CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl

Vinyl destroys itself every time you play it.  That's why "in the day", enthusiasts would put the 2nd or 3rd needle drop on reel-to-reel and listen to that while keeping the source material carefully filed away in the plain view 'collection'.

Not as much as you might think. Vinyl will eventually lose sound quality after dozens of plays. In the hands of a person who cleans their records, handles them properly, cleans their stylus and uses a line contact or Shibata stylus profile, vinyl lasts a hundred or more plays. 

Having said that, I do plan to archive my collection to 4xDSD as soon as a reasonable solution becomes available. 

If we could have master tape dubs we wouldn't bother with either.
Given good recordings, in terms of sound naturalness even $500 turntable set-up will sound better than any digital, though.
This subject keeps coming as if there was anything unclear. There is no debate, only poor hearing in some cases and commercial interests.

Dream on sleepy head. Every time you play that vinyl you are wearing it out and you won't be able to source replacements of equal quality or possibly of any quality. Plus, your needle is wearing out and will need replacing. Meanwhile, my CD or digital file is capable of reproducing its original quality, time after time. Yes, I understand that the CD may well become unplayable too but the backed-up FLAC copy of it will never degrade or disappear and in fact will sound better and better (up to a point) as DAC quality gets better and better.
