Most of my listening is classical. IMHO, vinyl is not a good medium for classical. Background noise is too high, dynamic range is too limited, distortion levels are too high. No amount of "yes, but" will change the science behind the measured deltas with the two mediums. Early digital had lots of issues, especially with treble. Digital has made significant advancements over the years. By comparison, vinyl hasn't. For me, the switch to digital years ago was an easy one. No regrets.
As one who owned high end vinyl rigs for years, I get why some people prefer vinyl. It's a similar vibe to tube gear. Some music genres sound great with vinyl. Old time blues, rock, pop have a certain pleasant nostalgia with vinyl. IMHO, classical music is NOT one of the genres that works well with vinyl.
The most important aspect of this madding hobby is to just enjoy music, regardless of source, electronics, or transducers used.
