< But as far as giving a sense of ownership and intimacy, vinyl wins

This. I've been a record collector for 20 years, mostly focused on rare Brazilian music - https://www.novedos.com.

I don't DJ anymore so it's primarily a collector thing for me. Aside from the master tapes, an original vinyl copy is as close as you can get to the original recording, which is special. I'm far from an audiophile, so it's not about the sound, it's about the feels.
