I'll refer you back to the photo. Every time it plays, it is different. Highs and lows (surface features), get smoothed by the needle, corners get knocked off, and gradually the sound degrades (not so gradually, by the way). On a level of the magnification of the photo, it is plain to see that sound reproduction is going to be poor. Electronics can only stifle the hiss, and pop, and scratchy sounds of a needle abrading the groove smoother, which further muddies the sound. Records were made from tapes, through a analog mixer, hand mixed by an engineer who did it mostly by ear (and had been doing it for years, which meant his hearing was degrading as he got more and more skilled), Then came Digital tape recording, then direct to digital, with a digital readout, so that sound could be visually corrected, limited only by how many channels you divided up the spectrum. Digital recording CAN produce the most fidelity of all mediums of reproduced music or sound in general, depending on how it is mixed. What so called "audiophiles" (read that as "vinyl cave people") decry is missing tonal variances, and that is usually up to the engineer. He can capture it all, and it can be reproduced pretty well, provided the mixing board is high enough quality. One of my brothers was a tech at Bose, and the rest have been in the music industry and performers for decades. So, yeah, I know what I am talking about.
Incidentally, you are correct. Vinyl cannot be matched by anything else, It is the worst possible method of sound reproduction and no beeter than a Victrola, until you attach a bunch of high end electronics to it. Nothing else is as bad.
Mom needs to teach her how to customize the rims.
I really wonder if this transgender thing really, really has gone too far.

You are correct on only one point, vinyl does degrade and needs to be replaced over time, but you appear to be a typical liberal know it all who thinks he knows everything and is unable to learn. Most likely from Headupass Reflex Syndrome.
Sound quality produced by vinyl records with proper equipment is FAR superior to EVERY other technology and digital does not even come close. You would not know that because you are too stubborn to actual listen to a proper system.
NO, YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
This is where I purchased my last system which probably cost more than your car: https://www.goodwinshighend.com/ Why don't you explain to them how bad vinyl is.
He was on Everest in ‘96 when the first big Everest Disaster happened.
He died a few years later when some trad climbing pro failed.
I remember it was a 5.12 route.
Washington state if I remember.
He also once cross country skied to the North Pole and back solo.
Was stalked by a polar bear during the trip and shot it
I was a fan of his adventuring in my younger days.
Still think he was a badass
If it was a black bear he would have been RACIST!
Definitely a bad ass. 5.12 is wicked hard, I managed to climb a 5.11c/d once...it was dry, so probably the lighter end at 5.11c.
What was the camel's name?

Camel was "Norton" AKA "Snorting Norton"

If you can hear the subtle differences and have $20K to spend, then vinyl is the was to go. If you can't hear them, why spend the $$$$?
Do your own home work. I have a tube CD, a tube dvd/ bluray player, and an old Elite laser disc player.
No more washing vinyl, sold the turntable and the granite base, and all the goodies, just selling the 2000 LP's I still have at the highest price points.
Audiophile quality CD's are becoming scarce, but I have about 3 years worth of recordings.

Hey man, opinions differ on this and if you want to argue, start your own thread.
