The sound fidelity of vinyl is measurably inferior to CD-quality digital audio, as the technology introduces various kinds of distortion. Some of these are perceived as “warmth”, and/or bound in with the ritual of playing the record, so some people see it as a plus.
I’ve bought a few records in recent years, though have never actually played them. I bought them for the artwork, and listen to the FLAC files that came with the Bandcamp download code.
