Volume levels

I don't experience a need for higher decibels on vinyl than digital. As long as either is played between 70 and 75 db, they sounds equally grand. 

I am in complete agreement here. The best way to enjoy digital sources is to turn the volume down as low as possible.

I'll post my view which is contrary to many others and I recognize that and don't want to start an argument.  but I find the need to turn a system up to hear it perform to be a weakness.  I can listen to my system in the 60dB range and it really pops.  It doesn't have a large sweetspot and in the other room you can tell there is a quality system playing but need to go to the sweet spot to enjoy it.  

People come listen to it and turn it up to the volume they are used to listening at and it takes me a while to get them to listen to it at a lower volume but eventually they tend to appreciate it.  But their ears are trained to a higher volume.

As for the original question, I don't have vinyl.  but many digital remasters really sound great compared to the original and perhaps vinyl can't take advantage of that.

LPs often have wider dynamic range than digital sources

???

"Vinyl records have a typical dynamic range of around 70 dB, depending on the equipment used to record the audio and cut the record. CDs have a typical dynamic range of 90 to 93 dB, though 16-bit digital audio has a theoretical dynamic range of 96 dB.Dec 11, 2020"

As soon as I read the post I thought...details!  And that's what it's really about in this case it seems.  Which makes sense to me and I'd agree.  Even though the digital version of a piece is based on an analog version, up to a point in time anyway, the digital has more detail.  But this is compared to vinyl.  I wonder how it does when compared to RTR.
