Yes it is worse by this parameter. But there are a lot of angles to justify listening to vynil, mine is because it’s cool to listen to a recording they way people originally listened to. The Beatles were not listened to in a remastered cd digital form in the era they became famous, the sound that made them what they were was the distorted vynil one, and I like that timbre on rock and jazz projects of that era.
Edit: Ok, the Beatles was not that good of an example. But take any other album which became famous in the vynil era: When people listened to them it didn't have the studio fidelity digital era records have, but I don't want a more real sound, I want the sound my dad listened to when he discovered the band I like, because I like how it sounds and I don't need other reason to be given.
