People think they get better sound quality out of a record than 36 wav files that hold each individual track, but I do think there's something to be said for records and the artists' listening experience. Nowadays everything has to be mixed for phone, surround sound, speaker system, standard car sets, and any decent enough record player will be comparable to what the artist heard when they were recording for record, or any analogue disc. It's not better. It is authentic where that applies though. Tons of bands re-release or put special editions on vinyl but it wasn't recorded for that and doesn't matter in that situation.
