I get people pining for vinyl and appreciating that warm analogue sound you get from records, but gawd, I hope people don't miss those battery gobbling ghetto blasters, enormous speakers or back breaking console units from yesteryear. Those complicated looking receivers with those gadgety tone shaping buttons, which were basically subtle e.q switches marketed as sonic enhancers.."Loudness" was just a bass boost for example..The manufacturers really targeted that "tweaker" in the consumer.

Oh, man, that's clearly all just a bunch of junk.
But even on a mediocre system, vinyl manages (IMO) to produce a sound that crates the most distinction between frequencies. Basically, I can easily hear more of what's going on, and easily separate out different instruments and tones. The music just sounds fuller and bigger.
