I ask these questions simply because I don't know you, and you don't know me, and neither of us knows the assumptions and biases the other is starting from, so this is my attempt to understand those details.
And somewhat apropos of the discussion, here's a quote from Neil Gader during an interview a couple of years ago:
The technology, while changing, has not, I think, changed all that much in the last couple of years. His last sentence is though, I think, the most telling:
Full interview starts on page 10 of this document: media.avguide.com/vinyl_buyers_guide_2011.pdf
I point to this mainly because I can't find anything to disagree with in the interview. But as with most anything related to audio, it's simply a set of opinions.

Good read, thank you for the referenced article.
There is money to be had in vinyl and tape, lots.
There is a very solid benefit to the "Album" - artistic and the performance.
For most we just choose the
"blue pill."
