You are correct. Vinyl sounds alive and breathes unlike CD’s that sound too sterile.
I’ve got a great turntable and still collect vinyl. In fact, of my entire system, the newest part is the turntable from maybe 1979 and the latest cartridge though. The amps and preamps are from the 50’s. Long live tubes and vinyl.
The biggest loss with vinyl going away is the album art. There used to be some terrific album art (plus some awful stuff) and now it’s gone back to the 50s & early 60s stuff of a portrait that could have been shot with a cell phone camera.
