I would argue!! I just bought a brand new Audio Technica turntable and have been listening to some old albums. Even my wife (pretty much a product of the digital music age) agrees that they sound wonderful. Definitely warmer and more musical than CDs.

I have some albums that are over 30 years old and they still sound great (but I've always been meticulous about caring for them).
