it "defeats" the purpose of listening to vinyl

I also just want to comment here and say this isn't "true"

Yes there's always a quality downgrade when going from analog to digital but the purpose of vinyl is to have a huge ass album cover with art and having to do shit like put down the Needle and flip the record and you have to listen to it on a specific order without skipping and such.

HOWEVER digital music is far higher quality than vinyl so if your aim is to get the highest quality* sounds then you are just wasting your time.

*This assumes that the original recording was mastered digitally. This means essentially any release that was available on a CD at release and later.

Older records, 70s and earlier did not have access to anything digital so those records and only those records will have the most accurate high fidelity sound to the original recording. Digital remasters may exist and be higher quality but that's like watching Turner classic movies colorized. It's not for everyone & purely a matter of opinion. Modern digital recordings having higher quality sound is a fact, however.
