What's new in vinyl?

Hi all. I used to post here about 10 years ago. I got out of the audio hobby due to a lifestyle change (sobriety). I still have my vinyl collection. I had an all tube system. I have recently found that my home theater system sounds very impressive with my Vandersteen 2CE speakers. I started streaming with Spotify and was very surprised at the sound quality. I recently upgraded to B&W 702 speakers and am very happy with the sound. I have a Zyx Yatra that still sounds very good. But the gap from digital to vinyl has disappeared. Streaming is very impressive.

How do you all feel about digital vs vinyl these days?

What level TT amd catridge beat digital these days?

I find that with a micro ridge stylus VTA is kind of a hastle due to every record being different. What catridge today nulifies that issue?
