My wife is totally into vinyl but I keep telling her, the best it will ever sound is the first time you play it and it degrades just a little bit every time the needle hits it.
CDs are consistent. The same data every play, and it’s easier to rip them to digital.
I knew guys who were so weird about their LPs, that they wouldn’t play something because they didn’t want to wear it out, which is stupid.
I also had customers (I worked at n record stores back in the day) that would play certain records EVERY day, and would buy a new copy once a year. Dark Side of the Moon, Rumors, Led Zeppelin 4, and Lynyrd Skynyrd were common ones.

People back in the days would copy their vinyls on cassettes in order to not wear them out to quickly.
Then the cassettes would wear out, but cheaper to replace…
