old vinyl was key to hearing the best version of a record.
My main goal is for music cause me to have an emotion. Luckily, a transistor radio can accomplish this.
