With all of the "defects" that are trumpeted by the digital proponents. dynamics from LP can knock you off the couch and the overall engagement is uncanny and enough to force you to strongly prefer vinyl playback.
I recognize the areas of digital that endear one to its sound like the complete lack of wow and flutter. One comparison can open your ears about digital vs analog. play the CD of Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms and then the standard issue on vinyl. that LP simply blows the doors off the CD which completely stymied me when that was my very first CD which I played on a VVG-sounding Magnavox CDP that I bought at Target for $140.
a month later I bought the LP (a cut-out for $1 !) which, when I played it made me completely re-evaluate my understanding of the digital vs analog controversy that was developing. BIA is a digital original recording, mastered to LP for the mass market. It STILL baffles me and many others about how this is possible.
I can understand the preference for the convenience of digital and wonder why you can play the same recording, even with several different phono cartridges, yet they all sound right and are preferable sonically to the digital rendering, whether they are natively analog OR digital.
I also must say that this is my opinion.
