Its part the actual sound differences, part the ritual of putting on a record and keeping your player functioning, and for me, a huge part just collecting. Nothing like going to a store and sifling through thousands of things for something you like at a price you can love. Although I think with the vinyl comeback, a lot of people are buying brand new records online for a particular colored or splatter wax style. Those do look cool as hell, but as soon as you get into buying new, it seems like you lose a valuable part of the experience.
Honestly, I don't listen to them on a regular basis, just sometimes or when there's company. Keeps things in better condition, and sometimes I'm just straight up not too picky on how my music sounds, I just need background music for doing things. A phone with an infinite playlist, hooked to decent speakers, suffices.
