Its a perquisite for us old dudes to cherish our "vintage" systems. I remember my granddad standing in the driveway, drinking a Ballantine beer, polishing the 6-ft. long hood of his '51 Pontiac Starlight-Eight. I got it; I have the analogous hi-fi and feel the same abiding satisfaction. Both performed beautifully every day, but God-- I wish I had that car!

I *get* this tactile experience of vinyl playback. I have the same Karajan/Geiseking Grieg Concerto LP released in 1951 in above pix. It's almost like holding a history in my hand 65 years later.
This, I think, is the main reason, more so than the sound itself, of recent vinyl resurgence amongst millennials. You do not get this special bond from playing files off iPad or laptop.
Agreed, it's like a slice of 1951
