Well, not really debatable. The sound from CDs does not have the full frequency range produced by vinyls. Don't take my word, check for yourself.
the two systems are very different. What limits the cd is frequency of digitalisation (sorry forget the english word), in vinyls it's the needle size and cinetic
Another canard is that records wear out by being played, play them on a properly set up turntable and it will not happen.
Sounds about right :-) .
only laser turntable (not cd, but laser needle) do not wear vinyls
how to best record vinyl records and what has to be done to make those vinyls to be in the best condition in order to do so: clean the vinyls using wood working glue, then use Audacity to record (and edit) the contents of the vinyls so recorded for burning to CDs.
highly depends of the audio input quality also
don't forget good turntables where extremely expensive 30 years ago (don't know now),
And which is what I have :-) . Haven't used it for quite some time so have forgotten how many grams the pickup arm is set at. And the SHURE cartridges I used cost, at that time, $90 each.
so most old vinyls are weared
By this you mean the ones being played on el-cheapo setups which were a progression from the needles used on the 78 rpm discs? :-) Gawd, I have a stack of those but wouldn't try and record them and then spend years in trying to get rid of the scratches etc! :-D .
