I've been building my current collection. My wife was on the fence with it until I played 'Ride the Lightning' on vinyl for her. Sound quality isn't the same on CD or digital even with powerful compression.
The Wall on CD/digital isn't the same either - there's something lacking in having to flip sides and records for the whole experience.
Operating the record player is half the fun.

I wish I had an actual stereo to play my vinyls on. It's on the list, but lower priority.
The vinyls sound good, don't get me wrong, but played through a JBL Bluetooth speaker it sounds like a CD.
Unless your vinyl was pressed more than 20 years ago it's extremely likely that the sound quality is far less than CD since they press the vinyl from 16-bit 44 kHz digital recordings - the same ones used to press CDs. So you get all the digital limitations with bonus dust pops.
