You're right of course, and I was being facetious -- yes it's true that CDs were supposed to be better (true copy of the Master, larger dynamic range etc.), but

You're right of course, and I was being facetious -- yes it's true that CDs were supposed to be better (true copy of the Master, larger dynamic range etc.), but alas, no good deed goes unpunished since it didn't take long for Engineers to abuse that extended dynamic range and push louder/compressed mixes to the public resulting in what we refer to as the "Loudness Wars". Add to that the advent of streaming services and compression (MP3 etc) and we now find ourselves with those "clipped to death" digital masters compressed to an inch of their lives so I can listen to Spotify on the bus. So is it any wonder people are going full circle and returning to Vinyl?
