I'm not amazed that you think it doesn't. ;-)
Vinyl, at the top of its game, along with tape at the top of its game, trump digital sound reproduction. While I market some very fine digital playback gear, it's always a relief to me, as well as countless show attendees when we fire up the vinyl. I've just gotten into R-R tape for the first time in about 50 years, (curse you, Doc B! ;-), and I'm currently buying about 10 classical tapes for every 5 LP's for every 2-3 CD's. The tape library has a lot of catching up to do, of course. I'm also having a grand time recording live classical music on tape which stomps the A-D I can get my hands on (for the moment. Sadly, my Otari 5050 does things to my back that a laptop will never do.)
I've been saying for years that I'll take 2 channels of excellence over 5+1 channels of mediocrity any day, and have heard nothing to make me stop saying it yet. Perhaps something lurking in Denver will change my mind this week, but I doubt it.
I can't be specific for fear of trying the Bored's patience, but you are under no such constraints. For chuckles, what, specifically, would you include in this system? (Please choose things where you are not the only perrson has ever heard - that is to say, ship your Franken-AR's. ;-)
Keep your ears and your mind open.
