At the risk of sounding critical of your hobby, to argue the imperfections improve the experience sounds somewhat culty.

I understand there is something akin to “character” which you don’t get from something highly polished. I know when things sound too clean it can feel sterile.

I accept vinyl has a collectors value, but anything claims regarding preference come across as either pretentious or deluded (to me, as someone who probably can’t tell the difference).
