Do you believe the sound sounds better because of how it sounds
No
sounds better due to the ritual
You've nailed it. There are many small rituals that make a significant difference to our enjoyment of food, art, drugs etc etc.

The value or beauty of a copy or reproduction does not lie in it's accuracy. I spend months painting "realistic" images, which some people consider pointless in the context of modern photography.

Csb - I recognised a place on a new and very nice wall photo in my friends house, commented on it and said it was a really nice photo of the place - only to be told it was a painting which was jaw dropping as it was so good.
Chapeau to you and your kind. /csb

I was going to set off down that route but I thought we might already be in TL;DR territory. If an abstract painting already captures everything you want to see about a subject, is photo realism an irritating distraction?

Do you believe the sound sounds better because of how it sounds, or is the sound indistinguishable from digital but sounds better due to the ritual of handling a slab of black plastic? It would be possible to replicate the error signature of vinyl using DSP if it's the sound which matters, in the same way as hipsters replicate bad analogue photography with shitty Insta filters.
