-For me, two main reasons, none of which relate to the perceived superiority of the vinyl format -
a) In recent years, it has been a trend that the vinyl masters suffer from less compression than their digital counterparts. Hence, they may sound better, despite the inherent limitations of the physical format.
b) I note that the mere act of putting a record on the turntable makes me eager to listen more carefully than if I just find the same music on Spotify; this is just a lack of self discipline, but after all - if going through the ritual of readying a record for play is what it takes to listen attentively, then so be it.
