"
Vinyl does not sound like analog tape."
that statement is very funny. I would be inclined to think the same with an inexpensive phono stage but not with a decent stage.
if you compare the 45 rpm pressings to the 15 ips tape they are much closer than a hi rez down load.
I have done several transfers of 15 ips to 24/192. the transfers sound very good, but a quick comparison shows its a copy .
