And one scratch on the vinyl and bang goes your sound quality.
Spam the same can be said of a CD too although I do agree it takes a lot more to scratch a cD than vinyl. But that said if you look after your vinyl it should not get scratched. Use decent quality anti static liners. Never touch the vinyl, use a good carbon fibre brush and occasionally get your records professionally cleaned. The pride of my collection of vinyl is a 1964 pressing of a Dave Brubeck album. This pressing still wipes the floor with any CD version. Despite its age and the fact it gets played regularly it still sounds A1.
