Electronics make a tiny-tiny difference, or no difference at all (in proper blind listening tests). That's assuming you have enough amplifier power and no major defects/problems. The most likely issue with electronics is noise (hum, hiss, or whine in the background). But since the surface noise on records doesn't bother you, it shouldn't be a problem.
Different speakers will ALWAYS make a difference (for better or worse) and different acoustic environments also make a difference.
Technically, vinyl is inferior to digital... The main defect is noise. There is always some noise. For example, digital is silent between tracks, records are not and you can hear the difference if you stop the rotation with the stylus in the groove. Usualy there are some clicks & pops. Sometimes there is audible distortion, and the frequency response is not as flat as digital across the audible range.
Because of the high-amplification, phono preamps tend to be noisier than other electronics, and the high-impedance makes them more prone to noise pick-up. The electrical noise isn't always audible, and once the stylus is on the record the record noise usually drowns-out any electrical noise.
You can digitize vinyl and it will sound identical to the vinyl (again, in a proper blind test).
If you like the sound of vinyl, that's OK. Many people prefer it. If it sounds better to you, you can say it sounds better and no one can argue! Some of the "defects" may be characteristics you like.
And some older records were made before the digital
Loudness War,* and the dynamics may be better than the digital re-master. Or, the record may be a different mix or master or a completely different recording and you may prefer that version. (Most modern vinyl is made from the same digital master as the digital releases, but it's not usually known.)
Note that the process of cutting & playing a record changes the wave shape making some peaks higher and some lower. That can make the dynamics
measure better and some people will claim the vinyl is more dynamic. But, it doesn't affect the sound of the dynamics. ...MP3 compression does similar things to the wave shape and it will usually measure more dynamic than the uncompressed original.
* There was a loudness war in the vinyl days but they didn't have the "advanced digital weapons" that are available today.
