It has Soul. It all goes back to mastering. I have owned LP's 1st pressings and 1200 CD's some of the LP's sound better others times CD's sound better. Digital you need a low noise floor, kill the noise from RF by terminating unused inputs and out puts. Well made units like Esoteric, Marantz reference, and others of that quality and well mastered CD's you will feel like tapping your foot and dancing just like LP's can do. I've heard later pressing of a vinyl sound like a transistor radio and as bad as a bad CD mastering. The rap digital as is not fair, when it 1st came out in was the dark ages, where vinyl had 40 years to get it right. Listen to old 78's and you will see how far mastering came by the mid 50,s.
More myth than fact in the tireless debate. Buy good gear, look for well recorded music and sit back and enjoy. Don't be fooled, they got everyone on downloading to get sales back, vinyl back for the boomers who grew up with it. Me don't starting over and rebuy again.
My system sounds good and I enjoy the
Music either way, both are not like you hear in the studio, choose your coloration and enjoy. To say a turntable is colorless is a joke, it puts up feed back from the music your playing which is nice to the ear, but choose your stylus by the sound you like, and that can very from brighter to warmer.
