It’s hard pill to swallow, one that I did long ago but which many audiophiles may never. You may love your turntable sound but recognize you love the flaws. It’s okay.
In reality you don't have to buy even a $10k turntable to enjoy analog records, do not try to justify a $300k turntable made for a small niche of people, it has nothing to do with a real world of music lovers, record collectors, audio enthusiasts.
Most of the greatest records were made a long time before digital was invented. You can enjoy all of them in digital format (we do, actually), but it will never be an original format, those records made in analog over 45 years ago. If you're ok to replace original (analog) with digital copy from the analog then you can do the same with art for example? Just make a digital copy to pretend you own something unique, but It's only an illusion.
There is a different philosophy behind record collection, you can't replace it with digital illusion (except for music made in digital format from the start).
You post is like saying: "I'm smart, I listen to a perfect digital. You are fools, but it's ok if you're listening to a faulty media formats - old analog records".
Who cares?
In fact, each time I read a statement like this I'm sure a poster does not understand why vinyl is a long life media format. Definitely not because of the small group of people who can buy $300k turntables, not even because of the audiophiles in general.
