I’m no audiophile, but there is a difference in sound. To me it’s not enough to invest in the type of equipment that maximizes that difference, but it’s still there
Plus turntables have become another niche technological LEGO set, to customize and improve until the hole in your chest is filled
From what I understand, vinyl records are often mastered differently than digital recordings, and they do have a bit of a different sound overall due to their mechanical nature (like how different headphones can produce vastly different results.) So vinyl could very well be actually better depending on the mix, and depending on the preferences of the person listening.
Eeehhh, I don’t think worse is the right word. Less fidelity, yeah, but the sound is… warmer? I dunno, like I said, I’m not an audiophile, but I know our ears are analogue and all the things in nature that make me feel good have curves
I don’t understand why people want to listen to vinyl records vs. digital
Purely ideological at this point.
I want to own my media, CDs aren’t being produced anymore, vinyls are resurfacing.
As someone who listens to both: because they’re fun

Yeah, there is: vinyl is objectively worse.
