Agreed. I have a Denon that plays almost all formats for that reason; coupled with a clean and clear preamp, the sound is quite smooth. The high-end versions of Pet Sounds are amazing.
I still have my old vinyl, but:
My entire analog system was stolen.
CDs are much smaller, and more stable.
Many obscure albums from post-80s are not available on vinyl.
I am a semi-professional musician. None - not one - of my many ensemble performances are available on vinyl. Some of those concerts were memorable, and I have them on CD.
