I understand your perspective.
Mine is based on my own comparisons. It's not like I'm unfamiliar with good digital sound. I'm working in digital high quality sound all day long. And I stream my ripped lossless CDs and Tidal to my Benchmark DAC2L when listening to digital music on my system. So I'm essentially comparing digital vs my vinyl constantly. That's where my impressions come from. Excellent sounding LPs don't just come from the past - I have many gorgeous sounding newly minted LPs of new music too. Even when I have the digital version I still often end up preferring the vinyl version. For instance I have the vinyl 45 of a Disclosure single that came out last year (they have great sound!). I've compared it to the digital version and while the digital sounds tremendous, I slightly prefer the vinyl because, at least on my system, it sounds a bit more "solid" and palpable. All the little flourishes - the hand claps, drum machines, little wood block/rim hits, keyboard stuff sound a bit more like physical instruments popping in and out of the recorded space. And that turns my crank
. I'm willing to forgive some of vinyl's other sins to enjoy it.
