Vinyl rules forever!
It was the original format for many of us, and it sounds great, even today. It might not be as accurate as digital, but it often sounds better than digital.
The nice thing about digital is that it's relatively inexpensive compared to all the other formats. You can buy an accurate digital recorder for under a thousand dollars. You sure can't buy a cutting lathe for that kind of money. Furthermore, the entire vinyl process is very complicated and very expensive.
It's easy to prove the accuracy of digital by making a digital recording of a vinyl record. It comes out sounding extremely similar to the vinyl LP, much more so than a vinyl copy of a digital recording. The problem is that most of us don't have the capability to make a vinyl copy of anything due to the complexity and expense of the vinyl recording process.
Some years ago, Peter Ledermann of Soundsmith used to make playable lacquer masters of live music. I head one of these and it sounded spectacular--better than any vinyl record I'd ever heard. I often though it would be interesting if a digital recording were made from the playable master lacquer. I wish I could have done that because I think it would have resulted in a digital master that vinyl enthusiasts would approve of.
Anyway, it was a nice thought!

I like Marmite on toast; not so much on vinyl.
ask people where would we be without the progression in Vinyl quality over the last 70 years.
Don't forget to ask Sax and Grundman.
Progress lead to great digital.
