I was thinking about investing in a vinyl player recently and was really sad to learn Vinyl is actually worse for audio quality. The standard thickness of the disk is a physical limitation for frequencies which means the sound gets "squished."

Not only that, but all the "better sound" arguments are just about all the mistakes in the audio, like scratches and bumps.

Digital has no mistakes, it will always sound the way it is intended.

But of course some times "the way it is intended" is not the preferable way (see my other comment to OP).

There's Audacity & co. for that.
